Snell Acoustics AMC 770 - Manual

AMC 770
IN-WALL VERSION OF OUR ACCLAIMED M7
PERFECT FOR MUSIC, AND 7.1 HOME THEATER
The AMC 770 is the Snell M7 bookshelf monitor, re-engineered for
flush-mount use. As you would expect, many of the features developed
by Snell over the past 30 years, are in full use. To achieve the performance
capabilities of a freestanding monitor, this new design overcomes the three
factors limiting all in-wall speakers. First, to insure predictable response,
regardless of placement or wall type, the AMC 770 has been designed
with a fully integrated and sealed aluminum enclosure. Like all conven-
tional loudspeakers, the enclosure determines the speaker’s bass response.
Second, superior materials are used in the AMC 770 to control resonance.
Other in-walls are made of cheap plastic, which color the sound, instead
the drivers from the well-reviewed winning M7 are mounted on a specially
damped MDF baffle, constructed in three layers to enhance bass/midrange
clarity and deaden wall resonance. The rear enclosure is heavy gauge
aluminum with a damping layer applied. Third, most flush mount speakers
can not reproduce a proper soundstage. To assure the spacial realism found
only in high-performance monitors, the AMC 770’s low-resonance, silk
dome tweeter has incredible dispersion, well into the voice range. Finally,
the precision crossover is hand tuned to guarantee performance to within
a remarkable 0.5dB of the Reference Master.
