PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

By providing the choice of diffuse field or direct field response, and the means to easily
switch between them, the AMC550mp offers the ideal performance for today’s surround
applications. Furthermore, this unique two-way system mounts flush with the wall surface
and virtually disappears in the listening room.  In addition to its superb surround perfor-
mance, its excellent performance as a direct radiator makes it equally suitable for front
channel use.

Inside the AMC550mp are two subenclosed 2
