Aerial Acoustics Model SR3
The Aerial Acoustics Model SR3 is designed for surround channel applications where excellent sound quality is desirable and a compact, discreet appearance is required. A natural companion to Aerial primary loudspeakers, the SR3 completes the surround experience by providing a matched level of overall performance and timbre. It exhibits an impressive combination of tonal naturalness, dynamic ease, wide bandwidth, and high output capability that is rare among seemingly similar designs.
Dipole or bipole radiating patterns are selectable to best suit room position or individual preference, creating an enveloping sound field that is independent of listener location. Completely enclosed by their wraparound grilles, the SR3 can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. A trio of useful controls provides adjustments for position, radiating pattern, and room and system matching.
All Aerial loudspeaker systems are designed and constructed with fanatical attention to quality and detail. Decades of design and manufacturing experience have taught us that craftsmanship and technology go hand-in-hand when creating products of uncompromising performance and genuine long-term value. World class manufacturing techniques and production equipment are employed, complemented by the work of skilled craftsmen when only experienced hands will do.
Aerial Acoustics. Every detail matters.
