AV 30 Features
1.
Woofer
The woofer unit is 3" in diameter and is magnetically shielded to
protect your computer video monitor from interference. It includes a
high-temperature voice coil and 3" polypropylene treated paper cone.
The woofer delivers balanced mid- and low-frequency response.
2.
Tweeter
By employing a specially developed 1" silk cone with protective
magnetic shielding, the tweeter can deliver an extremely natural
response. It minimizes resonance by adapting a unique internal
damping technology.
3.
Bass Reflex Port
The hole in the rear panel is a bass reflex port. It is designed to
discharge very low frequency signals and enhance the overall bass
response.
4.
Enclosure
Along with the other components, the AV 30's enclosure plays an
important role. In order to provide more stable performance, we used
a special medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and unique interior
reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and minimize distortion.
Additionally, our innovative speaker monitor cabinet includes
carefully placed acoustic material that makes the AV 30 sound much
bigger than it is—resulting in a smooth, natural bass response.
5.
Stereo Auxiliary Input and Headphone Output
For maximum flexibility, we have included a stereo "Aux" input which allows you to plug in a secondary audio source
(such as your portable music player) in addition to the main RCA inputs. The volume control works on all inputs
simultaneously. Additionally, there is a stereo headphone output next to the "Aux" jack that mutes the sound coming
out of the speakers and redirects it to your headphones.
6.
Speaker Wire Input/Output
Connect your speaker wire from the speaker wire output to the speaker wire input.
