mls RDM
This is the "mls RDM" (Reference Digital Monitor) with the electronics module attached... The electronics are a tri-amp package - 150 watts for the woofer and 50 watts each for the midrange and the tweeter... (so 250 watts total PER SPEAKER)... ALL DSP Controlled Crossovers and EQ...

I am going to market this guy (in limited production quantities) with the passive Crossover Module at $999 per pair... and with the electronics at an extra $299 per speaker...

8" single layer metal cone woofer
4" titanium cone midrange
3 X 1" ribbon tweeter...

Everything under DSP control... everything fully programmable...USB in - for sure... a must...
Analog or Digital - BOTH...

x-pro monitor - av123


Description: The RDM is going to be constructed using stacked and laminated multi-ply birch. This technique is very time consuming – and more expensive than you can imagine – but – really makes for a sensational enclosure. Sexy to the touch – and really, “impossibly beautiful”. I really want to do it – and prove that we can do this because of the incredible minds (and ambition) of our Cali Design and Production Team.

The RDM is a speaker designed to be placed further out into a room. Its omni direction design will allow the speaker to sound much bigger than it is and help take the sound of the box away from the speaker. Imaging and sound staging will be superb.

While x-pro is sealed… she has a hidden door that unlocks a docking chamber that interlocks with her “mating stand” that extends to low frequencies and also sets her off visually (if not emotionally)… Her stand is not yet far enough along in the costing process to know exactly where “he” will stand… The matching stand will couple to the speaker and allow the woofer to utilize the air space and port in the stand, and allow it to play lower. You can have it either way.

How does the X-LS Super Wave Guide compare to the RDM?
These speakers will share the same woofer, but that's about it.

It will be using a planar magnetic tweeter that is also capable of playing down very low and it is very fast, with very clean spectral decays, and very low distortion.


Anticipated Availability: tbd

Specs:
  • 1 X 6.5” woofer utilizing xbl2 technology (this driver will shock you all)
  • 1 X 3” NEO PDR (modified) Planar Magnetic Midrange/Tweeter
  • I will share this much... the front baffle will be made out of our MS (Mark + Santiago) Material... This is a multi layer (highly damped) combination of mdf on the inner layer - a special "resin impregnated" casting sand (won't / can't say more now) - and another mdf layer all molded (yes... molded) together in a "sandwich"... simply put... it's PERFECT for this application...
  • The "standard" x/o will be totally removable - and in it's place you can drop in a COMPLETE digital electronics package consisting of:
    • 100 watt all digital power amp for the woofer
    • 50 watt all digital power amp for the tweeter
    • complete digital crossover with phase, frequency and amplitude correction
    • room boundary compensation
    • tweeter adjust
    • overall gain
    • modified i/o

Price: $1000-1100 (passive); $1500-1600 (active)
