Dayton Audio MK402 10.2cm 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair

Beauty More than Skin deep

The MK402 features an attractive textured, black vinyl finish that stands out at first glance. The cabinet offers a unique geometric design for the baffle that sets it apart from much more basic speakers in its price range. The grill is removable and made with a high-quality black cloth that discretely obscures the most appealing features of this design, the drivers.

Elegant 1.91cm Silk-Dome Tweeter

The 1.91cm tweeter is elegant with a very airy top-end that can be appreciated by anybody that enjoys the delicate side of music that is often left behind by most speakers. The dispersion from this tweeter provides a life-like ambiance that truly sets a scene for the music.

Impressively low Frequency Extension from a 10.2cm Woofer

The woofer is able to play down to the 60 Hz range with ease. A 10.2cm woofer playing low frequencies would normally limit the upper-frequency range, that is not the case here. The woofer plays through a large portion of the vocal range, adding coherency and smoothness to music.

More Than Just a Capacitor

The crossover featured in this design utilizes a 2.5 kHz, 2nd order low pass and a 3rd order high pass, both utilizing acoustical slopes. The board is then affixed to the rear of the recessed terminal cup, which features a pair of 5-way gold-plated binding posts.
