The NOLA Micro Grand Reference Series II is a stand-mounted
loudspeaker that utilizes the same driver technology and concept as
the floor standing Baby Grand Reference and Metro Grand Reference
loudspeakers. Driver complement consists of two magnesium woofers, one
Alnico magnet open baffle midrange, and one open baffle true ribbon
tweeter in a 3½ way UnisonTM crossover design. The UnisonTM crossover topology, new with the Series II,
provides an even more coherent, immediate, and dynamic response from
the drivers. Uncharacteristically, the increase in resolution is
accompanied by an even more musical presentation. The driver array
utilizes our 45-degree mirror-imaged concept for midrange and
tweeter. The twin 120mm cast-frame magnesium woofers operate in an
optimum rear vented enclosure. The vent is an oversized,
double-flared design that eliminates port noise. The 110mm cast-frame
tri-laminate cone midrange uses an Alnico magnet and operates as an
open baffle dipole to eliminate enclosure coloration. The open baffle
true ribbon tweeter eliminates any kind of diaphragm, as the ribbon is
the diaphragm. The moving mass of this design is about 25 times less
than any known dome tweeter. The result is effortless detail without
hardness. The lack of enclosure in the middle and high frequencies
eliminates a large source of coloration.
The 3½ way UnisonTM
crossover is implemented on three internal crossover boards for
maximum quality. It employs only top quality audiophile grade
components throughout, including 630-volt close tolerance
polypropylene capacitors and flat wound pure copper coils. Wiring is
with Nordost mono-filament silver wire. The crossover boards are hard
wired (no printed circuits) for maximum quality.
The Micro Grand Reference Series II utilizes a built-in double
platform base with custom ball bearing isolators to further reduce
coloration due to floor-borne vibration. The bases are finished in
true piano black finish. The Micro Grand Reference Series II brings
stand mounted speaker performance to a new level. A dedicated stand is
available which provides optimum sound quality.
