?HIGHLY COMPETENT, HIGHLY ADAPTABLE AND AN OUTSTANDING VALUE? -Sound and Vision Magazine INTRODUCING THE OUTLAW LCR LOUDSPEAKER Following in the footsteps of our Bookshelf Loudspeaker, The Outlaw LCR (Left/Center/Right Channel) loudspeaker is truly something special. We believe it is the most sophisticated and flexible home theater speaker ever offered. Perhaps, most importantly, the Outlaw LCR is the first home theater loudspeaker that, with the flip of a switch, is capable of optimal performance in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. Until now, getting a perfect match across the front channels of a home theater system has always involved a compromise. Three equal speakers, all placed vertically will sound great, but aesthetically, when paired with a flat panel TV looks downright silly. Alternatively, you could place the ?center channel? speaker in a horizontal position to match the lines of the TV, but ultimately, this orientation alters the character of the midrange, thus ruining the perfect timbre match created by your ?identical? speakers (especially if you are seated to the left or right of the center channel). So what does this all mean? Imagine listening to a ?pan? of someone speaking as he walks across the screen moving initially from your left speaker, across the center channel and ultimately arriving at the right speaker. By rotating your center channel to the horizontal position, this ?pan? will reveal a choppy, mismatched sound field. So, there are your choices: ?matched sound? or ?appropriate aesthetics.? Pick one. How did we solve this dilemma? Outlaw collaborated with a talented team of experienced loudspeaker and transducer engineers with over 60-man years of experience to address the issue. Their solution was to outfit the LCR with a set of two different crossovers: one for vertical use, the other for horizontal ?center channel? applications.
