Features
Octet Matrix Audio has leveraged decades of practical speaker design, its worldwide supply
chain network, and unconditional commitment to quality to provide high end audio at
affordable prices.
The Octet Matrix Audio BA21 speaker systems offer the following features:
Cabinets are constructed of 3/4” MDF with internal bracing and a 1” MDF baffle to
minimize audio colorations caused by sympathetic cabinet wall vibrations.
Smooth on and off axis frequency response to maintain accurate frequency balance,
even in difficult listening environments.
Gold plated 5-way binding posts accept up to 10 AWG wire.
Magnetically shielded to prevent video interference and magnetic media data damage.
(2) 5-1/4” mid bass drivers with low resonance pulp cone provides detailed midrange
with low distortion, while the natural rubber surround supplies a highly damped
termination and evenly distributed compliance.
1” doped cloth, ferrofluid damped dome tweeter maintains linear response
characteristics beyond ±45° off axis.
High quality crossover components include metalized polypropylene capacitors and air
core inductors. Inductor windings are placed at 90° angles to minimize mutual
inductance.
