YELLOW ARAMID CONE

Made in France, the aramid fibre K2 cone is an iconic yellow colour. This aramid fibre cone is an evolution of the Polykevlar cone featured on classic 1980s JMLab speakers. The original was engineered to improve the balance between weight, rigidity and damping, with the goal of guaranteeing high-quality audio performance with any musical genre The side panels of the loudspeakers are finished in Ash Grey whilst the front panel has a leather effect.
