USER MANUAL MORO-80P® LOUDSPEAKER 02

01. Introduction

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing to purchase the MORO-80P loudspeaker.
Engineered for exceptional acoustic properties, sound quality and aesthetics, the
MORO-80P is an elegant Hi-Fi Passive loudspeaker with a unique design that can
easily adapt to any environment.
Extensive tests in the anechoic room and the help from professional musicians
inspired us to develop the MORO-80P, a truly unique product with unrivaled sound
clarity, dynamic response and broad low frequency bass range.
The second order filter and the aluminum cabinet volume have been engineered to
equalize the sound to attenuate annoying middle frequencies for a warm and
pleasant sound.
The solid aluminum made cabinet and all components have been carefully selected
to work perfectly and harmoniously together to give you the best quality sound.
Your MORO-80P is rated at 80W RMS Output Power providing great bass
response and powerful sound indoors or outdoors, together with 360 degree
sound for ambience for an extraordinary experience.
