The monitor has a 400 W RMS Class D amplifier, two 8-inch woofers, a 6.5-inch midrange driver and a 1-inch tweeter. The force-canceling dual-woofer system provides clean, accurate bass with reduced resonances and minimal distortion. Each monitor has a digital control panel on top, with three-band EQ, input attenuation and presets for desktop and wall placement.

The new model includes an 80 Hz high-pass filter for use with subwoofers. Special vertical acoustic ports at the front of the enclosure create a cardioid front baffle. This design reduces sound reflections and is useful in untreated rooms. Connections include an analog XLR input and AES3 input/output.
