Advanced Acoustic Engineering

• HVFR™ Tweeter (High-Velocity Folded Ribbon): Delivers an extended frequency response up to 35 kHz with remarkably low distortion. The air-compression ribbon design ensures smooth dispersion and an open, natural top end.
• 4.5˝ MVPP™ Mid/Bass Drivers: Proprietary Multi-Vaned Phase Plug and computer-optimised cone topology provide balanced lows and midrange precision, with a tight 80 Hz – 35 kHz bandwidth.

Performance: Immersive, Detailed, Unforgettable

In a dedicated home theatre role, the Super Sat 3C nails dialogue intelligibility and stereo imaging with surgical accuracy. Music lovers will appreciate the ribbon tweeter’s air-density control, which generates a palpable sense of space around vocals and acoustic instruments. Coupled with a subwoofer or floorstanders, you’ll experience full-range fidelity that translates every nuance—from hushed whispers to orchestral climaxes.

Whether configured as a centre channel, surround speaker or as on-wall height channels in a Dolby Atmos array, the Super Sat 3C slots effortlessly into any GoldenEar-based system.
