The Opera Loudspeakers Grand Callas exemplifies unrivaled acoustic truth, merging advanced engineering with outstanding performance. With a complete redesign, it enhances flexibility and adaptability in various acoustic environments.
The Grand Callas features a three-way floorstanding design, meticulously constructed to optimize phase coherence and transient response through its innovative driver arrangement. The two 8" long-throw woofers employ aluminum cones and rubber surrounds to reduce distortions and offer a seamless transition between low and mid frequencies, while the annealed polypropylene midrange ensures minimal break-up modes, resulting in clear audio reproduction. This unit's unique dipole rear radiation system enhances spatial perception by allowing sound waves to interact with room boundaries, creating a natural ambiance without compromising the integrity of the direct sound field. Furthermore, the ability to select between multiple low-frequency configurations through switchable reflex ducts allows for adjustable tuning based on room placement, facilitating optimal sound delivery in diverse listening environments.
Key Features
- Three-Way Configuration: The combination of woofers, midrange, and tweeter provides a well-balanced frequency response that covers the full audio spectrum.
- Innovative Driver Design: The specialized woofers and midrange drivers utilize advanced materials and engineering to achieve low distortion and high output capabilities.
- Natural Dipole Radiation: The rear tweeters create a dipole effect that enhances spatial imaging and ambient sound, adding depth to the listening experience.
- Multifunctional Rear Ports: Switchable reflex ducts allow for tailored low-frequency response, adapting to various room acoustics and positioning constraints.
- Near-Field Listening Capability: The cabinet's design supports effective near-field listening, ensuring excellent audio quality even at shorter distances.
