Each satellite has two microdriver to handle the high frequency and a driver for the midrange-frequency middle. This unique design is able ... ...which the microdriver listener, and all the drivers' work together "to produce sound. The key volume, treble, and bass and the power placed in the right satellite. Satellite is designed to be placed on the table. Satellite location must be easily be reached in order to facilitate the setting.
