A BLEND OF A SERENE AMBIENCE AND ACOUSTIC ARTISTRY
A floor-standing speaker system that has emerged from the long
tradition of TAD’s proprietary speaker technologies
TWEETER
As is the case with the critically acclaimed TAD-E1TX and TAD-ME1
speaker systems, the TAD-E2 features a tweeter with a 25-mm
beryllium diaphragm that delivers a polished sound in the mid-to- high
frequency range—a signature of all TAD speakers. The directivity of the
tweeter is optimally controlled by a newly developed waveguide on
which it is mounted. The guide is made of rigid cast aluminum to
suppress unwanted resonance and helps disperse soundwaves
smoothly over an extended frequency range. The shape of the
diaphragm is determined by an advanced optimization method based
on the HSDOM (Harmonized Synthetic Diaphragm Optimum Method)
computer analysis to provide a frequency response up to 60 kHz.
WOOFER
The combination of a newly developed MACC (Multi-layered Aramid
Composite Cone) diaphragm and a delta bracing structure incorporated
into the twin woofers produces a powerful bass with smooth directivity
changes. The vibration-suppressing center cap with excellent flexibility
and the corrugated surround back-coated with damping material
contribute to a clear, distortion-free, powerful mid- to low-range sound.
In addition, a long voice coil with a short magnetic gap, which is
responsible for delivering considerable driving force with exceptional
linearity, has the long pole piece structure that generates a symmetrical
magnetic flux and is positioned in a double short ring to minimize its
inductance fluctuations over the entire frequency range and reduce
dynamic distortions.
ENCLOSURE
The port positioned on the bottom of the enclosure has openings to the
front and the rear, essentially creating a port area the size of a large
bass reflex port. This ingenious design lets the air pass through the
port more slowly and contributes to a clear sound with a high signal-to-
noise ratio. Embodying the long tradition of delivering single-point-of-
source sound for which all TAD speakers are known, the TAD-E2
employs a slanted smallest-possible baffle that reduces the diffraction
of the sound waves to deliver precise sound-field reproduction. The
twin woofers are mounted to the optimum positions relative to the size
of the enclosure to reduce internal standing waves. Inside the
enclosure, sound-absorbing materials are positioned midair onto the
braces that make up the SILENT (Structurally Inert Laminated
Enclosure Technology) enclosure to control resonance effectively.
CROSSOVER NETWORKS
The network filter that optimizes the phase rotation at the crossover
frequency reduces the sound pressure level from the bottom woofer
while bringing its phase characteristics in line with those of the upper
woofer. The network filters for the tweeter and the upper woofer have
dedicated circuit patterns and are mounted in such a way to minimize
interference between them. The bottom woofer has its own network
assembly, which is mounted separately from others to mitigate the
effect of magnetic flux leakage.
OTHER FEATURES
A 10-mm-thick base plate made of solid steel is attached to the bottom
of the enclosure to add sturdiness to the port structure.
The combination of three spikes and a tip-resistant spike attached to
the base enables the firm placement of the speaker system on the floor.
The input terminal on the back allows bi-wiring connection, as is the
case with other TAD speakers in the Evolution Series.
