Small changes, significant results.
Alta Audio’s two-way Alec achieves imaging that is natural and sonically accurate in size, placement, and timbre, with the undeniable feel of live performance.
The new Alec was developed out of a company mission to design a floor standing speaker with a compact footprint that creates a natural, and neutral, listening experience that accurately conveys each performing artist’s sonic vision. Lifelike sonics and a natural soundstage immerse the listener in music, whether placed in a spacious home or an urban dweller’s apartment. The Alec achieves unparalleled sonic realism and spatial accuracy that far exceeds what may be expected from its already outstanding measurements.
Alta Audio’s 5.75 inch neodymium magnet ribbon tweeter is responsible for the Alec’s natural and detailed high frequency response. Likewise, the 8.75 inch woofer’s tuning parameters are coupled to the unique cabinet design, resulting in infrasonic, floor moving bass, and refined cohesion between the Alec’s pure aluminum ribbon tweeter and XTL Bass woofer.
The difference between good and astonishing sound exists in adjustments that are nearly undetectable in measurement.
Alec illustrates how small changes yield significant results. In our pursuit of life-like sound, we often find that the difference between good and astonishing sound exists in adjustments that are nearly undetectable in measurement, yet to the listener, result in dramatic improvements.
Understanding this concept is fundamental to Alta’s approach, and is evident in Alec and every model we offer. Through countless hours of experimentation and listening, we found that the delicate fine tuning of crossover values which would normally be considered within tolerance, reveals the refined qualities of audiophile sound.
These small changes can be the difference between merely listening to a pair of speakers and being transported to the time and space of a performance. They are the final component in achieving the waveform cohesion that defies the senses and produces inarguably lifelike sound.
Extended Transmission Line Alta Audio’s proprietary technology that applies sonic geometry to tune speaker cabinets as if they are musical instruments, delivering an accurate, fast, and powerful low frequency response.
