Carl

Innovative three-way, active coaxial monitor design

Carl employ a three-way design, this is a bit of investigating. The main difference, of course, is the number of speakers-two-ways have two speakers and three ways have three speakers. Your typical three-way speaker is made up of a tweeter on top,mid-range speaker in the middle, and a woofer on the bottom. For Carl, Dragon audio employs a unique design with a pair of identical 6’’x9’’ oval woofers surrounding one coaxial 4’’midrange tweeter in the middle of the stack. The oval woofer are hidden behind the Directivity Controlled Wavaguide, which has acoustic opening around its top and bottom edges for the Acoustically Concealed Woofers that add to the sleek, futuristic aesthetic of the monitors. This also allows forequally balanced performance, whether they are used in the vertical or horizontal position.

The Carl is a significant move upwards in quality compared to its similarly-styled siblings. By and measure, it achieves a level of performance that more than justifies it’s price. Its outstanding stereo imagery, clarity, resolution and transparency together with its transient delivery, bass detail and extension prove, to your ears,that this innovative three-way, coaxial monitor design really delivers the goods.
