Spirit 2 – Thrilling sound from a compact design
Spirit 2 is an on-wall speaker, in a compact, modern design. Due to its manageable size, it integrates perfectly into your living area.
Despite the compact sized cabinet, it’s sound reproducing abilities are astonishing. The silk dome tweeter in waveguide execution ensures transparent and finely detailed heights while the mid/bass driver uses it’s excellent abilities to reproduce voices in a balanced and natural way. So Spirit 2 is not only an excellent choice for fine stereo systems with a soundstage that belies its size, but can also be used as a centre and surround speaker in a multichannel setup. This all round talented speaker masters musicality in every discipline and plays with unexpected gusto.
Drivers
The 25mm silk dome tweeter was customized for the Spirit-series and thus fits perfectly to the mid/bass drivers. Due to the waveguide technology, the dispersion pattern, as well as efficiency were optimized. The 5 1/2″ mid/bass driver originates also from the XTZ development center. These High Quality Drive Units contribute to the excellent vocal reproduction, due to their outstanding stiffness-weight ratio, which is achieved by using a c-cone sandwich membrane, enabling a near perfect impulse response. Thus both the vocal reproduction and overall musical reproduction are very natural and accurate.
Sound Tuning
On the Rear Panel of Spirit 2 there is a jumper located which can be used to adjust the tweeter level to the prevailing room acoustics and the personal preferences. This room tuning possiblity is helpful especially in modern reverberant surroundings since the tweeter level can be reduced and thus create a more balanced sound.
Cabinet
Even though Spirit 2 is diminutive in size, the cabinet is constructed with a 25mm front panel and 18mm side and rear panels, all made from MDF. Together with the additional internal bracing, this provides a very solid and inert cabinet construction, hence the high weight and the massive impression of the speaker. To further minimize the already reduced internal resonances, a large amount of internal damping material is also utilized. Without these resonances, Spirit 2 plays with highest precision and accuracy.
Surface
Spirit 2 cabinets are painted with a perfectly finished multi-layer paint which make the speakers aesthetically appealing in a domestic environment.
Spirit 2 is available in matt black as well as matt white. In combination with the classical yet modern construction, it is easy to integrate Spirit 2 in basically every living area.
Speaker Terminals
The gold plated screw terminals guarantee an optimum connection for your speaker cables (4mm Banana plugs can also be used).
Thus a safe connection and best signal transmission can be ensured. In addition the terminal contains the jumper for the adjustment of the tweeter output level.
Front Grille
The detachable grille protects the drivers from dust and also from possible damage. To ensure perfect sound transmission, the grille is Acoustically Transparent and does not have any influence on the sound of the speaker.
