Grand Callas • Callas Diva • Callas

The new Callas Diva model is a three-way floorstanding speaker that replaces the previous model with the same name. It has been completely redesigned. The performance of the new Callas Diva is at the level of the Grand Callas model but with a significant reduction in volume to be use in smaller room.

 

The low range, reflex loaded design, uses one 8 inch "long-throw" woofer, while the mid-high range is reproduced by a 7" annealed polypropylene midrange and by the 1" Scanspeak 9700 tweeter. The diffuser is complemented by the back radiation system that uses two Tweeters configured as a "natural dipole".

The back radiation system uses two tweeters connected as a natural dipole. The performance of dipole is virtually indistinguishable from the triplet used on previous Grand Callas. The back radiation feeds the reflected field without interfering with the direct sound , while preserving the accuracy of the transient response. The back radiation balance the power response and increases the "Brilliance" which is a quality related to the perception of sound details. Improving the perception of detail means improving the perception of “space".
