FEATURES & BENEFITS
LONG THROW POLYPROPYLENE WOOFER
The unusually stiff and light polypropylene cone, the butyl rubber surround, the
substantial magnet, and the rigid steel basket are all optimized for large excur-
sions of the woofer. In this way, the five inch cone can create the same deep
bass output of a much larger speaker moving small distances in and out. The
end result is rich satisfying bass from a compact, weather resistant loudspeaker.
WEATHER RESISTANT TWEETER
The 1/2” polycarbonate dome tweeter offers extraordinarily wide dispersion
characteristics, providing installers with greater flexibility when placing the
speakers. The smooth, extended frequency response of this unique tweeter
assures great stereo imaging and remarkable clarity.
TAPERING SHAPE
The cabinet of the OS3 is shaped so that the speaker will tuck discretely away
into corners or under eaves.
RIGID, ACOUSTICALLY INERT ENCLOSURE
The cabinet of the OS3 is composed of mineral filled polypropylene. This
material is extremely non-resonant. All you hear is the music.
LOW DIFFRACTION GRILLE AND FRONT BAFFLE
The grille of the OS3 has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, resulting in
acoustical transparency. The front baffle is gently curved in a radius optimized
for the best sound. Sound waves emanating from the drivers are not reflected
by the surrounding parts of the speaker.
PRECISION CROSSOVER
An electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes the
music to the woofer and the tweeter. The two-way design of the OS3’s
crossover provides excellent stereo imaging and low distortion.
