The XB3 passive sub is intended to compliment any one of the BB5 series of monitors within a surround monitoring system.
Much of the driver and cabinet technology are identical to that of the XB2, with upgrades to a 15" Radial? drive unit and larger more substantial cabinet.
As a sub bass unit the XB3 does not have a rival, it is simply the finest studio .1- channel monitor with the credentials to prove it.
