This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the center channel (purple trace) and subwoofer (blue trace). The loudspeaker was measured with the grille at a distance of 1 meter and scaled for display purposes.

The center channel's listening-window response (a five-point average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal and vertical responses) measures +1.97/–2.41 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. The –3-dB point is at 254 Hz, and the –6-dB point is at 205 Hz.

The subwoofer's close-miked response, normalized to the level at 80 Hz, indicates that the lower –3-dB point is at 63 Hz and the –6-dB point is at 57 Hz. The upper –3-dB point is at 156 Hz.—MJP
