Pioneer's method of mounting the drivers on a baffle made from stiff, non-resonant molded polymer
material, then mounting that baffle to the front of the speaker using a rubber gasket to "float" it. The
company's engineers say this isolates the speaker cabinet from vibrations in the speaker drivers
themselves, which should reduce sonic coloration caused by cabinet vibration.
