Wide Directivity Woofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
Sony have reduced the cavity effect of this new wide directivity X-Balanced woofer by minimising the depth of its concave shape.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximises the diaphragm area for richer bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
19mm Soft Dome Type Tweeter
This 19mm Soft Dome Type Tweeter works with the woofer to reproduce clear, natural sound at mid to high frequencies.
Bevelled baffle edges
The baffle has been designed with bevelled edges to reduce sound diffraction at the sides of the speaker.

Real-time restoration of all your compressed files
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time.
