CST Mounting Construction
The CST driver is mounted into an extremely rigid enclosure that
features a baffle specially formed to optimize the sound emitted
from the driver.
To further enhance the performance, ISO-Drive technology is
used to mechanically isolate the CST driver from its cabinet.
This greatly reduces the mechanical energy that is the source for
enclosure vibration, resulting in reduced delayed resonances and
improved resolution of fine detail.
Bass Enclosure Construction
The enclosure of the TAD Compact Reference’s bass driver
features a frame of 21 mm (0.9 in.) thick laminated birch plywood
supported by a CNC processed plywood back board “spine” up to
30 mm (1.2 in.) thick, clad with 65 mm (2.6 in.) curved side panels
created by high-frequency heating.
The bass reflex port was modeled after the design concept of the
TAD compression driver and horn, resulting in the reduction of
wind noise for clear, deep bass.
The 46 kg (101.4 lb) mass of this system produces a
correspondingly powerful bass sound that is both clean and
subtle. The teardrop-shape both reduces sound diffraction,
allowing for excellent acoustics, and also serves to eliminate
unnecessary resonance and internal standing waves.
Crossover Networks
The crossover networks use only the finest components. Air cored
coils, noninductive resistors, and film capacitors in the signal
path are all carefully chosen and optimized for the CST driver to
provide the greatest transparency to the signal.
The bass driver uses laminated steel-core inductors for highpower
handling and low saturation.
All components are built on high-grade, glass-epoxy, printed
circuit boards with thick copper traces to ensure stability and
repeatability of performance.
Enclosure Finish
The enclosure features rare, elegant natural wood that is treated
with a transparent finish. Its surface has a beautifully polished
mirrored finish, the result of the meticulous, painstaking work of
skilled craftsmen.
This product is designed to elicit the full potential of the natural
wood used in its enclosure. Note that the color and pattern of
the wood is slightly different for each unit.
