AviaTrix
| MTM and MT designs offered in various configurations for Music and Home Theater Applications |
Design Goals:
The AviaTrix designs were intended to be a low cost, high sound quality, dedicated
HT system. My partner in crime Wayne Wendel and I visualized an upscale
iteration similar to the TriTrix for a slight additional cost. In my opinion, the drivers
in the AviaTrix have enabled us to meet these goals with the additional attribute of
being quite impressive as a music only speaker system as well.

As most HT uses require the speakers pushed back near
the walls in their applications, a minor crossover
change allows near wall and far wall specific
applications.
The designs include a mass loaded transmission line
floor stander, and small sealed variants suitable for
mains, surrounds, and as a center channel.
All versions share a similar crossover topology and near
identical voicings.
Like the TriTrix, the MTM design was specifically
optimized for use as a center channel with excellent off
axis response when used in the horizontal axis.
