PRO LX8 Bookshelf Speaker
Important: Be sure you remove the
protective packing materials before
using the speaker (see the separate
“Special Precautions” included with
your speaker).
The 8-inch driver is specially designed
to accurately produce all sounds from
50 to 2,200 Hz.
The pliable diaphragm in the 2 × 4-
inch wide-dispersion tweeter can ac-
curately produce sounds from 2,200 to
25,000 Hz with extraordinarily low dis-
tortion. The tweeter’s unique design
means there is virtually no physical
limitation to its high-frequency sound
production.
The speaker cabinet is finished in
black woodgrain vinyl. The black cloth
grilles are acoustically transparent,
and you can remove them for safe and
easy cleaning.
The LX8’s features include:
Acoustic Design — provides broad,
smooth frequency response.
360° Wide-Dispersion Tweeter —
reproduces frequencies over 20 kHz
and uses a pliable diaphragm to re-
duce or eliminate distortion caused by
excess vibration.
OPTIMUS
Your PRO LX8 Bookshelf Speaker’s
internal elements were exclusively de-
signed to give you amazing music re-
production in a small enclosure. It
produces high sound quality with very
low distortion, and actually delivers
decreasing distortion as the sound
moves to the higher frequency ranges.
High-Compliance Woofer — accu-
rately tracks signals to provide out-
standing bass.
