• Woofer-to-midrange crossover: 350 Hz (12 dB/octave slopes).
Cabinet Construction Technical Highlights:
• Separate sealed midrange enclosure shifts standing waves beyond the driver pass band,
improving sound quality.
• Acoustically transparent and FEA optimized grilles minimize diffraction.
• Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improved
on-axis high frequency response.
• FEA-optimized cabinet and bracing eliminates resonances.
