You may have seen a mention elsewhere about the new Ultra Speaker Series coming in 2010. This is our 'budget' line for lack of a better word. These are high performance, well made speakers at amazing prices.
Here's a few details:
Die cast frames on all woofers.
Cabinets are critically braced MDF, with either black ash or cherry vinyle veneer. The front and back of the speakers will be finished in a painted lacquer that matches the current reference line.
Copper/aluminum shorting rings for reduced distortion.
Everything is custom tooled for Emotiva, using our proprietary transducers with precision LC Crossovers.
Same silk dome tweeter currently being used in our Reference line of speakers.
This line does not utilize the painted, hand finished cabinets and milled aluminum trim of the current ERT/ERM speaker family, and the result is a big price break. The cabinets are still heavy duty MDF, but are covered with the veeners.
All of these speakers have been co-designed and voiced by the legendary Vance Dickason.
All Ultra speakers are full range and ported.
The ported design has been very carefully done, to allow for extended bass and still maintain a very tight, clean sound.
In the works at the moment are:
USM-6.2 - LCR Monitor/Bookshelf. Two 6.5" woofers and one silk dome tweeter. Projected price: $299 a pair.
USM-4.2 - LCR Monitor/Bookshelf. Two 4" woofeers and one silk dome tweeter. Projected price: $149 a pair
USC-5.2 - Center Channel - Two 5.25" woofers, one silk dome tweeter. Projected price: $229 each
USD-5 - Dipole surrounds. One 5.25" woofer, two silk dome tweeters (shaped much like our current ERD-1 surrounds) Projected price: $249 a pair
UST-6.3 - Towers with Two 6.5" woofers, one 5.25" woofer and one silk dome tweeter. Projected price: $899 a pair.
And you've seen the subs, at least the black version. a 10" and a 12" ($399 and $599, respectively).
The subs will be here in Feb. The rest of the line should show up pretty much all at once, later in the first quarter. We will post some artist renderings in the next week or so to get some feedback.
