Black Walnut centre speaker seen from the front without its grille

AL-MAC and AL-MAG coaxial

In the middle of the baffle, a coaxial driver places the 25 mm AL-MAC tweeter at the heart of the 152 mm AL-MAG midrange. The midrange uses the patented Dual-Sync continuous flux motor and the tweeter a dual-gap motor, with an OSW waveguide and a PPA lens. This single source keeps voices clear and consistent, even from off-centre seats.

Woofers and passive radiators

Two 177 mm woofers with one-piece CARBON-X cones handle the bass below 500 Hz. They are backed by two 177 mm passive radiators of the same construction, which extend the bass without a port. The speaker reaches down to 37 Hz to the DIN standard.

90.8 cm sealed cabinet

The faceted sealed cabinet is 90.8 cm wide, 22.6 cm high and 32.7 cm deep, and weighs 21.8 kg. Its internal Cascade-Fusion bracing stiffens the walls and limits resonance. The Founder Series is designed, engineered and built near Toronto, Canada.

Black Walnut rear panel with dual binding posts

Bi-amping and finishes

The dual binding posts allow bi-wiring or bi-amping, with a recommended amplifier power of 15 to 260 W and an in-room sensitivity of 94 dB. The response runs from 55 Hz to 23 kHz within ± 2 dB on-axis. The 90C comes in satin Black Walnut and in hand-rubbed high-gloss Piano Black.
