AERIAL ACOUSTICS
MODEL 10T LOUDSPEAKER
The exceptional beauty of the Model 10T surpasses conventional systems through its exacting design, meticulous construction, and the unusually high quality of its cabinets, networks, and drivers.
Independently optimized enclosures provide outstanding performance that is difficult to achieve in single cabinet systems. Cast from dense Novalith Stone Composite, the heavy, optimally-shaped head of the Model 10T is acoustically inert. In addition, very little baffle remains around the drivers. The substantial bass enclosure has sturdy 1" and 2" inch thick walls with extensive internal bracing.
The midrange driver uses two Kevlar cones coupled with epoxy for strength and damping. The woofer cone is a rigid, damped fiber bilaminate. Both drivers have cast frames, large magnets, and long linear travels. The titanium tweeter is rear loaded by a large, multi-vented chamber. All drivers have low distortion, high power handling, and linearity well beyond their ranges of use.
Seamless amplitude and phase integration are provided by precision networks made with high-quality components including polypropylene capacitors, air-core coils, nickle-steel cores, high quality cable, 2 glass-fiber circuit boards, and gold-plated bi-wire terminals.
System performance is exceptionally accurate and natural, with excellent transparency, detail, dynamics, and imaging. Low bass has outstanding authority, control, and extension. Upper bass is well defined and articulate. Midrange is clear, open, and extremely natural. Treble is delicate, beautifully detailed, and airy without hardness. The system is well-integrated top-to-bottom, with good transient accuracy and vivid 3-dimensional imaging.
The result is a musical experience that is fully captivating.
