The Art of Speed - Whise 1500 HD-A
®
loudspeaker
Because the electrostatic diaphragm has an ultra-low mass, it can respond with
extraordinary speed, and react precisely to every change and nuance present in
an audio signal, whether live or recorded. No electromagnetic cone speaker is as
fast as an electrostatic and the Whise 1500 HD-A
®
loudspeaker is the one of the
fastest loudspeakers in the market today.
What about other electrostatic loudspeakers? Independent tests using CSD
waterfall techniques to analyse spectral decay of an impulse signal were applied
resulting in a 5 times faster than those considered to be competitors to the Whise
1500 HD-A
®
loudspeaker, across the entire frequency range. This is not an
imperceptible difference; the quality increase is apparent resulting in a cleaner,
clearer sound and unparalleled audio. Take full advantage of the higher bit
stream rates of the latest high definition sources.
Imaging
The Whise 1500 HD-A
®
loudspeakers major advantage is greatly improved
imaging. It provides a sound stage that is not confined by the physical position of
the speakers in the room and, depending on the recording, presents a larger
image than the room the speakers are in. That startling sound image is retained
even when moving around the room.
Other electrostatic loudspeakers do their best to simulate a point-source. This
has the effect of destroying most of the advantages that electrostatic sound
provides. The sound stage collapses, and there are artificial delays introduced
into the signal, which in turn affect the clarity of the original recording, and reduce
accuracy. The Whise 1500 HD-A
®
loudspeaker utilises an entirely flat array
without any adverse effect on dispersion from the physical shape of the array.
