From Graham

The BBC aimed the LS3/1 at outside broadcast work. Its drivers are close to those in the LS5/1 studio monitor, but the smaller cabinet is a sealed infinite baffle, which suits a large bass driver in a small box better than a port. The dual tweeters sit co-axially, unique among the BBC designs.
