THE COSMOSTATIC OMNIDIRECTIONAL
This speaker is unique superb instrument. It is the only Omnidirectional (X,Y
axis 360) electrostatic speaker available today. It is the only electrostatic
system with an efficiency of 92 dB/watt with full usable dynamic range. It is
the only electrostatic system configured so that sound is generated over a large
area from an apparent point source. It is designed to provide, as nearly as
possible the psychoacoustic equivalent of hearing music in a theater or concert
hall.
Its sound is startlingly different from anything you may have heard.
• The clarity
• The tonal balance
• The fantastic imaging.
• The incredible dynamic range
• The sheer beauty
All are due to the use of electrostatic transducers arranged in a sort of sonic
umbrella, teamed with an outstanding woofer system. Unquestionably the best
possible state-of-the-art performance Electrostatic sound.
ELECTROSTATIC SOUND
The first thing you will notice is the superiority and clarity of the high
frequency reproduction: the sounds of cymbal crashes, cascading trumpets,
violin choirs, choral groups, pipe organs, woodwinds and sharply percussive
piano chords. Sounds that will raise your blood pressure. Once exposed to
electrostatic sound, you will not be able to abide conventional electromagnetic
sound.
UNIFORM DISPERSION
The Cosmostatic Omnidirectional is the only array which propagates a sound
in all directions and planes: 3600 in the X and Y axes with absolutely uniform
dispersion at all frequencies, from floor to ceiling.
3-DIMENSIONAL ACOUSTIC IMAGE
With the speakers rolled out away from the wall for serious listening, you will
be able to pinpoint the position of every performer within - and even beyond the boundaries of the listening room. Walk into the line of the speakers and
you are walking toward, through, and past the orchestra. The illusion is total.
HIGH EFFICIENCY AND DYNAMIC RANGE
The Cosmostatic Omnidirectional performs flawlessly from the very threshold
of audibility to wall-battering levels. And it will deliver this performance with
50 to 100 watts per channel. New digital, direct disc or DBX-encoded records
are effortlessly reproduced with their full dynamic range. The built-in
impedance matching .....
UNIFORM DISPERSION 360 IN X- AND Y- AXES
The Sound that would emanate from a musical performer on a rotating
turntable would not vary as it slowly revolves. The same world be true of the
sound emanating from a Cosmostatic Omnidirectional mounted on a similar
