Raidho X2t
The two 5.25-inch bass drivers in the new X2t now feature tantalum coating. Tantalum belongs to a class of metals known as refractory metals, which are highly resistant to heat and wear. It has a melting point of 2996 °C, the fourth highest of all metals. This makes the diaphragm much stiffer and harder without adding any weight, thereby increasing the camber frequency to an incredible 15 kHz.
Further X2t updates:
- The best components in the crossover
- Nordost internal cabling
- Complete speaker reconfiguration
Raidho's unique feature among floor-standing speakers is also the use of a 2.5-way design. This ensures a very cohesive sound from top to bottom, as both speakers produce low frequencies, but only the top one produces mids. The speaker decoupler is built into the feet. So, to achieve the best result, there is no need for spikes, because this is done using metal balls on which the speakers rest.
Technical Information-
Proprietary ribbon tweeter is a unique design. It is completely designed and build by hand in-house in Denmark. To be exact, it is a planar Magnetic Tweeter due to the tracks in the foil.
The foil is 11 micron thick, which means it is 50 times less mass in comparison to a conventional dome tweeter. This is because there is no voice coil and the extremely low weight of the foil (20 milligrams).
The result is virtually no resonances or distortion, and the breakup point is at an incredible 82 KHz! What you hear is amazingly clear and natural sound. All the detail in the world, but no fatigue, no distortion, and no coloration!
| Raidho Series X Drive Unit This drive unit is not only highly advanced and built in-house in Denmark, but is also a piece of art. Raidho’s Ceramix technology starts with a thin, aluminum cone and then uses a liquid plasma process and incredibly high voltage to transform the outer skin of the metal to aluminum-oxide ceramic. It’s a time-consuming and costly process, but the finished cone is a unique, natural sandwich, with thin, stiff skins on either side of a ‘softer” aluminum core, creating a structure that is stiffer and with excellent self-damping. Breakups first enter at an incredible 12.5kHz. The motor system consists of strong neodymium magnets focused around a very open system, allowing ventilation to the driver with the benefit of cooling the titanium voice coil and removing part of the design that usually causes distortions. The result is that the speakers disappear even more from the equation, drawing a soundscape without audible distortion and with a pitch-black background that made the instruments stand out and create a holographic soundstage. |
