Cat-5-ready, the two ip-ready SC Series models (one for in-wall installation, one for in-ceiling installation) quickly become a part of your home network, and give you the ultimate control over your playlist, throughout your home. Your network will automatically bypass the speakers' passive crossover, switching to a bi-amp mode. Ip control actually enables a significant performance improvement, including better phase characteristics, lower overall distortion and improved Sensitivity. When used in conjunction with a netstreams digilinx system (not included), preloaded digital signal processing (DSP) settings smooth frequency Response and increase bass, for utterly superb, uniquely controlled digital speaker performance. It's the state-of-the-art in audio control, at a price that you can really control.
