The drivers are unified via a carefully optimised crossover, with particular attention paid to phase integration, using premium audio-grade capacitors, resistors and low-loss inductors, for best signal transfer and reduced distortion.

Internally, the enclosure is carefully braced to further reduce resonance and lined with compound wadding, which absorbs energy across a broader frequency range and helps control internal standing waves.
