Description

Spirit 6 – Dynamic voice reproduction by excellence

To only reduce the Spirit 6 to its extraordinary abilities as center speaker does not cover the whole spectrum which this exceptional allround talent is able to deliver. Spirit 6 was constructed as center speaker in high class multichannel setups but can also be used as front- or surround speaker. Due to the ultimately precise silk dome tweeter which is surrounded by two mid/bass drivers in D’Appolito arrangement, Spirit 6 is capable to reproduce any signal in a natural and accurate way. Even the bass is deeper and more powerful than expected which makes this speaker extremely flexible in every way.

Drivers

Drivers

The higher frequencies are reproduced by an excellent 25mm slik dome tweeter in waveguide execution. The waveguide optimizes the dispersion pattern and minimizes the distortions by increasing the efficiency. Both factors contribute to the precise and dynamic sound reproduction of Spirit 6. The 5 1/2″ mid/bass drivers in c-cone sandwich construction are presented in D’Appolito arrangement to ensure a perfect radiation for music and film enjoyment. In combination with the tweeter, they provide highest dynamics and a nearly perfect impulse response.

Sound Tuning

Sound Tuning

The backside of the Spirit 6 offers a jumper which can be used to adjust the tweeter level to the prevailing room acoustics and the personal preferences. Furthermore it is possible to use the attached plugs to close the bass reflex ports in order to alter the basic characteristics of the speaker. The lower boundary frequency can be adjusted this way. These room tuning possibilities are also very helpful when Spirit 6 is used directly on or near a wall.

Cabinet

Cabinet

In order to maintain highest precision also in the deepest bass, the front baffle of Spirit 6 was made from 25mm MDF. The side walls are also made from MDF and are 18mm thick. This solid construction is minimizing any internal resonances together with the large amount of damping material which is brought in. Thus the drivers are able to work under best circumstances and play even deep sound with highest dynamics and minimum distortions.

Surface

Surface

Spirit 6 is lacquered in an ornate multilayer paint which is available in matte black and matte white. Both variants are perfectly polished and contribute to the amazing look of the speaker. In combination with the classic yet modern design, the chosen colours leave an ultimate high-quality impression.

Terminal

Terminal

The gold plated screw terminal guarantees an optimum lock for your speaker cables. Thus a safe connection and best signal transmission can be ensured. In addition the terminal contains the jumper for the adjustment of the tweeter.

Front Cover

Front Cover

The pluggable cover protects the drivers on the one hand from dust and on the other from possible damage. To ensure perfect sound transmisssion, the cover is sound transparent and does not have any influence on the sound of the speaker.
