About the MP42 Multi Purpose Speaker

The MTX MP42 may be the most comprehensive
loudspeaker design ever conceived. The unparalleled
application flexibility afforded by this design gives you the
freedom to listen to music almost anywhere and in just
about any possible configuration.

Features

•Balanced Dome Tweeter

Extended high frequency response is achieved through the
use of an integrated balanced dome tweeter. This particular
design offers the efficiency of a cone type tweeter with
the wide dispersion pattern of a dome. The tweeter is
also magnetically shielded to minimize color distortion when
used as a home theater system center channel or front main
speaker.

•Dual 4” Woofers

The mineral filled polypropylene cones and butyl rubber
surrounds of the MP42 are combined with a computer
optimized magnetically shielded motor structure and long
wind voice coils to provide extended low bass response. The
MTM design allows the dual woofers to mesh perfectly with
the balanced dome tweeter to provide excellent frequency
response characteristics, both on and off axis, across the
majority of the audible frequency spectrum.

•Weather Resistant Design

All of the material used in the construction of the Model
MP42 were chosen for their environmental stability as well
as their sonic characteristics.
