For the finest sound in the world.
Basically , Lowther design has remained constant from the start since these units function on natural sonic principles which cannot be bettered. But through research, new materials and remarkably improved engineering techniques, Lowther drive units provide fantastically good performance whatever the sound source. These units are intended for use in internal folded-horn cabinets, the designs of which make electrical cross-over systems unnecessary.
Abridged technical specifications of Lowther Drive Units PM6, PM4 AND PM2 are given overleaf.
