Enhanced Speaker System
The integrated stereo sound system features dual 9-watt amplifiers driving two oval speakers housed in a bass reflex enclosure. This enhanced speaker design improves resonance and tonal balance, delivering clear and full-bodied sound suitable for home practice, lessons, and smaller performance environments.
The system provides impressive projection while maintaining the natural character and dynamic range of the instrument's sounds. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
