Description
Powered by its impressive 27-inch spherical horn, the DUO GT is the epitome of performance and dynamic beauty. Because in the captivating world of horns, size matters: the bigger the dimensions of the horns, the more extended the bandwidth becomes, and the more the listener takes advantage of the incredible performance of the horn technology. That is why our engineers focused all of their expertise on developing a set of unique enlarged spherical horns with an extended frequency range of an extra full octave – compared to the UNO SD midrange. Great spherical horns need great drivers – it is the heart of any high-performance system. The EvolutionAA XM2 is a 170 mm midrange horn driver optimized for large, linear excursion. Its new “SoftMesh-Compound” membrane uses a stable grid carcass as its structural foundation. The microscopic apertures of the grid are sealed with a proprietary synthetic elastomer coating. The combination of a stable grid structure with a flexible lining effectively reduces partial resonances of the dome itself and absorbs distortions. The DUO GT uses the same XT3 tweeter, as being used in our TRIO G3 flagship system. The XT3 tweeter's lighter, annular diaphragm extends its frequency range up to 28,000 Hz with 107 dB sensitivity, ensuring greater clarity, focus, and harmonic resolution, a fuller and more natural sound. The DUO GT is combined with a significantly more powerful subwoofer module. By utilizing two powerful XB12 drivers in a bass reflex configuration, the dynamic headroom of the bass has been practically doubled. We have increased the voice coil from 100mm (of the old DUO) to 153mm. This gigantic 6-inch diameter motor structure achieves astonishing levels of force factor and power handling, while at the same time significantly reducing thermal compression. The G3-1000 bass amplifier of the DUO GT has 1,000 watts and is equipped with an advanced digital sound processor. This way it’s possible to adjust the sound to individual preferences and allow for a seamless integration of the system in different rooms.
