30°-Angled Guided Soundfield™
Dual-Directional Soundfield™ & 30°-Angled Guided Soundfield™ Models
Our Stereo/Mono (SM) systems offer rich pure-fidelity dual-channel L/R sound from a single speaker. The Dual Directional Soundfield™ provides wider-than-normal dispersion making the systems ideal in small rooms that are less suited to a stereo pair, or where a single speaker is preferred.
Drivers in our 30°-Angled Guided Soundfield™ sit at a 30° angle from the ceiling, enabling you to adjust the direction of the sound, without compromising the curial sound dispersion pattern between drivers and baffle, thereby preserving sonic integrity. 30°-Angled Guided Soundfield™ systems are ideal as front speakers and as surround and/or rear speakers in a home theatre system.
