TAD EVOLUTION ONETAD-E1AX
METICULOUSLY REFINED TO EVOKE UNCHARTED EMOTIONS
With the evolution of TAD’s CST driver and refined acoustic design, the E1AX reaches a new depth of musical expression. Its sound, deepened through meticulous refinement, resonates with a natural sense of life and space.
TECHNOLOGIES
Clear and vivid sound reproduction
The TAD-E1AX speaker system incorporates TAD’s proprietary Coherent Source Transducer (CST) driver, designed to reproduce truly natural sound. The compact version of the already proven 14cm CST driver embodies TAD’s long-held point-source sound concept. In addition, the directivity of the concentrically mounted midrange and tweeter is finely controlled and perfectly aligned to eliminate even the smallest disruption of sound. Just like the tweeter found in TAD’s top-of-the-line R1TX speaker system, the E1AX’s tweeter is made of a light yet rigid beryllium diaphragm engineered and manufactured with precision using our proprietary vapor-deposition technique. The result of all these ingenuous designs is the consistent sound image localization and a natural sound field reproduction over a wide frequency range from 420 Hz to 60 kHz.
Incredibly expansive mid-to-low frequency range
The 16cm woofer employs a Multi-layered Aramid Composite Cone (MACC) diaphragm to achieve greater strength, improved internal-loss characteristics, and ideal vibrational behavior. The MACC diaphragm is composed of layers of woven aramid fabric and non- woven fabric of different material formed individually, then laminated to form a single composite cone, and is driven by a Linear Drive Magnetic Circuit (LDMC) with outstanding linearity. All this attention to detail contributes to a rich, distortion-free low-frequency-range sound, as well as a mid-to-low-frequency.
Rich and natural-sounding bass
The Bidirectional ADP (Aero-Dynamic Port) System positions a port at the base of the enclosure, with its openings facing the front and rear. The port features a horn-shaped interior that reduces port noise and enhances efficiency in driving the port, resulting in clear and responsive sound in the mid-to-low frequency range. The combination of the port flare crafted from die-cast aluminum with the symmetrical front-back layout effectively counteracts the physical force that vibrates the enclosure, thereby contributing to the reproduction of powerful bass. Moreover, the 10 mm-thick machined steel base plate attached to the enclosure’s bottom enhances its stability when placed on the floor, counterbalancing the reaction caused by the powerful driving force of the twin woofers.
Two color variants to choose from to match room decor
The TAD-E1AX is available in two color variants to cater to room decor preferences. In addition to the black finish (K), which was offered to its predecessor, the TAD-E1AX is also available in a new glossy white finish (GW). Skilled artisans meticulously complete each enclosure, beginning with the application of high-grade, clear coating to the surface and the buffing of the base coating, and finishing with surface polishing. The TAD-E1AX comes standard with non-slip pads for secure placement, a cleaning cloth, and woofer grilles designed to minimize adverse effects on speaker performance.
