    The structural principle used in the construction is this: when any loudspeaker is operating, ALL the components of the speaker are set into vibration to a larger or smaller extent. The goal of the cabinet is to reduce this vibration to a minimum, distribute it, and damp it so that there is no energy storage in the cabinet itself.

In other parts of the cabinet, extensive bracing was carefully incorporated using 25mm slabs of MDF to eliminate cabinet flex and panel resonance.
