Product Construction
Crossover Networks
We design our crossovers with the finest electrical
components. We use a glass PCB board and handwound chokes.
Grilles
Our grilles can be painted to match your decor.
Speaker Baffle
We chose a stiff, damped glass-filled nylon baffle for
the rectangular speakers. It provides greater definition
in the midrange and bass.
Bass Units
Our long-throw bass units have polycarbonate cones
and butyl surrounds for consistent performance even
in high humidity environments.
Broad Dispersion
In-wall speakers like the 500 Series are typically used
to fill a listening room with sound. This requires broad
dispersion. Unlike most products in their class, the
500 Series use broad dispersion, high power handling
tweeters, filling your room with sound.
Tight Tolerances
We have these speakers built to the tightest
tolerances in the industry. Where other manufacturers
routinely produce speakers with a tolerance of ±6dB,
we ship products within a ±3dB window. This assures
a more refined, consistent sound from each unit.
