The directivity of the tweeter is optimally controlled by a newly developed waveguide on which it is mounted. The guide is made of rigid cast aluminum to suppress unwanted resonance and helps disperse soundwaves smoothly over an extended frequency range. The shape of the diaphragm is determined by an advanced optimization method based on the HSDOM (Harmonized Synthetic Diaphragm Optimum Method) computer analysis to provide a frequency response up to 60 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOWERFUL EXPRESSION OF CLARITY IN THE MID TO LOW RANGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of a newly developed MACC (Multi-layered Aramid Composite Cone) diaphragm and a delta bracing structure incorporated into the twin woofers produces a powerful bass with smooth directivity changes.

In addition, a long voice coil with a short magnetic gap, which is responsible for delivering considerable driving force with exceptional linearity, has the long pole piece structure that generates a symmetrical magnetic flux and is positioned in a double short ring to minimize its inductance fluctuations over the entire frequency range and reduce dynamic distortions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRICH, NATURAL BASS REPRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe port positioned on the bottom of the enclosure has openings to the front and the rear, essentially creating a port area the size of a large bass reflex port.

Embodying the long tradition of delivering single-point-of-source sound for which all TAD speakers are known, the TAD-E2 employs a slanted smallest-possible baffle that reduces the diffraction of the sound waves to deliver precise sound-field reproduction.

Its extraordinarily resonant sound will satisfy even the most discerning audiophile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTAD COLLABORATES WITH TENDO MOKKO IN CRAFTING THE ENCLOSURE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTendo Mokko is one of the most prominent manufacturers of luxury furniture in Japan, established in Tendo, Yamagata Prefecture, in 1940. The company has been creating a series of highly acclaimed pieces of furniture, including works with globally renowned designers and architects such as Sori Yanagi and Kenzo Tange, respectively.\u003cbr\u003eNow TAD celebrates collaboration with Tendo Mokko.

The design of the midrange cone is based on detailed calculations resulting in the unique shape that produces superior acoustic characteristics and precise control of the directivity of the concentrically mounted tweeter.\u003cbr\u003eThis configuration unifies the acoustic center of the tweeter and midrange and reconciles the phase and directional characteristics through the crossover range. The CST Driver enables ultra-wide-range reproduction of 250 Hz to 100 kHz, accompanied by a directivity pattern that neatly dampens without disruption across all bands. The result is extremely clear and stable imaging, a wide frequency response, and natural-sounding music reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEXCEPTIONALLY TRANSPARENT SOUND PRODUCED BY THE BERYLLIUM DIAPHRAGMS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiaphragms of the tweeter dome and midrange cone are made of beryllium, the lightest and most rigid of metals. Our proprietary vapor deposition technique refined over several decades gives the metal superior strength and uniformity as well as high internal loss and high-frequency resonance-damping characteristics. The tweeter’s diaphragm shape is derived using an advanced optimization method based on HSDOM (Harmonized Synthetic Diaphragm Optimum Method) computer analysis. It accurately controls differential vibration produced by the diaphragm, providing uniform response to as high as 100 kHz. The large midrange cone features a direct-radiation, vapor-deposition beryllium diaphragm. The resulting sound is astonishingly transparent, direct, and precise across a wide frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISO DRIVE TECHNOLOGY UNLOCKS THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE CST DRIVER\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to maximize the capability of the CST Driver, we developed the new ISO (isolation) drive technology that involves including a mechanism that blocks vibration produced by the driver unit from entering the enclosure, thus structurally separating the CST Driver from the cabinet. The CST Driver, with its powerful drive capability, is prevented from exciting the enclosure, which reduces the radiation of secondary sound. It also limits the influence of the energy from the powerful bass drivers. Delivering only sound radiated from the CST Driver diaphragm, which is the source of single-point sound, improves resolution to convey accurate detail, allowing, for example, the differences in tone color that vary subtly according to how the performers play or sing to be heard with unmatched clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBASS DRIVER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 CM (8.0 IN.) WOOFER WITH EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH PRODUCES RICH BASS WITH GREAT CLARITY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass driver has achieved the highest linearity in the performance of its magnetic circuit, diaphragm, and suspension. First, the magnetic circuit features our unique short voice coil OFGMS (Optimized Field Geometry Magnet Structure), which linearizes the magnetic flux density along the 20 mm (0.8 in.) long gap. This circuit stabilizes drive performance from small to large amplitudes, achieving high linearity and producing signal waveforms correctly. Second, the TLCC (Tri-Laminate Composite Cone) aramid diaphragm has a triple-laminated construction that provides near ideal physical properties. It delivers not only rich and clear bass but also low-coloration sound extending through to the midrange. Third, the suspension employs TAD’s signature corrugated surround, which further contributes to exceptional linearity in woofer cone movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENCLOSURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eELEGANTLY CRAFTED SILENT ENCLOSURE ENABLES IMMERSIVE SOUND FIELD REPRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TAD Compact Reference One is housed in the 60 cm (23.6 in.) tall SILENT (Structurally Inert Laminated Enclosure Technology) enclosure, the technology inherited from the TAD Reference One. This cabinet is constructed of parts of different materials to achieve exceptional strength and better resonance-dispersion and vibration-damping performance; its rigid internal frame is made of 21 mm (0.4 in.) thick birch plywood and clad with CNC-processes veneer panels glued to laminated MDF panels bended using high-frequency hot pressing. The flowing teardrop shape of the enclosure makes the entire cabinet sturdier, reduces sound diffraction anomalies, and eliminates unwanted resonance and the formation of standing waves inside the enclosure. With a beautiful piano-like finish of natural Pommele Sapele wood, the cabinet imparts an air of elegant craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAERODYNAMIC PORT SYSTEM CONTRIBUTES TO DEEP, CLEAR BASS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to take full advantage of the linear performance of the 20 cm (8.0 in.) bass driver and its suspension, the flare-shaped bass-reflex port is aerodynamically optimized by using the fluid design technology originally developed for professional TAD systems. This port effectively eliminates air noise and helps the bass driver unit perform smoothly and deliver a clean, crisp bass sound—even at the limit of its excursion range. In addition, the heavy 27.5 mm (1.1 in.) thick aluminum base at the bottom lowers the center of gravity of the entire speaker system and minimizes changes in tonal quality regardless of how the speaker is positioned, contributing to incredibly tight bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVIVID, ELEGANT COLOR TONES ADD FLAIR TO INTERIOR DÉCOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer surface of the enclosure features natural Pommele Sapele wood, which imparts an artistic air of elegance with its unique wavy pattern similar to that used in the construction of high-end cabinetry and top-grade musical instruments. In the finishing process, skilled artisans meticulously perform dozens of finishing steps for each enclosure. The enclosure comes in two colors—Emerald Black and Beryl Red—both of which derive from beryl, a rare ore that is the raw material used for the beryllium diaphragm.

