STRADIVARI SPEAKERS
PRODUCT CONCEPT & DESCRIPTION
Concept
Because of Cello's work with major record companies and
mastering laboratories, we know that stability (no performance
drift), reliability (no down time), and flexibility (ability to play
all kinds of music) are essential qualities for professional
monitor speakers. Yet, speakers having these attributes
generally lack natural tonal qualities. Studio engineers have
been forced to live with such speakers because they cannot
accept the power handling limitations and other problems of
more sonically refined speakers. At the same time, in order to
enjoy more natural tonal qualities, music lovers at home have
been forced to accept limitations in stability, power handling,
dynamic range and reliability. The Strad series is a solution for
both studio professionals and home listeners who want it all.
Construction
All Strad models are designed and built with the same high
level of quality, construction and component parameters. With
design considerations for cabinet size and driver array, the
hand-finished drivers, crossover boards, wiring and other
materials used in all Strad products are of the same high level of
quality, construction and component requirements and
parameters. The difference between them is the height of the
cabinet and the number of drivers and crossover boards. A
comparison can be made to string instruments and pianos,
which are made with the same quality but are available in
various sizes for different requirements.
Strad models feature a vertical in-line array of mid and high
frequency drivers on a relatively narrow front panel. On each
floor standing model cabinet this front panel is angled in at 15
degrees toward the listening position, so the sides of the speaker
stay parallel to side and rear walls, while the face is positioned
at the correct angle for optimum performance.
Heavy duty brass bolts are provided for tri-wired speaker
connections. Special harnesses of Cello Strings 3 Litz speaker
cable are recommended for termination to the power
amplifier(s).
