The X Centro Diamond Mk II is a true
Estelon design offering an
unparalleled sound performance,
matching the outstanding tonal
reproduction and sophistication of
all the Estelon products. An
unprecedented level of accuracy in
music systems and home theatres
through superior musical performance
in any listening space. The X Centro
Diamond Mk II brings the movies to
life through realistic imaging
details.
Estelon
engineering took
many years of
research and
testing to find
the right
material that
would allow the
highest quality
of cabinet and
construction for
the
loudspeaker’s
acoustically
engineered
complex shape.
We developed a
proprietary
marble-based
composite
material and
special moulding
technology to be
able to make
cabinets with
such advanced
surface geometry,
inside and out.
The combination
of the
high-density,
solid mass of
the moulded
marble-based
composite and
the purposeful
shapes, results
in
characteristics
that allow for
close to perfect
acoustical
properties. The
cabinet is
extremely rigid,
highly dense,
resonant-free,
and with
exceptional
internal
dampening and
acoustical
control.
The unique shape of the cabinet is highly complicated and differs greatly from a classical box design. In fact, it’s not a box at all! There are no parallel walls, almost every surface inside is curved. The curved cabinet walls make the cabinet completely “dead” and non-resonant. Such a highly advanced and complex cabinet design and construction allows only pure and uninfluenced sound to emanate from the various high-performance driver elements.
The 48 kg weight of the speaker gives it static and dynamic stability. This provides a solid foundation for the explosive acceleration of the driver membranes. There is no compression effect in macro dynamics and no confusion or uncertainty in subtle micro-dynamics of the sound.
The Estelon X Centro Diamond Mk II cabinet has been designed in a way that there are no sharp edges. The soft curves of the cabinet eliminate the effects of reflective diffraction from the drivers’ output; thus, the directivity of the speaker is homogenous and wide. The frequency response and timing change very little from the centre to the sides, retaining smooth tonal characteristics and time alignment of the drivers.
In order to achieve the highest degree of micro-detail fidelity, the filter components are connected directly, via point-to-point techniques, all hand-soldered with high-quality solder, and with the shortest possible cable runs between drivers, crossover and binding posts.
