Know before you buy
The Flax cone is a natural material that provides high internal damping and rigidity. This results in a more neutral sound profile with significantly improved dialogue clarity and a wider, more natural soundstage compared to traditional synthetic cones.
The Sub Air subwoofer uses a wireless transmitter that connects to your AV receiver's subwoofer output. This allows you to place the subwoofer anywhere in the room without needing to run a long cable from your receiver.
The Dôme Flax 5.1 system is specifically optimized for rooms between 30 and 40 square meters. While it offers impressive output for its size, it may struggle to fill larger open-concept spaces or rooms significantly exceeding this range.
No, this is a passive component speaker system. It does not include an AV receiver, so 4K pass-through and automatic room calibration features will depend entirely on the specific receiver you choose to pair with the speakers.
Yes, the Dôme satellite speakers are designed for versatility. They feature an integrated pivoting head that allows for easy wall mounting or shelf placement, making them ideal for discreet integration into your home decor.
