The bass is controlled and cohesive, with moderate extension and just the right amount of body. Ideal for genres like acoustic, jazz, and classical. The midrange is where the SELECT 300B truly excels. Rich, full-bodied tonal character with a touch of warmth. Vocals are especially well rendered, from baritone to soprano. The treble delivers the characteristic smoothness of the 300B, with layered extension and a natural sense of sparkle. A soft warmth in the upper register gives strings and female vocals a refined presence.
