Arcam Two -
Audio Monitor Loudspeakers
The Arcam
series of loudspeakers from A&R Cambridge are well engineered moving coil
loudspeakers which provide excellent sound quality at affordable prices. They
qre the result of several years of intensive research by A&R's designers
into ways of achieving outstanding musical fidelity from compact sensibly
priced speaker system
Design and
Construction
All three
loudspeakers are classic UK two way designs, using selected tweeters and
A&R designed plastic coned bass drivers. These are otimally matched to rear
ported (reflex) loaded cabinets, solidly constructed from high density 18 mm
board with ultra rigid 19 mm "Medite" front baffles. The larger
cabinets are heavily cross braced and damped,, to minimise cabinet resonances.
The Arcam Two+ are finished in quality real wood veneers (with black as a
no-cost option) the compact. All models have attractive removable black
reticulated foam grilles of high acoustic transparency.
Each speaker
uses an eight element close tolerance crossover network which has been designed
handle high power levels without saturation or overheating. The crossovers make
use of audiophile quality components wherever appropriate, including very
generously sized,, low loss inductors,, plastic film capacitors and metal oxide
resistors. The printed circuit (pcb) layout of each crossover network closely
approximates to that of the classic "hard wired" design.
In the case
of the Arcam Two+ models,, the pcb has also been designed to permit
bi-wiring, with the treble and bass section brought out to separate pairs of
terminals on the speakers back panels.
