They are also extremely easy to use as most features can be controlled via remote control which makes setup from the listening position a breeze. They can accept both speaker level as well as line level signals (we would recommend the former connection).
A microphone (pictured above) is supplied which works with the DSP circuitry to reduce output at major room peaks, giving a flatter response, all at the touch of a button.
The range features cone sizes spanning 8” to 15”, with inbuilt amplification from 180 watts to 750 watts and -
