At this year’s Munich Audio Show, the American High End speaker manufacturer released the latest Orion speaker, which is the top model after the flagship Lyra. Its biggest feature is that it is equipped with a new 13″ carbon fiber sandwich structure The woofer is much larger than Lyra's 10" unit. Although Lyra uses two 10" woofer units, I believe that the performance of the two pairs of speakers at low frequencies will be different. In addition to the larger size of the woofer unit, the tweeter unit of Orion is larger. The body and midrange driver are also larger than other models, 7″ and 1.25″ respectively, so although the efficiency is still 90dB, the recommended amplifier power of 50W is slightly higher than other Rockport speakers. The frequency response is 20-25kHz. , impedance 4Ohms, single weight 136Kg.
The plan to develop Orion started as early as 3 years ago. The original R&D team has been intensively working on it. With more than 30 years of experience, Orion has achieved unparalleled success in combining elegance and performance. Picky balance. Orion's entire cabinet is composed of three parts; internally cast aluminum, carbon fiber body, and carbon fiber front panel. The Rockport manufacturing process completely eliminates the design restrictions caused by traditional cabinet design. Orion's cabinet It has been fully optimized for ideal driver positioning, internal standing wave reduction and minimal edge diffraction, ensuring unhindered, continuous reproduction.
Orion's zero-resonance cabinet design makes it virtually color-free. Regenerating unparalleled dynamic contrast with stunning minute details. Like the flagship Lyra, Orion's DAMSTIF2™ cabinet is unique and achieves the multiple goals of maximum damping, rigidity and quality without traditional carpentry and no fixed parts. The three monomers are all newly developed. The newly customized 13″ carbon fiber sandwich structure woofer provides authoritative frequency response, with amazing dynamics and instantaneous response. The new 7″ carbon fiber sandwich structure midrange driver has high Density and excellent transparency, the 1.25″ beryllium tweeter is equipped with a wave guide, which can provide more uniform diffusion, clearer imaging and extension capabilities.
