The ADS L730 3-Way
Loudspeaker System
Although similar to
its predecessor, the much acclaimed ADS L630, the L730 merits a new model
designation because of major component changes and performance improvement. The
all-new L730 is, arguably, one of the most significant advances in bookshelf
speaker design in recent history. It produces surprisingly deep, tight bass for
a speaker of it size thanks to a new 10" ADS Stifflite woofer. A new
midrange driver delivers uncanny accuracy in reproducing critical human voice.
It is unexcelled in open, clean, and airy reproduction of highs, attributes
associated with the state-of-the-art. ADS 3/4-inch soft-dome tweeter. A direct
outgrowth of ADS' research and development of monitor spaekers for digital
recording sessions, the l730 naturally provides excellent stereo imaging and
unusually wide dynamic range.
Features
New 10-inch ADS
Stifflite woofer has tapered "honeycomb" cone construction for high
internal damping, optimum mass/stiffness characteristics, and low total moving
mass; bass is deep , yet tight and highly controlled; extra-long-excursion
design and high-temperature voice coil ensures superb linearity, wide dynamic range, and high power-handling.
New 1½ inch ADS acoustic suspension soft-dome
midrange driver takes advantage of most recent materials technology and
precision manufacturing techniques; driver has unprecedented low distortion,
low coloration and wide dynamic range.
The proven ADS
3/4-inch acoustic suspension soft-dome tweeter delivers unmatched
high-frequency performance; smoothness, extension, and dispersion are second to
none; very high force/mass ratio ensures excellent damping and transient
response, and contributes to efficiency and low distortion; ADS' unique
single-layer, high-thermal-conductivity metal voice coil ensures high
power-handling capability for wide dynamic range.
Precision crossover
network seamlessly matches driver outputs with minimal distortion and power
loss; highest guality network components ensure stable, reliable performance
over years of use.
Choice of oak or
walnut cabinet with radiused edges and soild oak/walnut edge reinforcements.
New acoustically
transparent grill lends distinctive appearance while eliminating grill-frame
structure for reduced difraction and improved dispersion.
New user-interface
panel features heavy-duty binding-post connectors and readily accessible
tweeter fuse with built-in spare.
