SYNCHRONIC
TIME ARRAY: now, time/phase aligning at a popular price ...why should big spenders
get all the breaks?
Call it phase linearity or linking. Time coherence or aligning. But what good is a new audio breakthrough, by any name, if only a privileged few can afford it? You wonder, for the umpteenth time, why high technology always starts out so expensive.
Frankly, we don't know why other famous brands run so high for speakers built to compensate time/phase differentials between drivers. But we do know it can be done for less.
Because Ultra-linear, the up front, coast-to coast loudspeaker company, is doing it.
Our new Synchronic Time Array ST550 system can match-or exceed--their sophisticated performance, for the same bucks a conventional system costs.
Now it's plain you too can have it, why should you want it? Basically, time-sync techniques correct the split-second delay in getting sounds out of your speaker--in the same order they went in.
It's particularly critical when the same note's being reproduced S by more than one driver at the same time. In conventional systems, one driver is always fractionally closer to your ear than the others, so you don't hear a simultaneous attack.
Sure, it's a tiny distortion you wouldn't think matters. Until you hear the definition the Ultra-linear ST550 system achieves through cross over network refinements and driver re positioning.
An ad can't do it justice.
And since ads don't carry sound tracks, there's only one way to comprehend ST550's unique characteristics: direct comparison against any conventional speaker system you're familiar with (at any price).
