2013年1月16日 · Enigmacoustics' Sopranino add-on electrostatic super-tweeter ($3900/pair) was innovative enough to garner a 2013 CES Design and Engineering Showcase Honors award. Mounted on a gray and white glass stand, the anodized aluminum cabinet and almost square speaker panel is small, measuring 7.2" x 7.7" x 8.3", and weighs 10.4 lbs each.

2016年8月3日 · Electrostatic loudspeakers work by the attraction and repulsion of a thin conductive film in an electric field rather than the magnetic attraction and repulsion you’ll find in a moving-coil ...

As add-on super tweeter Sopranino brings the magic of electrostatic performance to essentially any full-range loudspeaker system, capturing air, texture, focus, and inner detail that you otherwise would not have known were there.

Electrostatic tweeters produce ultra-clean highs but are typically reserved for high-end speaker systems. Whether you prefer the power and projection of compression drivers, the precision of ...

2013年11月12日 · For starters there is no external bias supply—nothing to plug into the wall! That’s right, the Sopranino is self-biased and should be thought of as an electret tweeter. The name electret is a concatenation of sorts of electrostatic and magnet, and refers to a material that is permanently polarized.

Larger, fuller-range electrostatic (ESL) speakers are legendary for speed, transparency and micro dynamics with low distortion. ENIGMAcoustics decided that electrostatic drivers would be the perfect choice to provide reproduction of high harmonics without coloration.

An electrostatic loudspeaker (ESL) is a loudspeaker design in which sound is generated by the force exerted on a membrane suspended in an electrostatic field.

The electrostatic tweeter is similar to the Planar-magnetic tweeter in that it’s transparent and has a natural sound. However, its design makes it more durable than the planar tweeter because there are no diaphragms or ultra-light voice coils like you find on other tweeters.

The ENIGMAcoustics Sopranino is a self-biasing electret driver loaded to a short horn. At the rear of the housing is an adjustable crossover (8, 10 and 12 kHz), and adjustable sensitivity (87, 90 dB). The unit is driven in parallel by your system’s amplifier. Enigma recommends the Quad ESL as the ideal match for the Sopranino.
