Description

The

Citation

5.4

is

a

high

-quality,

subwoofer

loudspeaker,

designed

to

be

used

in

conjunction

with

either

full

-range

or

satellite

speakers

in

a

home

theater

or

critical

listening

environment.

The

Citation

5.4

is

Home

THX®

certified,

and

it

is

a

perfect

companion

to

other

Home

THX

speakers

in

the

Citation

line.

The

Citation

5.4

is

designed

for

forward

-firing

installation.

It

uses

a

12

-inch

driver

with

a

cast

frame

basket,

a

12

-pound

magnet

motor

assembly

and

a

3

-inch

voice

coil.

When

combined

with

the

carefully

constructed,

heavy-duty

speaker

cabinet,

the

Citation

5.4

forms

a

powerful

system

to

deliver

the

thunderous

lows

of

the

latest

action

adventure

movie,

or

the

smooth

bass

notes

of

a

classical

organ

concert.

The

Citation

5.4

is

a

passive

subwoofer,

which

means

that

it

does

not

include

any

onboard

crossover

or

amplifier.

It

is

strongly

suggested

that

this

speaker

be

used

with

a

Home

THX

surround

processor

such

as

the

Citation

7.0

or

a

properly

adjusted

electronic

crossover

system.

The

use

of

high

-quality

amplifiers

such

as

the

Citation

5.1

will

also

enhance

the

performance

of

this

subwoofer.
