“He Renaissance “a true classic.” This is how Pro-Ject Audio Systems presents, world number one in turntable sales and creator of one of the richest and most attractive catalogs of stereophonic electronics of the moment, his new proposal in terms of loudspeakers: the Speaker Box 5 E shelf model. Substitute for the Speaker Box 5, a “fixed” member of the range of speaker systems from the Austrian company for more than 15 years, the new Pro-Ject brings substantial improvements to a product that, within its category, has been unanimously considered as little less than perfect. Ultra-compact, the “E” version uses, like its predecessor, a configuration 2-way/2-speaker bass-reflex with rear port in which, in line with the philosophy of the Austrian brand, highlights the extreme quality both the transducers and the circuitry that manages them.
Thus, reproducing the treble is responsible for silk dome tweeter 25 mm that guarantees a extreme transparency and softnesswhile the restitution of midrange and bass is entrusted to a “midwoofer” with a 127 mm intertwined glass fiber cone, designed with the objective of maximize rigidity and robustness and minimize thus distortion at high volume levels. The use of a magnetic motor with a magnet of generous dimensions, which ensures a response to octaves unusually wide, firm and controlled lower end of the spectrum in a speaker of such modest dimensions. The perfect harmonization of the two speakers of the Speaker Box 5 E, essential in the agility of its behavior, its tonal precision and the dazzling balance of its subjective frequency response curve, leads us to another of its fundamental characteristics: the presence of a crossover filter highly sophisticated in which the presence of selected components and a circuit board High-quality printed architecture that reduces distortion levels in the particularly critical mid- and high-frequency bands.
For its part, the enclosure is built in MDF with anti-resonance treatmentin order to achieve a totally neutral platform for the transducers, adding to this some impeccable finishes (four options are available), gold-plated connection terminals and protective grilles with magnetic fixation. Furthermore, there is a mounting bracket optional wall mount intended for users who are going to use the Speaker Box 5 E in installations with very limited space or even play the side or rear effects channels in Home Theater systems.
