BEHIND THE BRAND – The GoldenEar Sound
GoldenEar speakers are designed to sound like nothing except what is being played through them. First, and most important to them, is the concept of “suspension of disbelief.” What they mean by this is the ability of the loudspeakers, and of course, the whole audio system, to in effect disappear and allow you to forget that you are listening to a recording in your room. In other words, to “suspend the disbelief” that it is not real and allow you to believe that you are actually in the space where the musicians are performing or where the movie action up on the screen is happening. A really good audio system and truly great speakers are capable of achieving this. In fact with movies, it is the sound system and not the picture that frees up your disbelief and allows you to feel like you are really part of the action. “Suspension of disbelief” is the key to great, lifelike sound and this has always been the primary goal when GoldenEar creates their speakers.
GoldenEar Innovations
Tweeters
High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR™) tweeters grace the GoldenEar lineup, and provides much of the lifelike imaging and detail that is the distinct “voice” of the brand. This unique, high-performance tweeter features an exceptionally low-mass, large-area driver. This provides both a relaxed and airy extended high-frequency reproduction, and very low distortion.
Midrange Drivers
The midrange and bass drivers in many GoldenEar speakers use sturdy “spider-leg” cast-basket construction to minimize rear-wave reflections and many of its High-Definition midrange drivers use Multi-Vaned Phase Plugs to ensure smooth extended frequency response.
Bass Drivers and Passive Radiators
Full frequency extension, dynamics, and powerful bass are nevertheless achieved using “Quadratic” dynamic woofers coupled to infrasonic passive radiators that enable striking bass extension and control while minimizing deleterious room interactions and offering optimal bass coupling to the room.
Powered Subwoofers
GoldenEar’s subs and powered towers use sophisticated DSP-controlled digital amplification for optimal transient response and a smooth crossover to the midrange for seamless but room-shaking deep bass performance.
