Whitepaper

All crossover components are of highly reliable audio grade quality. Unfortunately not

always seen in this price range, all components are fastened with glue and cable ties

to the circuit board for a highly stable mechanical construction. The component

layout is optimized by ear to minimize component crosstalk. As an example, the

inductors are individually positioned away from each other and their axes differ to

avoid crosstalk between the electrical fields surrounding the inductors. The result is

more clean and natural sound.

Binding Posts

To shorten the signal path, the crossover is mounted directly on the binding posts.

The gold plated binding posts accept bare speaker cable ends as well as 4mm

banana plugs. The surfaces of the binding posts are covered with transparent

polymer which will prevent contact with conducting parts other than the speaker

cables.

Cabinets

All the cabinets in the LEKTOR

Series are made of Medium Density Fiber board

(MDF) for optimal strength and suppression of resonances in the cabinet structure.

The rear part of the cabinet is wrapped with furniture grade laminate to give the

speakers an exclusive visual appearance. The baffles are made of thick MDF-board

with CNC-milled cutouts for drivers, bass reflex ports and snap locks for the grilles.

The baffles are sanded, primed and coated with an ultra matt dark gray lacquer to

ensure a long lasting attractive visual appearance.

All LEKTOR

speakers are bass reflex designs. In our experience a well designed

bass reflex design has a more musical way of reproducing music than other design

principles. Normally the bass reflex design principle is used to lower the cutoff

frequency – this is done by adding the sound output from the bass reflex port with the

output from the woofer. In the LEKTOR

speakers (and all other DALI bass reflex

designs), the objective of adding bass reflex ports is to add a subtle bass output from

the bass reflex ports and be able to thoroughly phase align the bass output with the

rest of the speaker output - the latter is what matters the most. By designing the bass

reflex port so that the response is phase aligned, integrity way up in the mid

frequencies will be coherent and natural. Also the soundstage will significantly

improve by tuning the bass reflex ports for optimum timing (and not maximum

output).
