Notes 1. Acoustical specifications are for the minimum configuration of two DS-4P cabinets and
are measured on axis at 2 meters. One meter figure is derived from this data.
2. Subject to half space loading, measured with one-third octave frequency resolution in
fixed ISO bands.
3. Nominal 8Ω resistive load, pink noise, 100V peak.
