    • Minimum Frequency Response: 34 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones.

The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Amplifier Class: D (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
    • Speaker Type: Floorstanding
    • Subwoofer Type: Powered (Passive subwoofers require an external amplifier, such as the one driving the main speakers in the system, for power.
