dispersion across a wide listening area. It is supported on the bass enclosure 
by three machined feet. 

Like the head unit, the bass cabinet is constructed from interlaminated panels 
with extensive bracing. The front panel is 6mm glass and incorporates a 
window for the matrix display and infrared remote control sensor. The cabinet 
stands on triangulated adjustable machined foot assemblies with provision for 
floor spikes or skids.

Overall distortion typically <0.02% at any frequency or level 

Two digital inputs to SPDIF standard; 32kHz–96kHz sampling 
rates at up to 24 bit; MHR support. (A future software update 
will enable support for 192kHz.) 

Two separate enclosures: mid/top and bass.
