What is AVTTM Speaker Technology?
AVT, (Acoustic Vector Technology) is a new speaker design in which two drivers are perpendicularly positioned to each other with unique components of the stereo signal delivered to each driver. This innovative design creates a noticeable addition of size, depth and width to the stereo image. Through acoustically combining components of the stereo signal, a full and vibrant sound image is created, offering a remarkable balance of direct and ambient sound not found in any other speaker system.

How does AVT Speaker Technology Work?
Direct and reverberant sounds, which are separately radiated, combine in space to create an improved representation of the stereo image. The 90 degree driver orientation causes an acoustical addition of the ambient sounds (L-R, R-L) to rise at a 45 degree angle to the listener's ear.

Additionally, an acoustic null or attenuation of the difference information occurs between the speakers creating the wide dispersion of the ambient information to the outside of the listener while allowing direct or common channel information to occupy the soundstage between the speakers.
