Enjoy this tower speaker's award-wining sound and design
THIEL's CS1.6 features a slender, unassuming design, but its performance is far from ordinary. This award-winning tower speaker produces dynamic, audiophile-quality sound that's sure to impress even the most critical listener. The CS1.6's extraordinary performance comes from the attention THIEL paid to the details.
High-tech speaker drivers
Remarkably clear highs
A high-output aluminum tweeter produces crisp highs, thanks to a short coil/long gap design. Unlike the voice coils found in most speakers that extend outside the magnet, the deliberately short voice coil always "sees" the optimum magnetic field as it travels back and forth. This eliminates distortion caused by variances in magnetic strength. You'll enjoy crystal-clear highs with pinpoint imaging and an exceptionally wide, deep soundstage.
Richly detailed, musical bass
Bass comes courtesy of an aluminum woofer with a cast aluminum chassis and a large 3" diameter voice coil. The large diameter coil distributes its driving force over a large area of the cone rather than concentrating it at the center. This helps the cone keep the proper shape, for clear and open sound reproduction. The woofer also takes advantage of THIEL's short coil/long gap design to help eliminate distortion. It all adds up to accurate, musical bass that perfectly complements the treble without being "boomy" or overbearing.
State-of-the-art crossover
The "unsung hero" of any speaker is the crossover it directs the right frequencies to the right drivers so you don't have a tweeter trying to reproduce bass and a woofer trying to reproduce highs. THIEL meticulously engineered their first-order crossover to achieve tonal neutrality. The advanced crossover ensures that musical information such as amplitude, phase, and time remain faithful to the original signal.
A finely crafted cabinet
The super-strong cabinet features one-inch-thick walls with internal bracings to enhance rigidity and minimize sound-muddying internal resonance. A two-inch-thick front baffle sports curved edges to reduce unwanted diffraction, for improved tonal and spatial performance. The front of the cabinet slopes back, placing the voice coils of both drivers on the same plane. This allows all frequencies to reach your ears at the same time for the most complete and accurate sound reproduction.
