All New, Bezel-Free Magnetic Grille : A completely redesigned powder coated magnetic steel grille eliminates the bezel for seamless, pristine integration into the living space.
Controlled Dispersion Technology™ : CDT technology allows for the tweeter and the woofer to be aimed up to 15° in any direction, helping to ensure on-axis frequency response at almost any listening position.
Exclusive Patented Sky Hook® Cinch Installation System : This exclusive installation system engages the dog legs automatically when the speaker is inserted into the cutout hole with a preset clamping force, eliminating the possibility of overtorquing. If dealing with an uneven space, a 1/4 turn of each dog leg screw achieves an even more flush finish. This fast, easy installation system reduces install time by up to 75%.
