Walnut speaker seen from the front without its grille, tweeter and mid/bass driver visible

AL-MAC tweeter with waveguide

The 25 mm tweeter pairs an aluminium, magnesium and ceramic dome with an OSW waveguide. The waveguide focuses the treble on the listening area and reduces reflections from nearby walls. A perforated PPA lens protects the dome and aligns the phase, while ferrofluid provides damping and cooling.

152 mm AL-MAG mid/bass driver

The 152 mm driver uses an ultra-high-excursion aluminium and magnesium cone, also fitted with a PPA lens. Its ART surround and the Advanced Shock-Mount system decouple it from the baffle so that vibrations are not passed on. The second-order crossover hands over to the tweeter at 1.6 kHz.

Faceted Black Walnut side panel with the terminals at the back

Braced faceted cabinet

The faceted cabinet is reinforced inside with Cascade-Fusion bracing, which stiffens the walls and breaks up standing waves. The Founder Series is designed, engineered and built near Toronto, Canada. Walnut and Black Walnut have a satin finish, while Midnight Cherry and Piano Black are hand-rubbed high gloss.

Gloss black rear panel with port and dual binding posts

Bass reflex and bi-amping

The bass-reflex enclosure reaches down to 41 Hz to the DIN standard, with a response from 69 Hz to 23 kHz within ± 2 dB on-axis. The dual binding posts allow bi-wiring or bi-amping, and the recommended amplifier power is 15 to 150 W. The speaker is sold individually, stands 36.8 cm tall and weighs 11.3 kg.
