DECO Convex Diffusers for Wide Sweet Spot
Pioneer DJ's DECO (Diffusion Effectual Convexity by Olson) technology is integrated into the tweeters. These convex diffusers channel high frequencies left, right, and up, creating a wider sweet spot and a 3D stereo sound experience, ensuring optimal sound quality regardless of your listening position.

Balanced Sound and Reduced Resonance
The tweeter and woofer positions are carefully aligned to eliminate crossover and ensure a balanced sound across all frequencies. Curved front edges of the cabinet further reduce resonance, contributing to a clean and clear audio output.
