TAD Reference One Owner’s Manual

 

TAD History

 

Founded in 1975, Technical Audio Devices (TAD) 
has continued to stand at the frontier of cutting-edge 
sound technology, maintaining a well-established 
tradition of creating high performance speakers for 
professional use. TAD products are designed, crafted, 
and produced with strict adherence to the most 
rigorous standards demanded by musicians and 
professional audio-system designers around the world.

TAD loudspeaker components are found in studio 
monitors, sound reinforcement systems, public 
address and concert hall speakers, cinema theater 
audio systems, and many other applications that 
require the highest-quality sound reproduction.

With this high standard of quality, world-class 
recording studios rely on TAD components for 
original recordings and digital remastering of audio 
performances. In recent years, TAD has met the 
demand for high-quality home audio speakers by 
delivering world class audio components that carry the 
TAD pedigree into the home.

 

TAD Reference One Description

 

The TAD Reference One loudspeaker is a 
breakthrough product for the home audio market, 
and represents the culmination of over 30 years 
experience in developing class-leading loudspeakers 
for the professional studio monitoring environment. 
Central to the performance of the TAD Reference 
One loudspeaker is the Coherent Source Transducer 
(CST), a concentric unit featuring TAD’s unique 
beryllium-diaphragm design. Beryllium is used for 
both the tweeter dome and the midrange cone, to 
provide a point source radiator covering the frequency 
range from 250 Hz to 100 kHz. 

The CST is supplemented by dual 25 cm (10 in.) bass 
drivers enclosed in structurally inert cabinet. The 
result is a very wide-band, resonance-free monitor 
loudspeaker of the highest quality.
