Thiel CS3.7
Overview
|
The CS3.7 is designer Jim Thiel’s passion realized. This revolutionary design delivers an unprecedented purity of sound for the most realistic sound reproduction possible. Incorporating all newly developed drivers and cabinet, the CS3.7 is an engineering marvel that achieves a level of performance not available before at any price. Hear the CS3.7...and be Amazed.
The CS3.7's drivers represent state-of-the art technology and engineering. Unique short coil/long gap motor systems dramatically reduce distortion; very rigid aluminum diaphragms eliiminate resonance coloration for exceptionally uniform frequency response; long excursion motor structures provide greater output capability for realistically high volume levels; and copper rings are are used for magnetic field stability to greatly reduce distortion from secondary effects.
The CS3.7 crossover is a true first order acoustic type that provides the utmost in spatial and depth imaging performance as well as overall realism. This is the only type of crossover that provides complete accuracy of amplitude, phase, time, and energy, and therefore the only type that does not distort the musical waveform. Proper application of this gradual-transition type of crossover requires the use of more expensive drivers with wider frequency ranges than are required for use with common quick-transition crossovers but the benefits also include improved uniformity of the speaker's output in all directions.
The CS3.7 crossover is meticulously engineered to achieve extreme tonal neutrality and is constructed with extensive use of polypropylene and custom polystyrene capacitors.
The cabinet plays an enormously important role in the quality of music reproduction and so the engineering of the CS3.7’s cabinet incorporates several innovations that contribute to the speaker’s stunning clarity, its utter tonal neutrality and its exceptionally realistic imaging.
