IPL S2TLP CD3 Ribbon TRANSMISSION LINE
FEEDBACK ON S2TLP and other IPL KITS
The S2tlP CD3 Ribbon is a compact transmission line, with a larger coupling volume than the original S3tl Ribbon, and the tweeter placed above the bass unit,-resulting in an improved performance in smaller or more awkward rooms. The S2tlP Ribbon uses the superb IPL/6/CP bass unit with its ultra light but stiff composite Polypropylene PPF talc loaded cone, having a smooth response, sturdy cast chassis, and large shielded magnet assembly, and one of the best Ribbon tweeters; the Fountek Neo CD3.0 ribbon which is a very high quality unit with high strength NEODYMIUM magnets, ensuring a fast and transparent sound. The unit has a very low resonant frequency of 400 Hz allowing a low crossover point of around 3khz.. The advantage of the ribbon is a 10 x better mass to magnetic flux ratio over most dome tweeters. This tweeter is used in the very best of commercial speakers costing up to £8500! All drivers are matched for response and sensitivity.
The S2tlP Ribbon is a remarkable speaker with a large bandwidth,- giving a large scale, open sound quality, a very natural light and detailed midrange, and an extended but very controlled bass. This speaker can be placed fairly close to a rear wall, and used in relatively small rooms. The treble has an ambience and sense of realism which is seldom heard with conventional tweeters. All this is obtained without harshness ensuring that this is a speaker you can listen to all day without fatigue. The frequency response is extremely smooth and extended giving a well balanced and natural sound . The bi-wired crossover is 2nd order at 3.2 kHz, and incorporates high quality IPL and MKP Polypropylene capacitors in both the bass and treble leg, Top quality Super Power Ferrite Dust IPL bass inductors, and air cored treble inductors, and high power resistors. Line damping is with IPL"s profiled acoustic foam, and Long Haired wool. for fine tuning. The total kit includes a very solid flat-pack cabinet , including internal baffles, angled deflectors ,and a shaped grille frame, . Plus and Total Kits now include the CP4L Gold Terminal Crossover panel
