The
EMES KOBALT is a new generation 2 way bi-amplified near field Monitor,
specially designed to meet the best performance at a reasonable price
point.
We are proud to offer most of the EMES HR line features in the KOBALTs
too.
Finally we add two unique technologies to it -
The BI-Port and the ISO-Rails.
The BI-Port was specially designed to keep the cabinet
dimensions as small as possible, while supporting the High frequency
section.
Therefore we integrate the 25mm Neodymium Tweeter In the Center of
the BI-Port (Bass Reflex System) for two reasons;
To aim for an efficient Air cooling of the "little tweeter"
by the Woofers Air flow, secondly and most important to generate a
"velocity field (ring shape)" around the Tweeter to support
it's High frequency dispersion pattern over long distance!(riding
on along wave) Result - an unbelievable precise Stereo-Image.
Also the ISO-Rails are features which have practical aspects
as well as acoustical once!
Most available cabinets have flat sheet surfaces, such speakers have
hard times to stick on the location they were placed on, especially
when they are pushed hard, manually or by the moving force of the
Woofer!
Not such strange things happen to the KOBALTs! The cabinet is standing
on the ISO-Rails - a special silicon profile - only. So there
is no coupling to surface underneath nor is any "slip" behaviour
going on, so the low end is always tight at any time!
As always at EMES, matched high quality drivers are chosen, because
to us they are the most critical part in a quality Studio Monitor
System!
The Low range (66 - 2000Hz) is reproduced by a 14cm polypropylene
Membrane HDS-driver. A 25mm high
efficiency Neodymium Tweeter located in the BI-Port is used
from 2 - 20 kHz!
We at EMES always use identical amplifiers, to have the lowest time
related distortion possible! Therefore
2 identical build in 70W rms amplifiers which deliver a powerful and
optimized output drive a single KOBALT
Monitor. This is one of the many design criteria's to the EMES audio
performance.
To adjust the monitor to your personal listening preferences, a 16
position dip-switch has been added to control
listening levels and mid range behaviour!
We ship the KOBALTs as all other EMES monitors
as matched pairs!
