Korean Magazine Hi-Fi Journal :"...At the forte
part of orchestral music, I could surely feel the natural balance
and vivid feeling: the touch of the piano and the percussion
sound was so real." "The Borderland captured me with its sound." "...It seemed like the speaker was very revealing of the amplifier." "Compared with the MBL 101, which sounds clear but light, the Borderland will surprise you by the powerful sound." "...My misconceptions about omni-directional speakers were incorrect: I was expecting a smeared, obscured sound. After listening to the Borderland, I was happily proved wrong. |
The Borderland combines the DDD with our most sophisticated passive crossover
network and double port bandpass bass enclosure loading two 8" inch
high excursion ployglass cone.
A steel mesh acoustical isolation barrier separates the DDD’s subenclosure
from the bandpass cabinet and effectively prevents bass resonances from
reaching the upper chamber and modulating the output of the DDD.
Both cabinets are octagonal in form to minimize panel resonances still
further. The double bandpass enclosure design was chosen to achieve very
extended bass response with the superior driver protection afforded by
a sealed back chamber.
And because only the port actually radiates sound into the listening
space, and itself functions as a low pass filter, distortion components
are essentially out of band and therefore inaudible.
The Borderland has the bass extension and output normally associated
with high quality component subwoofers along with an overall sense of
quickness and transparency more commonly found in the finest minimonitors.
Resolution and dynamics are unrivaled in a system of this size. The Borderland,
like the more expensive speakers in our product line, is available in
the customer’s choice of select, hand matched hardwood veneers,
carefully applied to the MDF panels prior to the construction of the
cabinets.
Such a practice results in some wastage, and thus adds to manufacturing
cost, but results in the finest possible furniture grade finish. High
gloss polyester lacquer is standard.
