LFT-8c System

Design: This hybrid loudspeaker features a push-pull mag-planar tweeter and MR drivers, complemented by a new woofer system. Woofer system: The woofer is a gradient dipole speaker system, consisting of an 8-inch cone in front and a 6.5-inch cone in the rear, both powered by a built-in amplifier with DSP. Dipole radiation: The dipole design radiates sound equally from the front and back, resulting in fewer side reflections and simplifying the placement of the speaker in a room. Sound quality: The hybrid design aims for high fidelity audio, delivering fast, coherent, and distortion-free sound, with the intention of achieving electrostatic-like characteristics in the midrange. Positioning: While the dipole design facilitates placement, it still requires space to

The DSP provides signals for the forward firing 8 inch woofer and the rear firing dipole woofer, effectively creating a gradient dipole radiation pattern. This design minimizes room modes, ensuring a smoother bass response at the listening position. Furthermore, this dipole speaker system allows users to tailor the frequency response and bass level for optimum performance, enhancing the overall experience of high fidelity audio in a setup that may include hybrid loudspeakers.

This dipole speaker system features a dual cavity enclosure with forward 8” and rear 6.5” firing woofers. The active powered gradient dipole woofers ensure high fidelity audio, while low frequency time alignment between the woofer and midrange/tweeter enhances sound quality. An adjustable bass level allows you to balance the sound relative to the midrange/tweeter section. Additionally, DSP technology is utilized to improve low frequency room response and extension. The dipole rear firing woofer minimizes low frequency room modes, resulting in smoother bass response in the listening area, making it a great choice for hybrid loudspeakers. Active high pass controls are also included for the midrange and tweeter.

Reviewers have highly praised the Eminent Technology LFT-8C dipole speaker system for its exceptional transparency, clarity, and detail retrieval, often comparing its character favorably to electrostatic speakers. It is noted for providing a more dynamic and substantial sound compared to some similar-style high fidelity audio speakers, making it a standout choice among hybrid loudspeakers.
