MUSIC ON A GRAND SCALE - THE IMPORTANCE OF LOW FREQUENCIES


We are totally dedicated to reproducing the full grandeur of the musical performance or DVD. No-one who has ever heard (and felt) deep, accurate bass can accept anything less.  We use a system which gives perceivable output well below 20 Hz, without the artificial resonance or distortion associated with all box loudspeakers.

All  2 channel systems have bass supplied by two pairs of bass speakers per channel. The reason for this is because we do not use either bass reflex or sealed box loading to manipulate the resonance of the speaker, and artificially raise bass output.. By doubling the number of drive units in the low frequency area, we double the efficiency, and dramatically reduce the load on each woofer. This results in cleaner bass, less compression, and less distortion. 

We create bass in your living room by using the cavity of your exterior walls as a chamber. Most houses built since the 1920ʼs have cavity exterior walls, with a cavity of between 2-3 inches in depth. By using the cavity, the bass cone is allowed to move as if in free air, with no resistance to its movement, and no increase in either the frequency or magnitude of its resonance.. We also use room boundaries to re-inforce the bass still further. The result is very deep, clear , powerful bass, down to below audibility.

 All of the drive units used are adapted to work perfectly in the cavity wall environment. The drive units will be covered with cloth grilles, and the bass units situated low down in the wall  to blend in perfectly with your decor.  

THE OPEN BAFFLE MID RANGE

Totally separated by feet of brick from the bass unit, the mid range is mounted directly into the brick wall and vents into the rear cavity of the wall so that rear energy is ʻʼlostʼʼ in the cavity enclosure, rather than reflected back to the cone by a closed box. The result is a transparency that cannot be matched by conventional box loudspeakers. The gain of the solidity of brick wall mounting, and the absence of rear energy reflected back through the cone, creates almost ideal conditions for mid range purity and clarity.

THE BRICK MOUNTED TWEETER

The high frequency unit also benefits from brick mounting, close to but totally isolated from the mid range unit giving outstanding clarity of sound and stunning transient performance. All the high frequency units used are sealed rear chamber which effectively absorbs rear radiation and provides optimum damping for the dome unit. More to the point however, the high frequencies are totally isolated from vibration transmitted via the normal loudspeaker baffle.
