#Audionote 2 mac drivers#
The drivers are selected and paired before they are matched to the crossover in the same process as the AN-K and AN-J. The cabinet is designed in such a way that it augments and supports the drivers in their task, not unlike the box of a guitar. The cabinet is lightly braced and little internal damping is used.
The AN-E is a two-way, ported enclosure, with a carefully designed cabinet which is shaped to enhance and aid driver dispersion on one hand, and bass output on the other. The extremely high efficiency is retained well over the bandwidth, and makes the AN-E very suited to the high quality, low-power triode amplifiers that will form the future of music reproduction, once our obsession with power and specifications is generally recognized as folly. The AN-E must be the most efficient wide band speaker of moderate size on the market, with an effective bandwidth from 18 Hz to 23 kHz at -6 dB, efficiency better than 95 dB/m and a dynamic headroom above 108 dB. Each speaker's crossover is adjusted to as closely as possible resemble a "master" speaker's curve.
#Audionote 2 mac full#
Regardless of model, each of our loudspeaker pairs are very closely matched, to within 0.2 dB of each other over the full bandwidth, this is done under dynamic conditions using a unique method of testing developed by ourselves. You will therefore find that our loudspeakers are capable of serious in-room bass performance, without creating the boom and room resonance normally encountered with wideband loudspeakers. Every aspect of cabinet, drivers and crossover are carefully matched in much the same manner that a violin maker crafts a fine musical instrument.Īll Audio Note loudspeaker models are two-way, stand mounted and are designed for real room conditions, rather than the more commonly used anachoic close field condition.
Audio Note design loudspeakers to imitate real musical instruments. Hi-fi and music are not the same and many designers fall prey to the "cannons and fireworks" of special effects. Spatial effects become distinctly "hi-fi" and not faithful to real musical presentation. This is due to peaky response and loss of low level information. Speakers with narrow baffles demonstrate a characteristic nasality and thinness in the critical vocal region with unrealistic/unnatural image placement. Smaller, narrow baffles, like those found in most of today's "fashion victim" designs currently masquerading as quality loudspeakers achieve nothing other than to compromise midrange frequency and tonal colourations. The front baffle dimensions and depth of the cabinet are an integral part of the wave launch support and controlled defraction characteristics pioneered by Peter Snell in the 1970's. The pedestrian looks of the Audio Note loudspeakers are well calculated.
