Know before you buy
While the Script i features a 6.5-inch woofer for enhanced low-end, its frequency response starts at 70 Hz. For a full-range home theater experience or deep bass reproduction, we recommend pairing these with a dedicated subwoofer.
The integrated swivel wall mount allows you to angle the speaker toward your primary listening position. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the sound field in surround sound setups where the speakers are mounted on side or rear walls.
Yes, the Script i is compatible with 4, 6, or 8-ohm amplifiers. With a recommended power range of 20 to 300 watts per channel, it is versatile enough to be driven by most standard home theater receivers or dedicated power amplifiers.
Each unit measures 43.9 inches tall and 10.2 inches wide. Given their 6.8-inch depth, they provide a slim profile that integrates well into most rooms without protruding excessively from the wall.
The Generation 2 CLS electrostatic transducer is robust, but like all electrostatic speakers, it should be kept away from direct, prolonged sunlight and excessive dust. You can occasionally clean the panel with a soft, dry cloth or a low-suction vacuum brush attachment to maintain performance.
The Script i is highly versatile and excels at both. Its electrostatic design provides the high-resolution detail needed for critical music listening, while its wide dispersion makes it an excellent choice for immersive surround sound in home theater applications.
