FEATURES & BENEFITS

FEATURES&BENEFITS

LONG THROW POLYPROPYLENE WOOFER

The unusually stiff and light polypropylene cone, the butyl rubber surround, the substantial magnet, and the rigid steel basket are all optimized for large excur- sions of the woofer. In this way, the five inch cone can create the same deep bass output of a much larger speaker moving small distances in and out. The end result is rich satisfying bass from a compact, weather resistant loudspeaker.

WEATHER RESISTANT TWEETER

The 1/2” polycarbonate dome tweeter offers extraordinarily wide dispersion characteristics, providing installers with greater flexibility when placing the speakers. The smooth, extended frequency response of this unique tweeter assures great stereo imaging and remarkable clarity.

TAPERING SHAPE

The cabinet of the OS3 is shaped so that the speaker will tuck discretely away into corners or under eaves.

RIGID, ACOUSTICALLY INERT ENCLOSURE

The cabinet of the OS3 is composed of mineral filled polypropylene. This material is extremely non-resonant. All you hear is the music.

LOW DIFFRACTION GRILLE AND FRONT BAFFLE

The grille of the OS3 has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, resulting in acoustical transparency. The front baffle is gently curved in a radius optimized for the best sound. Sound waves emanating from the drivers are not reflected by the surrounding parts of the speaker.

PRECISION CROSSOVER

An electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes the music to the woofer and the tweeter. The two-way design of the OS3’s crossover provides excellent stereo imaging and low distortion.
