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.
