The NuForce S-X Loudspeaker
The S-X is ahigh-performance desktop loudspeaker that complements your life-style and flatters your
good taste.
The
S-X's
versatile shape offers arange
of
placement options.
Whether
upright, on its side,
or
mounted on awall upright
or
inverted, the S-X produces awide, musically compelling soundstage.
On
your desk
or
elsewhere
in
your
work area, the S-X permits you to
move
about without experiencing the
loss
of
image
or
fidelity most desktop speakers exhibit.
As aparticularly attractive feature, the S-X is available with aluminum side panels in four colors to
coordinate with the NuForce Icon. An RJ-45 connector and Cat-5 cable are provided for connection to an
Icon or other device.
Designed with
NuForce's
Icon
in
mind, the S-X delivers alevel
of
performance that rivals loudspeakers
several times its price. The
speaker's
proprietary driver employs an extremely thin paper cone for excellent
transients and lifelike musical timbres. Add to this adie-cast basket, vented voice coil and powerful
Neodymium motor structure for alevel
of
bass
perfonnance,
high frequency extension, linearity and
power
handling capability that belie the
S-X's
size.
The S-X is awhole lot more than another pretty face.
The
speaker's
angled front panel contributes its
remarkable performance. The principle
of
"Form
follows function" is in full effect.
The
S-X's
profile
optimizes dispersion, thus providing as wide asoundstage as the laws
of
physics allow.
Working
in
harmony with this, the integral waveguide further optimizes dispersion as it minimizes distortion in the
critical midrange region. Finally, the
S-X's
design eliminates
any
possibility
of
the midrange distortion so
common to systems that employ acrossover
in
this critical frequency band.
In
summary, the S-X integrates an unprecedented level
of
creative engineering for aproduct
of
its size
and
price. While the technical details we mention may be
of
no interest,
you'll
most assuredly enjoy what they
do for your ears.
