The system is capable of playing everything from a small ensembe to a full orchestra without distortion or compression.
This model is built on a modular-concept which allows you to upgrade to the Beta II or Gamma II at any time, simply by purchasing the additional parts. It is not necessary to sell your Cessaro horn loudspeaker system.
The Cessaro Alpha II is a 3-way horn loudspeaker system:
Bass
Backloaded horn with 16" TAD Alnico drive unit
Midrange
Our new composite spherical solid horn with a 2“ TAD TD-4001 Alnico powered compression driver and beryllium diaphragm
Treble
Cessaro modified TAD ET-703 compression driver with cobalt magnet and beryllium diaphragm
Driver
When it comes to drivers our quality standard is the Japanese top manufacturer TAD. Even if TAD drivers are only rarely used nowadays because of their pricing structure, they are without an alternative for the technical realization of our acoustical demands.
TAD drivers with their beryllium diaphragm offer the benefit to react twice as fast as other diaphragm materials. Also it is light and stable like no other material. Because of the rapidity acoustical details can be reproduced, that couldn't be heard otherwise. Speakers with beryllium diaphragm also react significantly more impulsive.
