Marantz Imperial 9 speakers

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.

Marantz Imperial 9 speakers

Mirror imaging is a unique Marantz attraction not found elsewhere. It is achieved by placing the mid-range and tweeter array of both speaker systems in a mirrored position (either both inside or outside of the speaker). By doing this, the stereo image and overall dispersion is exactly symmetrical giving you the most precise stereo sound and separation possible. The Imperial 9 and 8 may be used in the vertical or horizontal position. And mirror imaging is made easy, since the Imperial 8 is designed with a rotatable array, and the Imperial 9 is designed symmetrically. Mirror imaging, a sound feature that speaks for itself.
