In 2019 TAD released their latest flagship speaker, Reference One, which is a new pinnacle of TAD speaker manufacturing technology. The Compact Reference One TX (CR 1 TX) is a continuation of their Reference One design, with the flagship technology transferred to the smaller CR 1 TX, continuing the CST coaxial monoblock design and the exquisite woodworking craftsmanship from Tendo Mokko.
In order to achieve the most accurate imaging and positioning by aligning the timing of the treble and midrange, the TAD uses a coaxial monobloc design. This is called CST (Coherent Source Transducer), the center is a 35mm beryllium tweeter, the same axis design of the midrange is a 160mm beryllium diaphragm monoblocks. The whole set of CST coaxial monoblocks, sound range of 250Hz to 100kHz, and TAD with years of experience, so that the metal diaphragm with high strength and high resistance, and through the HSDOM computer simulation algorithm to optimize the characteristics of the monoblocks. The ISO vibration isolation technology at the junction of the monoblock and cabinet enhances the clarity of the sound performance.
The woofer is a 200mm unit with a TLCC three-layer cone based on aramid fabric and an OFGMS magnet structure with optimized magnetic line geometry to achieve a fast response with a short voice coil. In the crossover, the tweeter, midrange and bass crossover are separated, and special hollow inductors, non-inductive resistors and PP film capacitors are used. The subwoofer is fixed on the terminal cover behind the speaker, and this cover is cut from 27mm thick aluminum alloy, and the speaker terminal is also a special gold-plated product.
The cabinet part is entrusted to Tendo Woodworking, which specializes in high-end furniture and top-grade decorative poetry. The cabinet material is 21mm thick birch plywood and MDF board, and the teardrop-shaped cabinet design not only reduces the generation of standing waves inside the cabinet, but also reduces the sound wave bypass outside the cabinet. The bottom is also a 27mm thick aluminum alloy base plate, providing a solid foundation. The long bass reflex hole is open under the bass unit, which is designed according to the fluid mechanics and helps regenerate clean and deep low frequency.
The over half-meter high speakers can be used with a dedicated tripod to get the best listening effect.
