14 CABINETS · 20 SELECTABLE COMPONENT DESIGNS

Build the cabinet from the enclosure outward.

Choose one of seven Wraith or seven Frost cabinet structures, select a modeled speaker voice and microphone, then refine position, distance, angle, room treatment and damping. The new Octet 8x8s use eight 8-inch drivers arranged in four columns and two rows.

CABINET STRUCTURES

Seven identities per realm. Grilles up front, drivers at the rear.

Wraith 2x12 and IceBox 2x12 pair two drivers horizontally. The Horizons use a wide 12x12 array. Current grille-front artwork is shown below; the Octets add their own eight-driver rear artwork.
