Description
The Verity Audio LAKMÉ loudspeaker will give outstanding results with
a wide variety of equipment. They have been designed to offer outs-
tanding performance in moderate size rooms. Their design renders
a highly accurate and focused image, an amazing blend of lightning
speed and sweetness as well as a cathedral soundstage.
LAKMÉ
The LAKMÉ is a 3-way system that integrates one woofer drivers wor-
king in parallel with two passive radiators increasing the LAKMÉ overall
dynamic range and allowing to reproduce low frequencies; a proprie-
tary wide-bandwitdth midrange transducer covering the most critical
human ear frequency spectrum; and a soft ring-dome tweeter capable
of extended frequency range.
The crossover used in your LAKMÉ com-
bines 1st. order slopes between the woofer and midrange units and
3rd. order slopes between the mids and high frequency units.
Just like all Verity Audio loudspeakers, The LAKMÉ works with the room
reinforcement characteristics to produce quick and solid bass perfor-
mances. Despite its small size, the LAKMÉ loudspeaker provides a low
frequency extension down to a deep 35 Hz.
The midrange, woofer and passivie radiators have been optimized for
maximum cone rigidity without breakup resonance. These special units
are offering a low level of distortion, extended dynamics range, high-
power handling, and simple dividing network.
The tweeter has been specifically designed to give extended, natural
and resonance free reproduction of the harmonic content of all musical
instruments. These units have been integrated with a very carefully
designed crossover that allows each driver to deliver its full potential.
Moreover, all components used are carefully computer-matched and
indexed to enable optimum sound staging performance.
