Istruzioni per l'uso

Adjust the volume and other audio settings on your amplifier or source device. The Q11 Meta is compatible with various devices including desktop systems, home theaters, and MP3 players.

The Q11 Meta features advanced technologies for superior sound:

  • Meta Material Technology: Absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, resulting in purer, more natural sound.
  • Serie di driver Uni-Q: Acts as a single point source, dispersing sound evenly for an immersive and cohesive soundstage.
  • Hybrid Bass Driver Design: Provides stiffness for piston-like movement, delivering precise and agile bass.
