The Carina II
Carina II is a two-way, three drive unit loudspeaker of high efficiency capable of producing high quality sound loud enough to satisfy the needs of those who like to listen at realistic, live volume levels.
The twin bass drivers bring other advantages including higher power output and reduced distortion, making Carina II an ideal loudspeaker for heavy rock music as well as new digital records and compact discs which have extended bass response.
Carina II is designed to meet the challenge of the digital age in audio at a price which every music lover and audiophile can afford. It is a two-way system in which a computer-designed dividing network produces a "seamless" match between twin bass drivers and a single centre-mounted high-frequency unit.
