Evolution Acoustics Model One Bookshelf Speaker (Pair)

The Evolution Acoustics Model One Reference Monitors will defy what you think you know about small bookshelf speakers. Evolution Acoustics is pleased to introduce the MODEL ONE reference monitors, a cutting-edge small speaker created by Kevin Malmgren. Although diminutive in size, the MODEL ONE incorporates new technology developed for the recently released SYSTEM THREE statement speakers. It is designed to compete with any two-way monitor at any price. MODEL ONE can be used as a stand mount or bookshelf. It’s only 7.5” wide, 11.5” high, 11.5” deep and weighs 25 lbs. Appearance is eye-catching with matte black aluminum, high gloss carbon fiber and ebony vegan leather.

Natural. Transparent. Holographic. The foundational philosophy of Evolution Acoustics and basis of our flagship SYSTEM loudspeakers carries throughout each and every product design and the MODEL ONE is no exception. All technological advancements derived throughout the ten years of development of SYSTEM have been applied to every single custom component in this remarkable monitor. There are absolutely no “off-the-shelf” parts in this entirely bespoke instrument. From the drivers to the crossover components to the binding posts, everything is custom designed and manufactured to deliver the highest performance possible with the highest value in the industry. A true world class reference bookshelf.

All Evolution Acoustics MODEL Series loudspeakers are designed and engineered in San Diego, California. All aspects of our loudspeakers are painstakingly researched and analyzed to produce incredible micro and macro dynamic performance as well as the highest level of clarity in the industry. Only the finest parts are used throughout including reference grade film and foil capacitors, high purity copper air core inductors, copper-nickel wire wound resistors, and foamed dielectric solid core copper wiring. All these parts are hand matched and soldered in our EXACT constant voltage crossover circuits on specially designed anti-vibration and multi-tiered circuit boards.

Clarity and dynamics are achieved using our own proprietary ultra-high quality soft diaphragm Air Motion Transformer tweeters and custom tooled extreme excursion ultra-low distortion ceramic matrix midrange woofer drive units. These components are housed in advanced and structurally inert acoustic CAMDAL cabinetry. Because the walls are composed of multiple layers of high-density fiber, bonded by adhesive compound, and coupled to carbon fiber panels with an anti-vibration substrate, and capped with aircraft grade aluminum plates, the cabinet walls have superior strength and acoustic properties using eight constrained layers of dampening. You will also fall in love with the beauty of these speakers as they are adorned with soft and luxurious premium black vegan leather, matte black powder coated aluminum, and ultra-high gloss carbon fiber. Combine all these elements with an engineering target that is both time and phase aligned, and you have one remarkable speaker system.

Features

• Design: The speakers feature an eye-catching design with matte black aluminum, high-gloss carbon fiber, and ebony vegan leather. They use an advanced, structurally inert Acoustic CAMDAL cabinetry composed of multiple layers of high-density fiber, carbon fiber panels, and aircraft-grade aluminum plates for superior acoustic properties and minimal cabinet coloration.
• Drivers: The Model One uses a proprietary 2-inch soft-pleat Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter and a custom-tooled 5.5-inch long-throw ceramic matrix midrange woofer drive unit.
• Crossover: They incorporate an "EXACT constant voltage series" crossover circuit, designed to provide a ruler-flat frequency response, incredibly low distortion, and linear electrical performance. The crossover point is at 1.7 kHz.
• Imaging and Soundstage: Exceptional imaging and holographic, three-dimensional sound presentation, which is achieved through a narrow baffle width and controlled dispersion. They can produce a soundstage with the scale of a much larger, floorstanding speaker.