We have taken the already impressive performance of the CE1 to the next level when designing the new TAD-CE1TX—by incorporating refinements and innovations inside and out.\u003cbr\u003eThe TAD-CE1TX gives a whole new meaning to the two-channel reproduction of music. The CE1TX combines the pinpoint localization of sound images with three-dimension-like sound-field reproduction between the right- and left-channel speakers to create a “being-there” experience for a listener. You would feel as if you were in a recording studio, listening to musicians play their parts.\u003cbr\u003eThe CE1TX has exquisitely honed its quality to provide an immersive sound-field experience to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMORE NATURAL AND CLEARER MID-TO-HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CE1TX boasts TAD’s proprietary CST (Coherent Source Transducer) Driver, which localizes sound sources for more natural musical reproduction. In this ingenuous design, the directivity of the concentrically mounted midrange and tweeter is finely controlled and perfectly aligned to eliminate even the smallest disruption of sound. Just like tweeters found in TAD’s top-of-the-line R1TX and CR1TX speaker systems, the CETX1’s tweeter uses a beryllium diaphragm manufactured with our proprietary vapor-deposition technique. The midrange features a newly developed diaphragm made of magnesium, which reproduces a clearer, distortion-free midrange.

Its input stage is equipped with FET devices hand-selected and paired by our certified specialists. This ingenious design enables a ultra-wide-range signal transmission, resulting in an unprecedented level of precision in signal conversion. Our attempt to eliminate magnetic distortions has taken a step further. The nonmagnetic, highly reliable carbon resistors used for feedback resistance contribute to a nonmagnetic signal path.

A heavy 6 mm-thick copper-plated steel plate is fitted into the chassis to further dampen vibration and lower the center of gravity. This two-layered structure achieves greater rigidity to suppress vibrations to minimize their effect on the disc-drive mechanism.

To increase the purity of power supply, the internal coil of the transformer is directly connected to the power supply circuit, minimizing the contact points with lead wires. Furthermore, terminals for directly connected coils, mounting terminals for motherboards, and clamping screws are all made of oxygen-free copper coated with nonmagnetic materials to eliminate even the slightest magnetic distortions.

First, the C700’s fully balanced circuit amplifies positive and negative signal waveforms individually to ensure identical dynamic circuit properties for both signals. Secondly, the wire length and dressing are identical between positive and negative signal paths and between both channels, to achieve an ideal signal path from input to output. Thirdly, the dual-mono construction design of circuitry achieves maximum symmetry to provide identical amplification, both electrically and mechanically, to positive and negative signals and to both channels, which results in a near-perfect stereophonic sound reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSimplified Signal Transmission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtremely simplified circuit topology eliminates any chance of signal degradation from input to output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to TAD’s fervent belief that “a signal path with minimum functionality is the surest way to achieve the highest level of accuracy and quality in sound,” in the C700, input signals, after their level is adjusted by the electronic volume control, are amplified by a single-stage voltage amplifier before output. Furthermore, a dedicated output amplifier circuit provided to each of the two line outputs prevents signal branching and interference from connected equipment from deteriorating sound quality. In order to transmit music signals in a straightforward and accurate manner, a monitor switch is not available for recording output on the C700, due to its potentially adverse effect on sound quality.

This ingenuous design prevents vibration and magnetic flux leakage from the transformer from adversely affecting audio circuits inside the main unit. The outboard power-supply unit houses a large, powerful toroidal transformer with a 400 VA power rating—not uncommon in power amplifiers but unheard-of in preamplifiers. To increase the purity of power supply, the internal coil of the transformer is directly connected to the power supply circuit, minimizing the contact points with leading wires.

The power supply section, both mechanically and electrically shielded, minimizes noise to ensure the purest possible signal transmission. Three feet with internally inverted spikes decouple the chassis from floor-borne vibrations, delivering tighter, more dynamic sound and a naturally expansive spatial image. Heavy-duty terminals—identical to those used in the Reference Series power amplifiers—provide secure cable connections and outstanding signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTAD’s custom-made parts and components\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TAD-A1000 incorporates numerous custom-designed components to achieve exceptional sound purity.
