The separate internal circuitry ensures it has the capabilities to deliver a superior and detailed audio performance beyond its rivals.

To help realise this class-leading sonic performance, the mid/bass driver and 2x tweeters have been custom-built.

In addition, dynamic range control (DRC) is used to protect the speaker unit as it hits maximum output power.
