Frequently Asked Questions
The USB-C connection bypasses your computer's audio interface, potentially offering cleaner audio, but relies on the monitor's internal AD converter.
While the aluminum woofers are well-controlled, the smaller size means they lack significant low-end extension; a subwoofer might be beneficial for those genres.
The DSP helps tame reflections, but it's not a substitute for proper acoustic treatment; expect better results with some absorption in your room.
