    “off-axis” applications. The SE Carbon is a complete departure from the typical Hybrid Audio Technologies philosophy of point-source midbass and midrange (full-range) drivers. The composite cone, although not ideal for wide-bandwidth operation, does an aplomb job of effectively recreating midbass and lower to middle midrange tones effectively.
