Product Datasheet/Brochure

A new ultra-low distortion midrange motor design uses a copper ring embedded into the motor gap to
minimise inductance and variation of inductance with coil position. This lowers the midrange THD and
reduces thermal compression, leading to improved efficiency.
The Uni-Q driver array is fully decoupled to prevent unwanted vibrations from muddying the sound. A
new flexible decoupling chassis is designed to reduce vibration and remove coloration. It ensures that any
vibration generated by the mid and high-frequency motor system is not transmitted to the loudspeaker
cabinet.
A new driver surround is designed to allow longer excursion without causing diffraction and extending
the frequency range of the mid-frequency. Plus, the contours of the dome, midrange horn and surround
are all computer-optimised to ensure a perfectly smooth transition to the cabinet. The patented tangerine
waveguide technology manages the airflow to recreate the wide, even spread of a natural sound field,
dispersing the astonishingly pure high-frequency imaging throughout the room.
The result of these innovations and developments is that this bespoke 12
th
generation Uni-Q with MAT
offers a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible.
Powerful, articulate bass
Blade’s four powerful vented low frequency drivers are perfectly integrated with the 12
th
generation Uni-Q
with MAT to deliver clean, massively extended immaculately controlled bass. In line with the purity of the
original Blade concept, decoupling the voice coil from the diaphragm allows low order crossovers to be used,
for purer, silkier bass response. To avoid exciting the cabinet when playing loud, these drivers are mounted
back-to-back to cancel out kinetic forces that might otherwise colour the output, and each pair occupies a
separate chamber to reduce the need for damping.
In the latest Blade, the crossover design has been enhanced to fine-tune the signal path for maximum clarity.
Plus, two pairs of audiophile-quality WBT connectors allow bi-wiring or bi-amping for lossless transmission.
Performance by design
Blade’s sculptural design is dictated by acoustics. Tapering gracefully from top to bottom and from front to
rear, the gentle front radius presents no discontinuity to mar sound clarity. Made from an ultra-high density
polyurethane composite, the acoustically inert cabinets’ complex parabolic curves are cleverly engineered to
eliminate standing waves that might blur the sound.
Asserting the sophistication of the technology they contain, these stunning speakers are available in a
palette of eight finishes, created by blending five cabinet finishes with six driver cone colours: Piano Black/
Copper, Piano Black/Grey, Frosted Blue/Blue, Frosted Blue/Bronze, Charcoal Grey/Red, Charcoal Grey/
Bronze, Racing Red/Grey, and Arctic White/Champagne. If that isn’t enough, customers can also create their
own customised speaker cabinet colour scheme by supplying a Pantone of their choice, for a truly unique
Blade.
With the philosophy of innovating in pursuit of the most accurate and realistic sound, Blade is about
perfecting a groundbreaking concept to delight people with the ultimate listening experience.
