What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Castle Tay loudspeakers

The Castle Tay has successfully taken over from the best-selling Castle Durham which it replaces. Optimally designed for stand or shelf applications in medium sized room, the Tay delivers a bass impact which belies its size.

Key to this performance is a specially developed version of the latest Castle 130 mm mid/bass driver. A high performance motor system was developed for the Tay by employing a higher power 1,2 Tesla magnet and a special long-throw voice coil wound on a high temperature Kapton former. Critically damped reflex loading with a radiused port ring gives low distortion bass performance of true power and scale.

High frequencies are handled by the highly praised Castle 25 mm soft dome tweeter crossed over through the easy amplifier load of a 2nd/3rd order network. The Tay delivers smooth and extended bass of considerable power and detail.
