The iFi RETRO LS3.5 speaker was inspired by the legendry BBC LS3/5a speaker. In order to create the most open, natural and organic sound, iFi uses the latest technologies combined with natural materials, to create the LS3.5.
The wideband driver is custom-made to iFi's high specifications. It is made of the super-light coated natural paper for ultra-fast response and excellent efficiency.
The super tweeter employed is no ordinary tweeter neither, again it is custom-designed and is performing the job of a super-tweeter. It is made of transparent organic silk, and horn-loaded, to create a coherent image with the wideband driver.
The cabinet utilised is an advanced multi-chamber P.G.A.H Voigt tuned enclosure with a low turbulence port to reduce port noise at high levels. This design enhanced the bass performance of the small speaker to a level seldom achieved before.
The cabinet is made from natural, sustainable bamboo. It is 3 times as strong and has the weight of a normal wood cabinet. The extra strength and light weight reduce cabinet coloration s i g n i f i c a n t l y t o e n a b l e t h e L S 3 . 5 t o c r e a t e a w i d e , o p e n , y e t a c c u r a t e s o u n d .
Each cabinet is tuned using tuning elements (sound bar and braces) from musical instrument manufacturing.
Time-aligned tweeter and wideband driver for a perfect sound field.
Advanced amino-plastic open cell acoustic foam for best bass performance and a clean midrange.
Maximum surface contact gold-plated copper speaker terminals.
