- Product Detail
We don¡¯t use the term ¡®authentic fidelity¡¯ lightly. With Emit 20, that¡¯s exactly what you¡¯ll get: a premium audiophile speaker that astonishes at the price. It might be an ¡®entry-level¡¯ model, but Emit 20 is still crammed with technology that you¡¯ll find in our other families, right up to the flagship Confidence range and our Core professional reference monitors. Make no mistake: you¡¯ll experience performance you simply wouldn¡¯t expect at this level. Mid/bass power and controlEmit 20 uses an 18cm MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) woofer, based on the one we¡¯ve used in the Evoke series. MSP is a material we developed in-house, and have used for many years on our most renowned models. The cone itself is a one-piece design; the dust-cap is moulded as part of the playing surface, which gives it a solid connection to the voice-coil that moves it back and forth. You¡¯ll hear that connection as supreme control and detail in the low and midrange frequencies. The voice-coil itself is aluminium, wound onto a two-layer glass-fibre former. We¡¯ve a long history of using aluminium wire in our voice-coils – and for good reason. It¡¯s light, so doesn¡¯t impede fine movement, and we can get more windings on the former for a given length of wire. That means more ¡®BL¡¯, or magnetic power. More power means more punch. We¡¯ve boosted that further, too, by coating the aluminium wire in copper. Combined with the stacked ferrite magnet system and new surround, that gives Emit 20¡¯s long-throw mid/bass driver all the bass power you could want, even at high volumes, combined with amazing control over midrange frequencies (where instruments such as guitars, vocals and violins reside). High-level tweeter performanceEmit 20 uses the Cerotar tweeter directly from Evoke. It¡¯s a 28mm soft-dome design that includes the ingenious Hexis inner-dome device. The coated fabric dome delivers sweet-sounding high frequencies – all the openness and detail the artists want you to experience in their recordings – while the Hexis smooths the frequency response and reduces unwanted resonance for surprising clarity. Cerotar is powered by a powerful Ferrite+ strontium carbonate ceramic magnet system. It gives the tweeter all the power it needs to play loud without breakup while maintaining all the nuance you could want. Even at neighbour-bothering levels. And because it uses technology from our top-of-the-range Core pro reference speakers (whose users need to listen intently for long periods), you won¡¯t get tired when you¡¯re in the middle of a long session. Inside the crossoverThe mid/bass driver and tweeter are marshalled by a custom-designed crossover from the same team who brought you Heritage Special and Core. Our engineers used a hybrid first- and second-order topology for the tweeter and woofer respectively, giving them exceptional control over each driver¡¯s behaviour. It means you¡¯ll hear what the artist wants you to hear, without compromise. An impressive finishEmit 20 comes in three custom-designed laminate finishes – Black, White and Walnut – that beautifully complement the cabinets¡¯ clean Scandinavian design (conceived in-house at our headquarters in Denmark). Black magnetic grilles come as standard in the box. We¡¯ve even lavished attention on the cover-rings, which hide the mounting screws. They¡¯re one-piece moulded with the surface finish embedded in the material, which eliminates the need for lacquer – so they won¡¯t degrade over time. If you want an audiophile-level standmount speaker for a stereo set-up in medium-size room, or fancy a little more ¡®oompf¡¯ from your rear surround channels, Emit 20 is the ideal choice.
