dispersion across a wide listening area. It is supported on the bass enclosure
by three machined feet.
Like the head unit, the bass cabinet is constructed from interlaminated panels
with extensive bracing. The front panel is 6mm glass and incorporates a
window for the matrix display and infrared remote control sensor. The cabinet
stands on triangulated adjustable machined foot assemblies with provision for
floor spikes or skids.
