      Cup Diameter

      The Denis Wick 5ABL has a cup diameter of 25.73 mm compared to 25.40 mm on the Monette Unity TS6 — a difference of +0.33 mm. A wider cup generally produces a fuller, darker tone but requires more air support.

      Cup Depth

      Throat Diameter

      The Denis Wick 5ABL has a wider throat (7.00 mm vs 6.63 mm). A wider throat allows more air through, increasing volume and projection but reducing resistance.
