Ce module fournit une clarté et une pureté de reproduction des fréquences les plus basses, même avec un niveau sonore élevé. Placé derrière un rideau ou une petite chaise, il donne la sensation que le son provient directement de vos petites enceintes cubes. Avec la technologie d'enceintes Direct Reflecting : éprouvez une sensation troublante de réalité issue d'un équilibre naturel entre sons réfléchis et directs, digne d'un concert. Grâce aux enceintes blindées électromagnétiquement, placez vos enceintes près de votre poste de télévision sans que cela affecte la qualité d'image.
