Custom-designed transducers: The high-output 12-inch woofer delivers powerful bass with minimal distortion, while the 1.4-inch precision compression driver ensures accurate mid-range and high frequencies.
Portable cabinet design: A compact, lightweight plastic cabinet with ergonomic handles makes transportation and setup easy. A rugged steel grille protects the internal components.
Smart floor monitoring design: An optimized 50° wedge angle and symmetrical cabinet shape allow for seamless use as a floor monitor.
