Speakers
The System 1 is a stand mount 2 way dynamic speaker. The System 1 includes the dedicated tuned isolation stands, and are essential to maximise the performance of the speaker system in roomSolid wood cabinets, crafted from sustainable timbers are used exclusively.
Select Australian timbers available such as :
- Ironbark,
- Spotted Gum ,
- Tasmanian Oak,
- Bamboo and
- Merbau
The grilles are magnetically fastened, and are acoustically transparent. You may choose to listen to the speakers with or without the grilles.
Design Goals
- Flat frequency response in room.
- Smooth off axis response
- Linear phase response
- Phase and amplitude correct crossover integration
- Optimum listening area and minimizing boundary reflection anomalies
- Minimal enclosure energy storage
- Isolation from room feedback and structural vibration
- High power handling
- Smooth impedance curve and able to be driven by both Tube and solid-state electronics
