AVID Reference Four – A new compact reference
Following the successful launch of our Reference loudspeakers at the Munich HIGHEND show, we’ve now expanded the range further to include our new entry level AVID Reference Four. This employs the same unique cabinet construction and vibration damping techniques, sandwiching the drivers between metal plates and guiding unwanted resonances away from critical points to our internal tuned mass damping element. Matched to an appropriate room size it is more than capable of performing to the same high levels as our other Reference models.
Channelling harmful vibration normally felt in the loudspeaker cabinet to our mass damping element ensures the cabinet, loudspeaker chassis and especially the speaker cone remains free of colouration and the sound remains pure and smooth. Manufactured from up to 15mm aero-grade aluminium plate at our Huntingdon factory, each visually fixture free hand crafted cabinet contains one 6” Bass/Mid driver and a natural sounding 28mm soft dome tweeter, each retaining the titanium voice coil former for lightness and rigidity, identical to our other Reference models. The Reference Four cabinet is also reflex loaded, the bass performance being optimised and the tuned port exits below onto our diffusing plate minimising room positioning issues. Our dedicated optional stand is specifically designed to optimise the loudspeakers performance, combined with the ultra rigid cabinet ensuring a colouration free sound.
