Studiophile AV 20 Features

1. Woofer

The woofer unit is 2” in diameter and is
magnetically shielded to protect your
computer video monitor from interference. It
includes a high-temperature voice coil and 2”
polypropylene treated paper cone. The woofer
delivers balanced mid- and low-frequency
response.

2. Tweeter

By employing a specially developed 1” Mylar
diaphragm with protective magnetic shielding,
the tweeter can deliver an extremely natural
response. It minimizes resonance by adapting a
unique internal damping technology.

3. Bass Reflex Port

The hole in the rear panel is a bass reflex port.
It is designed to discharge very low frequency
signals and enhance the overall bass response.

4. Enclosure

Along with the other components, the
Studiophile AV 20’s enclosure plays an
important role. In order to provide more stable
performance, we used a special medium­density fiberboard ( MDF) and unique interior
reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and
impact generated under extreme conditions.
Additionally, our innovative speaker monitor
cabinet includes carefully placed acoustic
material that makes the Studiophile AV 20
sound much bigger than it is—resulting in a
smooth, natural bass response.

5. Network & Power
Amplifiers

The power amplifiers and crossover network, for
the Studiophile AV 20 are specially designed for
this woofer and tweeter. The network distributes
low-, mid-, and high-frequency audio signals
to the proper components in order to minimize
distortion and to achieve a balanced sound.
