Following the success of ADAM Audio's critically acclaimed original TENSOR Series, the company is introducing the new TENSOR MK2 fully passive line of loudspeakers at 2013 International CES.
Marked by a new and different approach in terms of driver technology and cabinet design along with the finest available components, the new MK2 models feature ADAM's proprietary X-ART tweeter to ensure the same exceptional performance as its active models.
The MK2 passive models also include newly redesigned bass drivers that use an advanced honeycomb cone to provide a much higher stiffness to weight ratio and lower mechanical loss. Combined with a larger magnetic system, the bass drivers offer a 4dB improvement in efficiency. All of these elements have been combined together with new crossovers engineered to achieve the best sonic reproduction possible.
Cabinet construction for TENSOR MK2 now employs a 25mm solid aircraft aluminum front plate mounted to a heavily damped enclosure for maximum isolation. The damping is created using carefully designed cabinet structures and a sophisticated matte made of small cells filled with tiny steel balls similar to shot. The cabinet's heavy mass works with the energy absorption properties of the steel balls to greatly reduce unwanted sound from the cabinet.
TENSOR MK2 features specially engineered machine mounts to isolate the cabinets from the floor as much as possible and further minimize vibration. The new Alpha and Beta models also use isolation mounts between the head unit and the base to increase resonance control even more.
A newly redesigned active line will follow the TENSOR MK2 passive loudspeakers later in 2013.
