T+A Launches First Model In New Criterion Loudspeaker Lineup

Inspired by the model’s Solitaire collection, the brand new Criterion S 230 options T+A’s Symmetric Directivity Design on the entrance.

Utilising two midrange drivers and one tweeter to pay attention direct sound within the listening space and mitigate reflections and sound impurities, the engineers have reworked the Symmetric Directivity System from the Solitaire S 430 and tailor-made it for the brand new magnesium tweeter used within the Criterion S 230.

As for the low-end, the Criterion S 230 speaker is supplied with the newest technology of MultiResonator Transmissionline Technology that builds upon the inspiration of the MultiResonator and Compensated Transmissionline Systems from the earlier Criterion collection.

The MultiResonator construction contained in the speaker is exactly calculated and resembles an organ pipe, maximising sound strain within the low-frequency vary and excluding sound colourations and inaccuracies earlier than they’ll happen.

Founder and CEO, Siegfried Amft informed StereoNET:

With all our give attention to know-how, one factor was significantly vital to us. With the Criterion, we did not simply need to set ourselves a technical problem, however above all, we wished to carry to life our imaginative and prescient of an uncompromisingly audiophile-tuned, high-quality crafted, and uniquely designed speaker that reconciles audiophile sound replica with a progressive design.

The Criterion S 230 is accessible in a satin matte rubbed lacquer silver, satin matte rubbed lacquer black and Makassar. Available from April 2024, abroad they may promote for €9,500. Australian & New Zealand pricing and availability has not but been confirmed.
