Users can set different calibration profiles, allowing for placement in different rooms, and tuning to different targets.

Woofer

• Shorting rings to reduce flux modulation.
• Optimized design for high linearity and low distortion.

Boundary EQ Settings

• Boundary EQ offers presets that are tailored to eight common speaker placements.
