Concorde

Omhoog

 

 

Three-way floor standing loudspeaker

When designing the Concorde, our main goal was to achieve the widest bandwidth and the most precise transient response, while keeping it user friendly in terms of cabinet size. Listening to the Concorde is, in more ways than one, an unforgettable experience.
The sense of reality it conveys when recreating music is probably its most striking characteristic.
The timbres and their harmonic structure are so truthful and vivid that each instrument is portrayed in the most life-like and natural way. Those who enjoy live music will find them astonishingly familiar, with that feeling of "déjà-vu" springing from their concert hall experience.
Micro-details, that so many designs intentionally bring to the fore give a false impression of transparency, are rendered the way you would really hear them, as part of a wider musical environment.
The squeaking of a chair, the breathing of a performer, whispers, the hall ambiance, each melt intimately into the music to recreate a coherent and global message.
The perfectly designed loading system of its amazing woofer allows the Concorde to go extremely low, and to do so without any cabinet resonance, and without blurring low frequencies. Bass is deep, naturally sweet and bouncy, with remarkable drive.
Its midrange allows timbres to bloom naturally. Fast, with low directivity and a total absence of coloration, exceptionally linear, it portrays in the most accurate yet relaxed way the artistic intentions of the performers. The recording venue is recreated faithfully.
The tweeter adds to an already impressive ensemble. Perfectly in phase with the midrange driver, it allows the treble to shine and to melt smoothly with the rest of the music, recreating a coherent wave front. The strain associated with some tweeters is completely absent from such a design.
The Concorde was, in term of design ,both a challenge and a treat. It portrays music in a way that will amaze concert lovers.
Though they require a reasonably wide room to give the best of themselves, setting up these speakers up is quite easy, thanks to the painstaking attention that went into cabinet damping and decoupling from the floor.
Also, in order to allow them to really shine, and to benefit from their startling dynamics in the low frequencies it is recommended to match them with amplifiers endowed with a high current capability.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


GENERAL DESIGN

Tuned triangular transmission line for the woofer. The midrange driver is encased in a dedicated enclosure, tuned with a second enclosure through an Helmholtz resonator in order to eliminate the main cabinet resonance. Tweeter is de-coupled from the main enclosure. The solid beech base is also decoupled from the enclosure thanks to a highly damped material inserted between the enclosure and the base. Adjustable spikes are provided, as well.
