AV 40 Features

1.Woofer

The woofer unit is 4" in diameter and is magnetically shielded to protect your computer video monitor from interference. It includes a high-temperature voice coil and 4" 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 40'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 40 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 and 1/4" TRS 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 Connectors

Connect your speaker wire from the speaker wire output to the speaker wire input.
