The Unison Research MAX 1 speaker exemplifies acoustic truth through its optimized sensitivity and impedance design. This speaker ensures accurate sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum with a focus on high fidelity and minimal distortion.
The Unison Research MAX 1 is a two-way floor standing reflex-loaded loudspeaker that masterfully combines acoustic engineering and material science. The 12" woofer, crafted from a composite of vegetable dough and carbon fibers, features a moving coil with dual layers, enhancing thermal performance and minimizing distortion through controlled magnetic flux. Its neodymium magnet enables high power handling, while the fabric suspension ensures a smooth frequency response with reduced resonance effects. The complementary compression driver, loaded with an elliptical Constant Coverage ESS horn, delivers a wide dispersion with constant directivity, critical for both accuracy and a cohesive soundstage. The advanced crossover design employs high-quality components to provide a smooth impedance curve, allowing compatibility with both valve and solid state amplifiers while maintaining sound integrity. The cabinet's structural integrity is fortified by thick MDF and internal bracing, which significantly reduces cabinet vibrations that could color the sound.
