The CM1 may be ideal for
smaller spaces, but don’t let the size of this bookshelf speaker fool you.
Thanks to the quality of its construction, it’s capable of producing a sound
that’s a match for its bigger brothers.
The partnership of a 130mm
Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver with a Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome
tweeter helps the speaker handle musical detail with ease across the full
frequency spectrum. Despite the size of the speaker, the CM1’s bass is always
deep and under control thanks to the CM Series’ magnet and voice coil system
technology, which keeps distortion to a minimum.
The quality of CM
Series drive units has made it possible to use minimalist crossovers throughout
the whole range. The resulting gentle transition between drivers avoids the
unnaturally rapid changes in dispersion that bedevil more complex designs, while
the high quality components, carefully chosen after exhaustive listening tests,
ensure that as little as possible gets between you and the sound of the original
recording.
All CM Series speakers come with aluminium driver trims.
Grilles attach magnetically, so there are no unsightly grille-mounting features
to spoil the clean lines of the speaker’s facade. For the finish, you can choose
either one of two real-wood veneers in Rosenut or Wengé, a stylish white or
highly polished gloss black.
