EMES VIOLETT HR ACTIVE
June 2005—Distributed by Synthax (www.synthax.com), the EMES Violett HR Active ($2,999/pair) is a two-way system with a 1.1-inch silk-dome tweeter and 8-inch carbon-paper woofer, each driven by 100W amps. Response is 48 to 20k Hz (±2 dB). The monitor employs dual 100W amplifiers. EMES' $699/pair Kobalt is a two-way, bi-amplified near-field monitor using a 1-inch ferrofluid textile dome tweeter and a 5.5-inch polypropylene LF driver, driven by dual 70W amps for a rated response of 64 to 20k Hz (±3 dB).
EMES KOBALT MONITORS
February 2005—This blue, two-way bi-amped monitor boasts Emes' ($649) new BI-Port and ISO-Rails technologies: The 25mm tweeter is integrated in the center of the BI-Port (bass-reflex system), allowing for efficient air cooling and enhanced high-frequency dispersion over long distances. In addition, the cabinet is isolated on silicon ISO-Rails, so there is no coupling to the surface underneath or slipping of the speaker during use. Both drivers are powered by matching 70W amplifiers. Input is via XLR or Ľ-inch TRS connectors; a 16-position DIP switch adjusts the monitor listening level from -40 to +10 dB.
EMES SURROUND PACKAGES
July 2004—Largely known for its two-way/2-channel OWL Monitoring Series that uses patented “Embracing Sound Experience System” technology, EMES has also chosen to embrace multichannel customers by offering two surround packages. Its Pink tv 5.1 system ($4,999) includes five Pink near-fields and one Amber subwoofer, while the Violett HR 5.1 kit ($8,999) includes five Violett near-fields and one Amber HR subwoofer. The small, lightweight Pink tv active monitor features two identical 80W amplifiers, matched drivers and adjustable parameters such as DIP switches for sensitivity, bass and high-frequency control. The Pink tv has a 5.5-inch woofer, 1-inch neodymium tweeter and offers a frequency response of 58 to 19k Hz, ±2.5 dB. The Violett HR active monitor comprises a 7-inch carbon-composite woofer, a 1-inch Neodyme tweeter and dual 100W amplifiers. Completing the EMES multichannel packages, the Amber active subwoofer features a 10-inch, dual-coil, long-excursion driver, dual 140W amplifiers, a 80/150Hz highpass filter and DIP switches for level and phase control. The Amber sub offers 38 to 2k Hz frequency response. Similar to the Amber, the Amber HR subwoofer offers a slightly larger cabinet size; as a result, it has a 6Hz lower system frequency response.
EMES CYAN HR
December 2003—EMES Cyan HR. This three-way system has four 8-inch LF drivers, two 5-inch midrange drivers and a 1.25-inch HF driver. A multichannel connector enables tri-amplification, and the published response is 36 to 20k Hz. The passive subwoofer features two 15-inch LF drivers, each in their own isolated cavity, enabling true independent stereo operation. Power handling is rated at 200 watts continuously, 400 watts at peak and the published frequency response for the bass-reflex system is 38 to 1k Hz.
EMES NEAR FIELDS
December 2003—EMES offers several active near-fields, including the Black TV HR Active, a two-way coaxial system with a 7.5-inch LF driver and 1-inch HF driver. EMES' Blue TV HR Active features two 8-inch LF drivers and a 1.25-inch HF driver. Its Violett HR Active sports a single 8-inch LF driver and 1.25-inch HF driver. All three of the EMES monitors use a 120W amp for lows and 100W amps for the highs.
EMES ORANGE HR
December 2003—EMES offers the Orange HR monitor, with two 8-inch LF drivers, two 4-inch mid drivers, a single 1.25-inch HF driver and a stated response of 38 to 20k Hz.
