All loudspeaker measurements are performed independently at the National Research Council of Canada. All measurement data and graphical information displayed below are the property of the SoundStage! Network and Schneider Publishing Inc. Reproduction in any format is not permitted.
Notes: Because of the low price and limited output capability of this loudspeaker, the THD+N and linearity measurements were performed at a sound-pressure level of 85dB instead of the usual 90dB to avoid damaging the drive units and/or crossover components with high voltage. Since those measured are performed and plotted at a 2-meter distance, that is equivalent to 91dB at 1 meter, which is still quite loud. In addition, we performed an extra measurement to show the on-axis performance without the supplied grille in place.
