The new Model 12 is a two-way
full-range, magnetically shielded, MTM loudspeaker that is designed
to produce smooth non-fatiguing, musical sound. Its design is based on
our highly successful Model 10S. The design goal for the Model
12 was to produce a compact speaker with the musicality of the
Model 10S but with much more bass output and increased sensitivity
to enable excellent performance in both music and home theater
systems. To achieve this we expanded the height of the Model
10S cabinet from 10 to 14 inches to accommodate another woofer
in the D'Appolito configuration. The resulting cabinet measures
a svelte 5.5 X 14 X 6.5. The -10 dB frequency response of the
Model 12, an indication of it's in-room response, is an incredible
30 cycles.
The Model 12 uses two four and
a half inch long-throw woofers. Instead of the Morel MDT30 used
in the Model 10S, we
use the Morel MTD 29 tweeter,
another excellent soft dome tweeter from Morel that facilitates
in-house high quality magnetic shielding of all the drivers used
in the Model 12. The acoustic suspension design of the Model
10S is retained for superb reproduction of the recorded soundstage.
And like the Model 10S, the Model 12's crossovers are true minimum
phase designs for accurate musical response and the best transient
response.
The result of our design approach
is a very potent, extended range, musical small loudspeaker that
is equally adept at playing in music systems or home theater
systems.
