OVERVIEW
The
Zen Open Baffle is completely
unique. There is no other
speaker like it. Decware's
owner, Steve Deckert, once again
demonstrates radical
out-of-the-box engineering!
It's an open baffle design
featuring a single full range
driver in a tall narrow
baffle. It has no crossover
and no other woofers to help out
with the bass, yet it has bass!
If
you are familiar with open baffle
designs, you already know that to
get any bass the baffle must be
wide and the driver low to the
floor (and usually multiple
drivers must be used). The
Zen Open Baffle, inspired by some
of Tesla's work, uses energy from
the main driver to excite low
frequency resonances in a
dedicated cavity which in turn
produces harmonically correct
bass.
It's quite literally like pulling
perfect bass out of thin air with
no woofer, no compression and no
cabinet vibrations!
With
the full range driver up high at
ear level and in a narrow baffle,
reference imaging and a total
disappearing act is achieved -
making this speaker qualify for
the axiom "Having
your cake and eating it too!"
With high efficiency, these
speakers pack huge rewards with
amplifiers all the way down to 2
watts!
