The essential structure is formed by two extra-tempered glass panels and a matte black lacquered MDF shell. The electronic system, a checkup solution, allows audio playback from various sources (DAB, FM, and Bluetooth) and includes a 7" LCD display with control via knob encoders. Low-latency wireless technology enables pairing with a subwoofer, ensuring a high-quality sound experience.
