Acoustic Energy Corinium

CORINIUM by Acoustic Energy is the latest addition to our award-winning line up of loudspeakers. The culmination of a three-year project for our in-house design team, this brand-new, next-generation floor-standing model is set to establish further new standards in performance, design and value.
 Tweeter
 Building on the success of our carbon fiber dome on the 500 series, we identified the need to use an even lighter dome for the Corinium to maximize the transient response of the system. So, we searched for a material lighter than carbon fiber and subsequently sourced a new soft dome material. This newly developed tweeter design has now proven to lower coloration, increase delicate high-speed transients and reproduce the very finest detail and refinement.
 Mid and Bass Drivers
 At the heart of the Corinium is the midrange drive unit. Covering 5 octaves it's the key element which produces most of the sound from the loudspeaker system. The new carbon fiber cone and surround helps provide specific tonal qualities we were targeting for this speaker… offering the most natural sound and realistic musical performance. The extra width of the Corinium cabinet allowed us to house a slightly larger bass driver. We went back to basics to develop a brand-new bass alignment that combines weight, speed and slam to produce a natural, realistic sound from what's still a fairly compact loudspeaker system. In conjunction, we developed a brand new 140mm bass driver to produce a big, powerful, controlled and natural bass sound.
 Crossover
 Optimized for best transient performance, our 3-way crossover blends the power output of each transducer to provide a rich, tonally balanced sound. High quality components are used throughout including air core inductors, metalized polypropylene film capacitors and metal oxide resistors. The crossover is connected to the drive units using audiophile grade internal wiring which features a patented arrangement of conductors to give the best possible musical detail and dynamic expression.
 Cabinet
 All these ground-breaking new drive unit and crossover developments are housed in a beautifully curved, exquisitely finished inert enclosure. The hybrid 'Resonance Suppression Composite' (RSC) cabinets have a minimum thickness of 22mm and vary up to 50mm for optimal performance. The 4° tilt improves the time alignment of sound to listener, whilst the 6mm ultra rigid aluminum front baffle firmly houses the drivers and isolates any cabinet resonances from the listening environment.
