CS1.3 Reference Monitor
The Emerald Physics CS1.3 is designed to establish a modern reference standard for music playback and home cinema. Emerald Physics has effectively broken through most of the barriers inherent in conventional loudspeaker design. The CS1.3 represents the next generation of thinking for speaker design in the 21st Century.
The CS1.3 is a boxless, open baffle dipole speaker whose sole purpose is to be a perfect monitor of the incoming signal. Not only is the CS1.3 superbly accurate in its response, it delivers this accuracy to the listener intact by minimizing room interaction through its patent-pending directivity control technology.
High performance professional transducer components are used throughout providing commanding authority and speed across the music spectrum. High efficiency and ultra-wide dynamic range eliminate signal compression allowing a view into the original event.
The CS1.3’s open-baffle, dipole bass system is powered by twin 18 inch diameter bass drivers which generate powerful yet articulate reproduction of music’s lower registers, while greatly reducing the room interaction common to box speakers.
Sophisticated Digital Signal Processing control of the CS1.3 optimizes performance with precision equalization, electronic crossovers and time-alignment of transducers. Frequency linearity is unprecedented at +/- 0.50 dB.
A beautifully clear and natural picture of the recorded music event is made possible by the integration of many forward thinking solutions into one precision instrument- the CS1.3 Reference Monitor:
• Controlled Directivity: Eliminates most room interaction. Provides outstanding soundstage reproduction.
• Open-Baffle Bass: Unmasks the bass range to uncover the real instrument with real pitch accuracy. Eliminates most room mode excitation.
• DSP Signal Processing: The brains of the system controls frequency and phase linearity, crossovers and driver time-alignment functions. Multiple preset files for installation flexibility.
• High Efficiency Transducers: The CS1.3’s 98dB sensitivity provides effortless, low distortion reproduction of music’s dynamic scale.
