The loudspeaker shall be a linear, low‑distortion, self‑powered, low‑frequency control element which shall be capable of flown and groundstacked configurations. Its transducer shall be one 21‑inch long‑excursion cone driver.

The loudspeaker shall incorporate internal processing and a 2-channel class-D amplifier. Protection circuits shall include TruPower limiting. The analog audio input shall be electronically balanced with a 10 kΩ impedance and accept a nominal 0 dBV (1.0 V rms) signal. Analog audio connectors shall be XLR 3-pin Neutrik True Outdoor Protection (TOP), female and male. The digital audio input format shall be Milan AVB and the connector shall be a Neutrik etherCON TOP.

Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows: the operating frequency range shall be 30 Hz – 125 Hz; frequency response shall be 30–112 Hz ±4 dB, measured in half‑space with pink noise at 4 m, 1/3‑octave frequency resolution; phase response shall be 41–121 Hz ±30 degrees; the AES75 Maximum Linear Sound Levels shall be 139.1 dBZpk, 129.2 dBZ, with an RMS input level of +6.0 dBV for analog, -17.8 dBFS for digital, measured in half‑space at 4 m, referred to 1 m.

The internal power supply shall perform EMI filtering, soft current turn-on, and surge suppression. Power requirements shall be nominal 200 – 240 V AC, 50–60 Hz. Power shall be 1200 W maximum long-term continuous ( >10 seconds), 2400 W burst <1 second). The AC power connector shall be a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 True Outdoor Protection (TOP). The loudspeaker shall include a telemetry monitoring function via Ethernet network.

Components shall be mounted in an optimally tuned, vented enclosure constructed of premium multi-ply birch and coated with a slightly textured black finish. The front protective grille shall be powder-coated stamped steel.

The IP rating shall be IP55 when connected cables are terminated with Neutrik TOP connectors or when the connector sealing caps are in place.
