CRYSTAL-CLEAR, ROOM-FILLING SOUND
3 SPEAKERS POWERED BY 3 DEDICATED DIGITAL AMPLIFIERS The PLAY:3 uses 3 state-of the-art digital amplifiers individually coupled with 3 speakers to deliver great sound to any room. The wireless music system provides pure, clean sound that is perfect for bringing room filling music to a kitchen, bedroom, office, or just about any room in your home. A bass radiator produces powerful low notes while two mid-range drivers and one tweeter fills out the sound. CLASS-D AMPLIFIERS State of the art, great sounding amplifiers that are light weight, powerful and very energy efficient in standby and use. TWEETER 1 tweeter creates a crisp and accurate high frequency response. MID-RANGE DRIVERS 2 dedicated mid-range drivers ensure the faithful reproduction of mid-range frequencies crucial for accurate playback of vocals and instruments. BASS RADIATOR A bass radiator is tuned to use the energized air volume inside of PLAY:3 to provide deep, clean and surprisingly powerful bass from such a small package. ALL-DIGITAL SOUND ARCHITECTURE From the recording studio to your home the music is reproduced as the artist intended. All filter settings, active equalization, and time-alignment are done in the digital domain through state-of-the-art DSP circuitry so there’s absolutely no loss of audio quality or energy. ADJUSTABLE BASS AND TREBLE CONTROLS Optimize sound performance using zone-specific bass, treble, balance, and loudness controls. Adjust volume by individual zone or by groups of zones.
