PHI Cyclops II

PHI Cyclops II

PHI Cyclops II is the model name of a 2-way high-end audio loudspeaker produced by PHI Audio. The Cyclops II is a bi-polar TQWT designed around two 3 inch drive units. There is a minimal first order serial crossover unit fitted between these two drivers, allowing both drivers to function in full-range mode. This arrangement allows extremely realistic imaging and timing from these loudspeaker units. The Cyclops was designed by Jacques van Zyl, and was the first product of PHI Audio.
