Just bought a Beam. Looking at photos on line, I see two passive radiators on the front. Where is the third one?

Thanks people.

At the back, right of the central ‘cove’ when viewed from the front.

Thanks very much. Figured as much but surprised by the asymmetry. I guess the location of the electronics prevent a matching one on the other side.

Cheers!

Yes, a board occupies the corresponding position on the left, possibly as it needs to dissipate heat out the back. The radiator asymmetry is not relevant considering the wavelengths involved.
