Product description
A complete system in two boxes: the right-hand cabinet carries 2 × 35 W of Class D and every input, the left is passive and takes a speaker cable. Behind the matt-black baffle are a 25 mm dome and a 127 mm mid-bass, crossed at 3.5 kHz and vented through Magnat's Airflex port — a rear opening rounded to keep it quiet at volume. What it will connect to is the point: HDMI ARC with CEC so a television's own remote sets the level, optical, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX Low Latency, a 3.5 mm jack, and an RCA pair switchable to a moving-magnet phono stage. Volume and source live on the back of the active speaker. Black textured veneer.
