Anti-Lobing Center Channel Design
Like its more premium siblings, the C100 and C10, the C1 also utilizes a 2.5-Way crossover design to eliminate lobing and preserve the tonality of the source material. This results in a significant reduction of negative effects on sound reproduction, leading to a more precise and accurate listening experience.
