GENERAL INFORMATION

Specifications

The Odyssey hybrid speaker system consists of a broad- range single element electrostatic transducer integrated with a quick-response woofer. This approach takes advan- tage of the benefits that both technologies have to offer. Dispersion is a controlled 30 degrees. This was achieved by curving the electrostatic transducer element itself, an elegantly simple solution.
