WHERE BEAUTY MEETS SUPERIOR SOUND
The TAD-R1TXLTD comes in an upgraded, sturdier enclosure finished in deep, elegant Santa Maria aquamarine (藍色： Aiiro in Japanese). As a limited edition of the critically acclaimed Reference One TX (TAD-R1TX) top-of-the-line speaker system, it features a host of additional refinements and enhancements. Only 25 pairs will be available worldwide, each built to order.
TAD COLLABORATES WITH TENDO MOKKO IN CRAFTING THE ENCLOSURE
Tendo Mokko is one of the most prominent manufacturers of luxury furniture in Japan, established in Tendo, Yamagata Prefecture, in 1940. The company has been creating a series of highly acclaimed pieces of furniture, including works with globally renowned designers and architects such as Sori Yanagi and Kenzo Tange, respectively.
After 5 years of collaborative development on the TAD-R1TX enclosure, through their skillful techniques of artisan craftsmanship, we’ve elevated the supreme functional beauty to yet another level.
UPGRADED SILENT* ENCLOSURE
The enclosure of the TAD-R1TXLTD is made of laminated hybrid materials. Its SILENT* Enclosure features sturdy transverse bulkheads clad with thick panels, combining the best of a frame structure and a monocoque structure to maximize the enclosure’s static and dynamic strengths, as well as its vibration-dampening characteristics. A 15-mm thick, 12 kg aluminum base was added to the base that supports the bass-reflex port tube and the enclosure. This was intended to lower the center of gravity of the entire speaker system to deliver more powerful bass. The aluminum base is finished with Aurelia gold color that matches that of the driver’s trim ring.
*SILENT: Structurally Inert Laminated Enclosure Technology
REDESIGNED SPIKES AND SPIKE HOLDERS
A set of redesigned three spikes supports the massive weight of the speaker system and helps it achieve more condensed and energetic audio reproduction with spatial nuance of the music retained intact. The pointed tip of the spike is made of super-hard, wear-resistant special alloy steel with little elastic displacement to support the 162 kg weight of the speaker and bring out the best from it. The newly developed matching spike holder employs a hybrid vibration-dampening structure that uses the combination of hard and soft materials, and uses a special alloy where the spike tip sits. The combination of large spikes and spike holders gives the speaker a more stylish look and yet another sign of its specialty status.
SPECIAL SOUND-TUNING
To bring out the best of the SILENT Enclosure with enhanced static and dynamic strengths and vibration-dampening characteristics, we perform special sound-tuning of the TAD-R1TXLTD. The result is outstanding audio performance expected of the limited-edition, top-of-the-line speaker system in the Reference Series.
