The CS.5
is a Two-way ported, floor-standing loudspeaker offering high performance in a
compact, easy-to-place cabinet and at an entry-level price. Completely time and
phase coherent, the CS.5 provides a dimension of clarity and realism that
conventional speakers in its price class cannot achieve, making it ideal for
both music and video sound.
The CS.5
incorporates many of the same design techniques used in other Thiel, speakers
to achieve our goal of accurate musical reproduction in all areas of
performance. The drivers are positioned along a sloping front baffle for
correct time alignment, and the crossover is designed to provide phase accurate
transitions between the drivers. These two design features alone result in an
unusually high level of spatial and transient fidelity for a speaker of this
price. A specially shaped grillboard decreases diffraction for more open sound,
and the heavy cabinet construction reduces unwanted vibration to improve
clarity and imaging.
Quality
construction and materials.
The CS.5
uses the same quality materials as the more expensive Thiel models - a die cast
magnesium woofer chassis, polypropylene or polystyrene capacitors, and rigid
1-inch thick cabinet walls.
The
1-inch metal dome tweeter uses a large magnet, vented pole, and reinforced rear
chamber to allow a low resonance frequency and a wide bandwidth. The result is
high frequency reproduction of great clarity and realism.
Woofer
The
Thiel-designed 6,5-inch, treated paper cone woofer incorporates the same short
coil/long gap motor design as other Thiel woofers for low distortion, very good
midrange performance, and clean bass response. The woofer is magnetically
shielded to prevent video image distortion.
