Overview & Specifications
The Signature 503 is, as a shelf-top speaker, the most compact representative of the new 500 range. As a three-way system, it combines the hi-res dual tweeter module with a 17 cm bass-midrange unit. It unites all this in a footprint smaller than an A4 sheet of paper and a height of 365 mm. The sturdy MDF housing is available in two elegant finishes: black ash or mocca. It is just as practical as a compact stereo solution as it is when using it as a surround sound speaker in a home cinema set-up. Thanks to identical components like the front panel systems, it delivers an absolutely homogeneous soundscape. The Signature 503 is the best proof that perfect sound does not necessarily require huge speakers.
