TAD Micro Evolution One TAD-ME1 Black with Stands (Unused Traded-In)
Categories: , , ,
Loading...

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY CONCENTRATED IN A COMPACT BODY

TAD introduces the compact bookshelf-type speaker system Micro Evolution One, further perfecting TAD’s sound concepts of high-dimensional sound imaging and soundfield immersion.

Inheriting the design concept of TAD’s Evolution series, the TAD-ME1 is equipped with a 16-cm woofer and 9-cm Coherent Source Transducer (CST) Driver to achieve even more outstanding sound quality throughout an entire room and extremely sharp imaging.  It also incorporates TAD’s Bi-Directional Aero-Dynamic Slot (ADS) port, enabling the reproduction of natural, deep bass sound despite its compact size.

TECHNOLOGY

CST DRIVER

SOUND IN VIVID TRUE COLORS

TAD’s micro CST* Driver, created to produce truly natural sound. With the 14cm CST Driver already having a proven record of success, the 9cm micro driver has been made even more compact in pursuit of the point sound source concept. In addition, the directional characteristics of the coaxially configured midrange and tweeter have been matched to eliminate audio interference. The tweeter diaphragm represents a superior
standard of design, produced from lightweight, high-rigidity beryllium. Over a wide band from 420Hz to 60kHz it delivers outstanding stable sound localization and a natural sound field space.

* CST: Coherent Source Transducer

BASS DRIVER

INCREDIBLE, EXPANSIVE MID AND BASS

The 16cm woofer employs the new MACC* Diaphragm that has enhanced strength
and low internal loss for ideal vibration characteristics, as well as a magnetic circuit with
outstanding linear drive characteristics. This diaphragm employs Aramid fabric and non-woven materials that are separately formed then laminated, achieving rich and smooth mid and bass tones free of coloration with excellent linearity.

* MACC: Multi-Layered Aramid Composite Cone

ENCLOSURE

RICH AND NATURAL LOW TONES

An innovative approach to achieving ideal sound: the Bi-Directional ADS* Port.
Slit-shaped ports are positioned on both of the enclosure’s side panels with flared openings to the front and rear. The symmetrical front-back, left-right layout eliminates the effects of unwanted sound from the port as well as standing waves within the enclosure. Considering the compact size, you’ll be amazed at the rich and powerful sound field that will fill your listening room.

* Bi-Directional ADS: Bi-Directional Aero-Dynamic Slot

I was keenly aware that the hidden power of the CST driver I mentioned at the beginning was finally appearing before my eyes. When I watched the movie, I was surprised to see how amazing the world can be when the actors are all together.

It is ultra-refined, accurate and articulate with near-full frequency range coverage. The way that it images and soundstages is uncanny. It can play softy or loudly, whilst remaining clean as the volume increases – a testimony to the inherent engineering talent at TAD.

This jewel of a speaker — the build quality is of the highest order — will give you expertly voiced sound that belies the size of its cabinet, and will play at output levels that will do justice to your most raucous musical selections. The pair of them imaged like lasers, and could cast a soundstage as wide and as deep as my room allowed.
