Core Design:
Reference three-way stand-mount loudspeaker engineered to deliver point-source accuracy with exceptional coherence and spatial realism
Compact embodiment of TADβs flagship technologies, designed to reproduce music with lifelike imaging and tonal balance
Bass-reflex enclosure architecture optimized for controlled airflow, low coloration, and extended low-frequency performance
Driver & Transducer System:
Proprietary CST (Coherent Source Transducer) coaxial driver integrates midrange and tweeter into a single acoustic center for phase coherence
Beryllium diaphragm used in both tweeter and midrange for extreme rigidity, low mass, and ultra-wide bandwidth reproduction up to 100 kHz
20 cm (8″) TLCC composite woofer delivers deep, controlled bass with high linearity and low distortion
Frequency Response & Performance:
Wide frequency response from 32 Hz to 100 kHz ensures exceptional extension and harmonic accuracy
Crossover points at 250 Hz and 2 kHz maintain seamless integration across all drivers
Sensitivity of 86 dB with 4 Ξ© impedance supports compatibility with high-quality amplification systems
Cabinet & Isolation Engineering:
SILENT (Structurally Inert Laminated Enclosure Technology) cabinet construction minimizes vibration and resonance for uncolored sound reproduction
ISO drive technology mechanically isolates the CST driver from the enclosure to reduce unwanted energy transfer and improve clarity
Aerodynamic port system reduces turbulence and enhances low-frequency performance
Directivity & Imaging Control:
Point-source driver configuration ensures uniform phase and controlled directivity across a wide frequency range
Consistent dispersion characteristics create stable imaging and a precise, three-dimensional soundstage
Designed to deliver accurate tonal balance both on-axis and off-axis
Power Handling & Dynamics:
Maximum input power of 200 W supports high dynamic range and realistic transient reproduction
High linearity driver system maintains accuracy from low-level detail to large-scale musical passages
Engineered for low distortion and stable performance under demanding conditions
Physical Construction & Dimensions:
Precision-crafted cabinet manufactured in Japan with premium materials and high-end finishing
Dimensions approximately 13.4″ (W) Γ 24.7″ (H) Γ 17.6″ (D)
Weight approximately 101 lbs per speaker ensures stability and vibration control
Performance Engineering:
Coherent point-source design delivers exceptional imaging, transparency, and tonal accuracy
Advanced materials and driver integration provide ultra-low distortion and high resolution across the frequency spectrum
Engineered to reproduce music with lifelike realism, depth, and precise spatial presentation
