As the dipole rear effects speaker for the Q Series, the two 130mm (5-1⁄4") Uni-Q arrays in the heavily braced curved cabinets of the iQ8ds disperse atmospheric effects encoded in digital soundtracks evenly throughout the listening area to create a sense of place so real you can almost touch it. Perfectly timbre-matched to the rest of the range, transitions are seamless and the detailing is impeccable. A simple keyhole mounting system allows effortlessly quick wall installation. Sit back and enjoy.
