Commentary
This is a speaker system that follows the concept of A1 and further enhances the power and expressive power of music.
Two 17.5 cm cone type woofers are installed in the lower range to increase the area of the diaphragm.
The diaphragm uses polypropylene cone mixed with mica by the newly developed injection molding method. This manufacturing method can increase the strength around the voice coil, suppress resonance caused by the bell phenomenon, and expand the dynamic range and reduce distortion.
A 2.5 cm hard dome type tweeter is installed in the high range.
A titanium dome has been adopted for the diaphragm, and the split vibration that causes the muddy sound and the sharpness of the ears is solved by utilizing Celestion's unique laser analysis method.
In addition, a Faraday ring is used in the magnetic circuit to reduce distortion and improve efficiency over a wide range.
In addition, the shape of the aluminum die-cast plate is designed to improve the orientation of the instrument.
Each unit uses an aluminum die-cast in which the frame and face plate are integrally molded.
Two woofers are arranged above and below the tweeter. By adopting the shape of aluminum die-cast face plate and the layout with units as close as possible, more accurate positional relationship is achieved.
In addition, the cabinet has a high quality real wood finish for natural sounding, and the four vertical corners are made of the same solid board with rounded edges.
It uses a terminal for bi-wiring.
Spikes and insulators are included.
The cabinet is managed from the time of cutting out the wood so that the wood grain is a pair of left and right, and each pair is paired.
Also, there were 2 kinds of finishes, cherry wood and Santos Rosewood.
