Commentary
Using the know-how acquired in the development of Stella Elegance, this speaker system was completed after spending three years selecting and developing units and researching and improving networks.
A 16 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
In this unit, in consideration of the sound connection with the tweeter, a coating process is applied to the paper cone made of natural material. In addition, a diaphragm with a pentagonal diaphragm shape with high frequency attenuation characteristics and low miscellaneous resonance is adopted.
In addition, a double voice coil structure is adopted and used as a stagger drive.
A 3.5 cm inverted dome type tweeter is installed in the high range.
The diaphragm of this unit uses a mixture of 50% bio-cellulose (natural fiber) and 50% carbon fiber. This diaphragm was newly developed over four years. The ultrafine bio-cellulose fiber firmly wraps the carbon fiber, reducing the rusting noise caused by the unique rubbing of carbon fiber.
In addition, neodymium magnet is used for the magnet.
Both the high-pass and low-pass units use a double magnet system, so there is no influence on cathode ray tubes due to magnetic flux leakage.
The enclosure uses a bass-reflex structure.
Stella Melody comes in five variations of finishes : lacquer finish (poplar, piano black, and elable red) and matte finish (pier, oak).
Stella Fortis was sold separately as a stand exclusively for Stella Melody.
This stand is constructed by sandwiching a column of MDF material filled with quartz sand to control unwanted resonance and adjust the sound. A threaded spike can be used on the bottom, and it can be combined with Stella Melody by fastening it with screws.
Like Stella Melody, this stand also has 5 kinds of variations for finishing.
