Frequently Asked Questions

The Gen2 boasts improved power efficiency and the integrated protection against hot-swapping, but the core sonic character remains very similar to the original – exceptionally clean and detailed.
Absolutely, the high SPL handling (145 dB) makes it capable of handling loud sources, though you might need to dial back the preamp gain to avoid clipping.
The tight pattern means it's more sensitive to room reflections; a moderately treated room will yield the best results, though it can still be used in less-than-ideal spaces with careful placement.
