If you're considering entry into the world of the spherical hornspeaker, the UNO is just right. The UNO can be placed even in small rooms. It offers what a normal loudspeaker does not have 100% emotion. With an efficiency rating of 100 dB, the UNO is a rocket among conventional loudspeaker systems! This amount of high efficiency and high dynamics means more musical detail, and most importantly, lots more fun.
Technical Overview
The UNO includes a two-way Hornspeaker satellite, provided with the integrated active sub-woofer SUB217BR PRO (making it a 3-way system). Optionally, it can be ordered with the SUB225 CTRL PRO (the standard DUO and TRIO Subwoofer).
The M1 is a 4-inch midrange driver with a 2.5-inch dome especially developed for this system. The design of the dome ensures a phase-neutral radiation of the sound waves into the midrange horn SH 5702 and ultra-wide bandwidth of the extended midrange. The large, linear movement of the M1 allows a very low cut-off frequency. To its low end the M1 runs without being slowed-down in full-range operation, e.g. is not limited by any passive frequency filters. The CDC (Controlled Dispersion Characteristic) system features a controlled roll-off at 3,500 Hz and allows the use of a phase-correct passive frequency crossover.
H1 is a high-frequency tweeter providing an extremely wide frequency range capable of reaching down to 1 kHz. Based upon the same design principle of the nearly "legendary" TRIO tweeter H3, the H1 offers very low distortion and excellent transient characteristics. The over-dimensioned magnet structure of the tweeter, weighing 6.5 lbs., results in a sound pressure level of 100 dB (1Watt/1m), yet specified at a very high power rating (over 100 watts).
