step response, while the first breakup modes occur way out of the
human hearing range. The imaging precision, the instrument
spatiality, the contours in 3D space, and the microdetail clarity
produced by this tweeter is unmatched.
The sonic character of the Estelon loudspeakers that feature
diamond tweeters is not what you would expect: an overly “brilliant”
or “hard-as-diamond” sound, which in most cases is caused by a high
amount of harmonic distortion. In our loudspeakers, through the
properly designed crossover, the diamond tweeters simply disappear,
and only the music remains. It is like being present at a live concert
where one can hear the instruments but not the speakers
reproducing the sound. The Estelon Diamond loudspeakers offer a
new way of relaxed listening, and you get to sense all the details that
you have never heard before on your old records and digital music.
You will be immersed in acoustical spaces with a “live” 3D presence
that was never there before.
Each drive unit is “broken-in” by running an audio signal
through them for several hours before selecting matching drivers for
each pair of speakers. When the drivers are in matching pairs, another
“break-in” with an audio signal is conducted. Finally, drivers are fitted
into the finished cabinet for individual tuning.
1.2.3. Crossovers
The Estelon X Diamond Mk II has a finely tuned crossover. It
is second-order, allowing it to be incredibly fast and with perfect
phase transition. The crossover point of the tweeter and mid-woofer is
at 1.9kHz and between the mid-woofer and woofer at 85Hz. The
crossovers are mounted in a special isolated chamber to reduce the
microphonic effect and vibration influence.
