Millions of people around the world agree. Recreating the
drama, impact and excitement of the cinema, theatre,
concert hall, opera house, or live arena within the home is a
great idea.

It's where hi-fi came from. Millions also want to hear more of the sound, but to see less of the

speakers. Fine, so we have smaller speakers, but we use more of them. Here comes the snag. Beyond a certain

point, the smaller a speaker gets, the less accurate it becomes. Too often today, the result is that there are lots of

speakers and lots of sound in the room, but accuracy, and with it realism, goes out of the window. Cue Castle Compact.

Here is a system which offers small yet powerful loudspeakers, in an easy to install

flexible configuration, which is visually appealing and highly adaptable, but has been

designed without sonic compromise.

All of the drive units used within the various

satellite modules are identical - purpose built and

meticulously engineered for the best possible

performance. The tweeter, for example, has a frequency

response which extends smoothly to 40kHz, ensuring

that all of the detail, nuances and harmonics within

the audible spectrum are faithfully, cleanly rendered.

The 4.5 inch bass-mid driver has a multi-layer voice

coil for superior power handling, a woven glass fibre

cone for low colouration and a magnet system which

gives it near-perfect damping, for a sound which is

crisp, punchy and faithful to the timbre of even the

most subtle sounds. The craftsman built cabinets are

damped, tuned and reinforced to ensure top level

accuracy across the audio spectrum which includes

voices, musical instruments and special effects.

So, whether you are listening to Radio, CD, Vinyl,

SA

CD, DVD, DVD-A or whatever the future might bring

the Cas

tle Compact will deliver it in full, right on cue.

The basic Compact configuration is for 5.1 cinema

surround systems, but this can be upgraded easily

to 6.1 or even 7.1. The powered sub-woofer has a

variable crossover to accommodate these and other

variations, which include a higher sound level option

for those with bigger rooms or greater appetites.

With the Castle Compact at the heart of your home

entertainment system, you can relax, knowing that

the state of the art may change, but the picture stays

the same. Y
