 2
channel 2 way nearfield monitor - on basis of
the ESE patent.
EMES is the first studio monitor manufacturer
who designs studio monitor systems for the
professional using the Embracing Sound
Experience technology. The Swedish company Embracing
Sound Experience AB developed a stereo
reproduction system, that allows us to build a
single system which is capable to reproduce
any stereo image while avoiding the week
behaviour of standard stereo
configurations!
This highly revolutionary concept has a new
approach to the acoustical crosstalk problem
(the fact that the left ear hears the right
speaker and vice versa) to achieve a high
resolution stereo image set for the high
resolution digital media available today.
The "OWL active" is designed as a
stereo near field system for any pro
application at listening distances from 100 -
350cm. The systems comes with all necessary
functions for a handsome use. Level control,
bass correction and tweeter level correction.
The electronic is build in a complete channel
separated way to get the highest imaging
quality possible. All driver components are
messured twice and matched with a max.
tolerance of ± 0.2 dB!!
All EMES active
monitors are shipped with individual fc
diagrams that shows the fc response of L and R
channel and the difference between them.
An OWL-System easily substitutes a
complete front channel configuration (L/C/R)
in surround sound set up.

| The
OWL is a 2 channel 2 way system using a
bass reflex design. All drivers are
selfpowered by identical amplifier types
which are equal in their performance (4
x 100W rms). A very short (20mm length)
biradial horn array is used in front of
the tweeters to optimize the x-over
point, reducing distortion to an extrem
low value and to optain the smoothest
polarpattern possible, because the ESE
patent we are using is very sensitive to
unprecise engineering !! As an option we
offer the s.c. "Acoustic Wings™",
which lenghten the speaker front. This
results in an even more wider listening
area if needed. |
As
woofer/midrange driver we use a modified
carbon-paper membrane driver of europes
leading high Q driver manufacturer. It's
the most non coloring chassis we ever
had in hand, because a woofer that has
to be still perfect at 1 kHz is quite a
challenge! The most critical part in the
OWL-System are the tweeters, because
they have to be very small in size to
mount them as close as possible. On the
other side this devices have to generate
frequencies lower than 1 kHz!!
|
Two
complete separated channel stripes are
used to keep the electronic crosstalk to
a minimum Each of these have identical
amplifier - this means the tweeter has
the same amount of power in the back as
the woofer. A design feature that we
never want to miss, because distortion
created by different designs or varying
power output is not what we want! Our
s.c. "quick delivery" -
digital power- supplies is build with
the same goal in mind it works 2.000
times faster as analog one's and are way
less heavy in weight. On the back you
will find 16 step dips for the input
sensitivity, for low fc control (-6 to +
4 dB), and the hf-section (-4 to +4 dB. |
