The SweetSpot Advantage: Directional Sound, Perfectly Placed
The ECS-SS82’s innovation is its “SweetSpot” design, featuring an 8-inch polypropylene woofer angled at 20 degrees and a swiveling 1-inch silk dome tweeter. This setup allows for precise sound direction, enabling accurate aiming towards the listening area. This directional capability enhances both music and movies, creating a focused sound stage ideal for surround sound systems and immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Additionally, the ECS-SS82 is effective in architecturally challenging spaces, projecting sound evenly even when installed at the periphery, making high-performance audio achievable in difficult environments.
Immersive Full-Spectrum Audio: Hear Everything, Feel the Bass
At the heart of the ECS-SS82’s stunning audio performance are its meticulously selected components. The 8” (203mm) high-quality polypropylene cone woofer features a wide rubber surround, a key feature that allows for extended bass response and greater piston movement, resulting in a deep, rich bass. Complementing the woofer is a 1” (25mm) silk dome swiveling Neodymium tweeter, renowned for delivering smooth, detailed, and crystal-clear high frequencies.
When used together, the ECS-SS82 speakers provide an impressive full-spectrum frequency response from 30Hz to 30kHz. The remarkably low-frequency extension down to 30Hz is particularly noteworthy for an architectural speaker. This deep, authoritative bass means that in many installations, the ECS-SS82 can easily operate without the need for a separate subwoofer, simplifying system design, reducing clutter, and potentially lowering overall cost. Placing an ECS-SS82 in each corner of a room can provide exceptional coverage and a genuinely powerful bass response. Vocals are rendered with exceptional clarity, while upper bass frequencies are unbelievably tight and musical.
