  • Notes
  • Q16 High-fidelity loudspeaker.

    The 016 employs the well-proven acoustic principles specially developed by Sinclair in which a special driver assembly is meticulously matched to the characteristics of the uniquely designed cabinet. In reviewing this exclusive Sinclair design, technical journals have justly compared the Q16 with much more expensive loudspeakers. Its shape enables the Q16 to be positioned and matched to its environment to much better effect than is the case with conventionally styled enclosures. Solid teak surrounds with a special all-over cellular foam front is used as much for appearance as its ability to pass all audio frequencies without loss. This elegantly designed shelf mounting speaker brings genuine high fidelity within reach of every music lover.
