Features

Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology™ provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
Switchable voicing provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode.
Dynamic SonicGuard™ overload protection
Built-in 70V/100V transformer, plus 8 ohm direct capability.
Swivel (pan) / tilt wall bracket included.
