Compression drivers can generate more energy than dome tweeters and are considered the signature of classic horn speakers. Classical 12 Center features a computer-calculated 35cm horizontal wooden horn with a 44mm diaphragm titanium compression driver and two fast 12-inch paper cone woofers. The horn placement has two versions, vertical and horizontal, and can be selected based on the space requirements.
The titanium tweeter utilizes an accurate phase design, powerful magnetism, and an advanced chamber. This allows it to deliver crystal clear treble while producing strong, thick, and articulate midrange. The 12-inch paper cone woofers with coated fabric surrounds are made of paper and glass fiber composite. They have a shorter stroke than ordinary drivers and can deliver ultra-fast transient responses while maintaining high linearity.
The crossover network adopts high-quality customized components and sets the crossover frequency at a low 1200Hz. Classical 12 Center can deliver open and lively sound effortlessly. The 98dB efficiency is extremely high and can pair with any AV receiver—perfect for home theater enthusiasts.
With Classical 12 Center, LALS offers sound signatures similar to Daniel Hertz and TAD. The sound dispersion and directivity are designed with precise calculation, and ideal frequency response is achieved—a true audio masterpiece.
Horn speakers are highly efficient. This allows them to achieve lifelike and highly realistic sound effortlessly. In the meantime, the high energy output from the horns can sometimes lead to shouty and harsh sounds in some spaces like concrete houses that have room modes emphasizing high frequencies. To better tame the treble under these circumstances, LALS has put the treble attenuators at the back of Classical 12 Center. This way, one can easily adjust for optimal performances simply by turning the knob.
The nice wooden enclosure of Classical 12 Center is handmade in Taiwan with the highest standard. Russian birch plywood which is stronger and denser than ordinary Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is used to gain lower resonances for better acoustic performance. The high-quality wooden veneer finishing of Classical 12 Center makes it aesthetically appealing and is suitable for various spaces. It also has an elevated angle for easier center channel placement.
