The Outlaw
Bookshelf Loudspeakers provide remarkable performance in their price
range. True to even the most demanding source material, your new Outlaw
Loudspeakers won’t skip a beat.
After a brief “break-in” period, you’ll discover a sound that maintains its image
regardless of where you are in the room, a low frequency response that is both
deep and controlled that belies its compact size, and a natural timbre that
sustains the important midrange integrity of the very best recordings.
This is all accomplished through precision engineering and meticulous manu-
facturing standards here in the United States. From our custom designed tweeter
built with precision Scandanavian parts to 100% film capacitors, the Outlaw
Bookshelf Loudspeaker’s design and assembly takes nothing for granted. In the
manufacturing process every Outlaw Loudspeaker is measured and calibrated
to match our reference design plus or minus 0.5 dB. That means your pair of
speakers will be virtually identical, a standard that is only found in the world’s
finest loudspeakers.
The many features of the Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeakers include:
