Commentary
A center speaker developed for the multi-channel CDM NT series.
It is designed to prevent magnetic field as a center speaker.
It has a 16.5 cm cone type mid-range in the low range.
The diaphragm of this unit uses a Kevlar cone to reduce the standing wave generated in the cone. In addition, the center cap is equipped with a bullet-shaped fading plug to improve the diffusivity in the middle and high regions, making the connection between drive units smoother.
A 2.5 cm metal dome type tweeter is installed in the high range.
This unit is a tube-loading tweeter used in the Nautilus 800 series, which effectively absorbs unwanted sound radiation from behind the diaphragm, enabling higher-quality high-frequency playback.
The enclosure uses a bass reflex system.
The CDM NT series enhances the exposure of the tweeter by exposure of the tweeter, enhances the sound spread and the sense of freedom, and improves the total system performance by aligning the time with the woofer.
The bass reflex port has a number of small depressions in the opening that act like the surface of a golf ball and, in combination with hydrodynamically studied shapes, improve air turbulence in the port.
The exterior has a natural veneer finish and comes in three variations : black ash, red cherry and cherry.
