• 1000Wrms continuous power handling (AES Standard)
• Flexirol™ technology for greater excursion control
• Double suspension for exceptional linearity at the highest excursions
• Saturated gap technology for lower harmonic distortion
• Extremely low frequency response, down to 30Hz
• Smart chassis design minimises acoustic distortion
