My review sample came finished in high gloss piano black that I'm told takes weeks to complete and is faultless. This brilliant design allows the speaker to go deep cleanly, despite its modest dimensions. There is a 3mm gap between the cabinet and the plate to allow the sound out, but it doesn't suffer from port chuffing due to its profile. Under the steel plate is what the manufacturer calls a Bi-Directional Aero-Dynamic Slot – a symmetrical horn-shaped port cut into each side of the cabinet that's claimed to take care of internal standing waves. It's heavy, dense and inert – indeed the knuckle rap test tells me that this is probably the most lifeless cabinet I've ever come across, and is like tapping a rock! Each side has a 4mm thick structural steel plate bolted on that helps reduce unnecessary resonances from the cabinet and acts as a cover plate for the bass reflex ports. These drive units are held in place by a high-rigidity, low resonance cabinet constructed by laminating Baltic birch plywood combined with MDF. It has a rated sensitivity of 85dB (2.83V, 1m) and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, so isn't a walk in the park to drive – you'll need a powerful amplifier that can easily deal with low impedance loads. The result is a claimed frequency response of 36Hz to 60kHz, without mention of any tolerances.

The woofer cone is made of woven and non-woven aramid fibre fabric that's separately formed then laminated together, making it very stiff and with ideal characteristics within its operating frequency range.Īccording to the published specifications, the coaxial CST driver covers a wide bandwidth from 420Hz to 60kHz, the tweeter crossing over above 2.5kHz with the woofer below 420Hz. The midrange is made of magnesium, a slightly heavier self-damping metal that's also super-stiff. Its low mass and strength make it a superb material for the job in hand, but it is costly and hard to work with. The tweeter uses a pure Beryllium diaphragm chemistry boffins will know this to be the lightest stable metal in the Periodic Table.

As the two drivers share the same acoustic centre, they are time-coherent and have matched directivity, which produces nicely controlled radiation patterns of both direct and reflecting sounds. Other manufacturers like KEF, with its Uni-Q driver, for instance, use a similar type of design. The 25mm dome tweeter is mounted concentrically within the 90mm midrange cone, effectively becoming a point source of sound. Not your average High Street brand, then.Ĭosting a cool $18,499 in Australia with matching stands, the Micro Evolution One (ME1) is TAD's entry-level loudspeaker – its smallest and least expensive offering! It sports a 160mm woofer that works with a unique Coherent Source Transducer coaxial midrange/tweeter driver. Since 2003 the company has branched out into the consumer sphere with speakers and electronics, albeit operating at the very top of the market.

It was created by Pioneer in 1975 to make reference loudspeakers for Japan's professional audio market. Most audiophiles won't have heard a TAD loudspeaker it was only at a hi-fi show that I first encountered the brand several years ago. remains one of high-end hi-fi's best-kept secrets.
