ADS L810

 The ADS L810 3-Way Loudspeakers Systems

It is difficult to think of a popular speaker system that has endured as long as the ADS L810 have. It is also difficult to imagine that these two 3-way systems, already refined to the highest degree, can be further improved. But for 1980, the new ADS L810 boast several improvements from the inside out. Now  in  their generation of refinement, the L810 continue to uphold the same standards of sonic performance which have made them two of the most popular bookshelf speaker systems ever produced.

Features

Celebrated ADS dual-woofer/dual-chamber design with new ADS Stifflite woofers for improved bass efficiency and accuracy.

The new 2-inch acoustic suspension soft-dome midrange driver has a stronger magnet assembly for greater linearity,improved efficiency and transient performance, and lower distortion.

The 3/4-inch acoustic suspension soft-dome tweeter boasts the lowest moving mass among drivers of its type (including tweeters which employ esoteric materials, such as beryllium); excellent force/mass ratio assures lightning-fast transients, superb damping, and extremely low distortion; small diaphragm diameter ensures highly uniform dispersion and smooth, airy sound quality.

A newly designed crossover network works in conjunction with the new woofers and midrange to deliver improved linearity, efficiency and less pronounced room-boundary effects.

New cabinets feature radiused edges with soild walnut reinforcement inserts.

New acoustically transparent grill lends a distinctive appearance while eliminating grill-frame structure for reduced diffraction and improved dispersion characteristics.

New user-interface panel features heavy-duty binding-post connectors and readily accessible tweeter fuse with built-in spare.
