Telesto

Earthquake Sound presents its next creation from the TITAN series, the Telesto towers.

Their sleek, slim exteriors are matched only by their performance. The main Telesto cabinets are built from multi-laminations of steam bent, high density fiber board. These laminations offer extreme rigidity as well as lower cabinet vibrations. These single pieces of egg shaped walls offer minimum wall reflections and allow the cabinets to be transparent, dynamic, and neutral.

To maximize floor coupling in low frequencies, the Telestos are equipped with XLT EQ8 extra long excursion subwoofers that create tight, fast, and accurate low frequency extension. The EQ8’s are mounted 90º off-axis from the front of the speakers. This allows for a slim profile while delivering massive bass response. With a name like Earthquake, audiophiles tend to expect more, and the Telesto delivers.

The mid-band of the Telestos are equipped with an array of type loaded two 4” carbon fiber drivers. In an array type design, SPL losses due to the distance between the speakers and the listeners are 4 times lower than conventional design. The dual carbon fiber drivers are fast, neutral, and voice tuned.

The Telestos are crowned with two conically shaped epoxy cabinets that harbor the T1 tweeter and the M2 midrange. The T1 and M2 are placed at about 3 feet elevation from the base. This allows the speaker to produce linear response that is not obstructed by furniture and that is more direct to a sitting listener. The M2 is a 1.25” super midrange that delivers upper mids, and the T1 is a 1” silk dome with a Neo motor structure.

The design of the T1 tweeter module on top of the cabinet in a separate enclosure achieves perfect positioning for wider dispersion and better image stability. The T1 is tuned to allow correct phase integration with M2, the midrange driver. The enclosure designs are optimized to deliver the ultimate in sound quality. Each Telesto is voice tuned to deliver a transparent performance.

As AV front speakers or a conventional stereo system, the Telestos will deliver a benchmark in performance and style that is unprecedented.

Tigris Go to Top

Tigris

Earthquake Sound is proud to present the new Tigris tower speakers, the big brothers of the Telesto towers. Each tower features one 1” silk dome NEO tweeter, one 2” ball loaded silk dome tweeter, and dual 8” Kevlar long excursion midbass woofers all enclosed in an egg-shaped speaker enclosure to enable the most transparent sound reproduction with minimal reflections. Though they share the Telestos’ sleek style, they are more powerful and thicker in stature.

Available in black piano lacquer finish, the Tigris brings elegance to your home theater system without compromising the quality of sound performance.

Platine Noirée 7.1 Surround

The PN-4521 Biampable Tower Speakers with SLAPS are the pièce de résistance of the Platine Noirée system. They are made differently than any other loudspeakers both inside and out. Access to the best technology and precision tools allow Earthquake Sound to combine superior cabinet materials, the most elaborate crossover components available, new driver materials, and top-grade copper cabling into one majestically designed package.

The Platine Noirée home-theater speaker system includes two PN-4521 main tower speakers, a PN-4421 center speaker, and two PN-2421 dipole surround speakers. The Platine Noirée line comprises of four models which can be combined to create anything from a tiny bedroom stereo system to a complete home theater package.

Features

Platine Noirée Universal Speakers Go to Top

Platine Noirée Universal Speakers

The Earthquake PN-2515 is a universal surround speaker designed to complement the Platine Noirée system. Not limited to one application, the PN-2515 can easily be used to create 2.1, 3.1, 5.1 and even 7.1 systems. In addition to its great flexibility, the PN-2515 integrates a new oval shaped bell port with aerodynamic lines that increases its sound quality and bass output. Extruded lines improve the way the air flows over the surface of objects, just like cars and planes. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant improvement over typical flare or circle ports by reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the port; so you get less sound degradation and less compression at high sound levels.

The PN-2515’s versatility will allow consumers or installers to create several different systems for different applications, especially since it can mounted vertically or horizontally. And in addition to its flexibility, integrating these extravagant surround speakers into existing music or theater systems is easier than ever. Now your number one go to brand for "high-end" systems in Town homes, Condos, Apartments and even large Single Family Homes is a clear choice.

Features
* Multi layer Piano Black lacquer finish
* Used for Front/Rear & Center applications
* Gold plated binding posts
* 1.5" high definition silk dome tweeters
* Two 5.25" mid-bass woofers
* Low mass AL style cones for speed and accuracy
* Slim esthetic design for all life styles
* Reflex design with new aerodynamic oval shaped bell port, for fantastic sound quality and natural sounding bass.
* Perfect for Plasma & LCD TV applications
* Vari-mount for vertical or horizontal placement

Grande Utopia EM

La meilleure enceinte du monde ?

Grande Utopia, ce ne sont pas seulement des enceintes qui ont marqué leur génération. C'est aussi le concept le plus aboutit de "Spirit of Sound", l'ultime référence. Après les cônes "W", le tweeter en Béryllium pur des précédents modèles qui avaient réalisé la rupture technologique, la Grande Utopia EM adopte un woofer à électroaimant (EM) d'une force sans commune mesure avec les technologies classiques. A performances superlatives, un style unique : la Grande Utopia EM n'est plus seulement un monument technologique, c'est aussi une sculpture acoustique. Elle est aujourd'hui considérée comme l'une des meilleures enceintes acoustiques du monde.
