Frequently Asked Questions
The coaxial design blends the high and low frequencies, creating a more coherent soundstage and wider, more consistent coverage – it’s noticeably better than many speakers in this category.
Yes, the birch plywood is a step above standard MDF; it’s considerably more resistant to impacts and road rash, but still needs to be protected from extreme weather.
Absolutely, the angle is suitable for monitor use, though the lack of dedicated monitor circuitry means you’ll need to manage feedback carefully and might benefit from a little EQ tweaking.
