True Stereophonic is the built-in multidirectional stereo playback feature, not proof of wireless left/right pairing.","passive_radiator_count":"Two passive radiators. These are unpowered and excluded from the powered-driver table.","frequency_response_min_hz":"Published 65 Hz to 20,000 Hz range. Tolerance and volume mode are not stated.

This is not spatial room calibration.","bluetooth_version":"Maker explicitly publishes Bluetooth 5.3 LE. LE Audio-ready and future Auracast wording do not prove current activation.
