Avid's Model 230
3-way acoustic suspension speaker system employs newly developed Avid drivers
consisting of a 12-inch woofer, 4,5-inch cone midrange and 1-inch dome tweeter.
The cabinet enclosure and grille assembly are said to be engineered in a unique
way to create a truly integrated acoustic system that significantly reduces
unwanted cabinet diffraction effects that produce "boxy" sounds in
other speaker systems. Special features include modular, zero-distortion
dividing network assembly; speaker fuse overload protection; magnetic fluid
technology with the Avid tweeter for improved power handling; "forward
aligned" shallow-cone 10-inch woofer for reduced cone breakup. Optimum
Dispersion Couplers for mid and high frequency drivers; "solid front"
grille panels with rolled edges to significantly reduce cabinet edge
diffraction.
An optional floor
stand is available to properly time-align driver units.
