The Audiophile’s Reference Loudspeakers
The TAD Reference One builds on the reputation of the famous TAD-Model-1, which
gained accolades with professional sound engineers and the critical audio press
alike.The Reference One breaks new
ground by delivering even greater musicality and unmatched build
quality.
Concentric
midrange cone and tweeter dome
The Coherent Source Transducer (CST) is the key to the sonic success
of every TAD loudspeaker. Covering the frequency range from 250 Hz
to 100 kHz, it employs a midrange cone and tweeter dome configured
concentrically.
A concentric solution radiates
both upper and critical mid-frequencies from a single point source,
and results in rock-solid imaging and a seamless soundstage,
essential to accurate sound reproduction.
Ultra-rigid metal materials
Both the midrange cone and tweeter dome of the CST are made from the
lightest and most rigid metal applicable— the rare element beryllium—offering
strength and damping characteristics unequalled by any other
diaphragm material.
TAD is the only speaker to
employ vapor deposition. Created under vacuum, the pure crystalline
structure of TAD beryllium is audibly superior to other drivers.
Contributing to the purity of
sound is a crossover network using the finest custom manufactured
components, built on glass-epoxy PCBs housed in a dedicated,
mechanically isolated compartment apart from transducers.
Highest-quality binding posts
allow the Reference One to be bi-wired or bi-amplified to achieve
the purest possible sound.
Solid structure
A pair of proprietary 10-inch bass drivers reproduces frequencies
from below 25 Hz to 250 Hz with stunning authority.
Cones are a tri-laminate of
woven aramid fibers sandwiching a foamed acrylic core, resulting in
transducers possessing enormous rigidity and speed that reproduce
the very loudest bass passages without distortion.
Bass drivers are enclosed
within a thick multilaminate structure, engineered to eliminate
standing waves and resonances through careful cabinet design and
construction.
ISO-Drive technology
mechanically isolates the CST driver within a dedicated enclosure,
reducing transfer of mechanical energy that can smear imaging and
detail.
The teardrop shape of the
Reference One minimizes front baffle- and rear-diffraction anomalies,
while its 330-pound mass contributes to the authority and weight of
bass fundamentals that can only be achieved through such
uncompromising design.
