Essential Audio

The HDS150 bookshelf DIY loudspeaker kit comes with a handsome box made of a thick 18mm MDF construction with a rear firing tuning port and a curved-edge front fascia grill for low edge diffraction. Design has centered on the best sound quality achievable in using a Peerless 5" HDS phase-plug driver. This little driver can have quite a punch! Producing high dynamics and high SPL with low distortion. Use of premium electronic components and the best tweeter from Peerless, this optimised design gives you astounding performance from such a compact system. With Home Theatre, this exceptional little speaker is suitable for front and/or surround sound applications. For a fully dynamic system, we highly recommended these satellites be used in conjunction with the XLS800 diy subwoofer kit. You will be amazed at the fullness of the quality of audio that these mini-monitors reproduce.

The HDS250 bookshelf DIY loudspeaker kit comes with a powerfuly dynamic 5" HDS phase-plug Peerless driver suppliing articulate, light, fast bass with ultra-low distortion and minimal harmonics up to surprisingly high volume levels! The crystal clarity of a beautifully detailed wide sound stage is improved over a majority of other speaker systems due to both the coaxial speaker alignment and the tweeter being counter-sunk into the cabinet which achieves mechanical acoustic time alignment for a brilliantly accurate reproduction with pinpoint sound imaging. Combined with a crossover developed with particular attention being paid to the phase alignment achieves a uniquely seamless transition between the tweeter and mid-woofer not usually mastered by traditional systems. This makes the HDS250 ideal in home theatre due to the impressive impact of the forward realism achieved and can be placed in any or all of the room positions (front/rear/centre) due to the inherent wide dispersion. The incredible accuracy achieved places this speaker in a “Monitor” class faithfully reproducing even the most subtle details of your favorite music. Multiple driver configurations are also more efficient so are also quite suitable for the low power of valve amplifiers, etc.

The HDS255C centre channel DIY loudspeaker kit povides crystal clear highs, tight fast bass and a beautifully articulated forward mid-range presence with low distortion and low compression giving incredible impact in sound and transports the realism right into your livingroom!  This exceptional speaker is electronically optimised for the horizontal axis with particular attention paid in development to achieve the best vocals for most natural realism possible.  When matched with other HDS speakers in a home theatre setup, it gives a new level of pinpoint focus imaging to sound effects and their location relative to the screen just as the director intended. The Peerless HDS255c can be matched with the Peerless HDS150 satellites, HDS250 sister speakers or the floor standing HDS455.

The HDS455 floorstanding DIY loudspeaker kit is professionaly developed to create a sound that is clean and clear with uncompromising acoustics in dynamic range and frequency bandwidth to accurately reproduce any of todays high definition digital sources.  The countersunk tweeter in the coaxial location between the mid-woofers achieves physical acoustic time alignment between drivers. This corrects the sound source location to one single point, regardless of the listeners positioning.  Like focusing a lense, this achieves an incredible
level of realism to the sound stage bringing everything into clear focus.  Instruments are localised and positioned, close your eyes and they are there!

Sound effects take on a new reality when positioned correctly in space. Now the full impact and emotion of Movies and Music can enthrall the listener.  An impressivelly high efficiency of 92dB means you dont need big amplification for full dynamic sound. Along with the well behaved impedance curve the HDS455s is also suitable for the lower power class-A and valve amplifiers of exotic audio.  The tall handsome cabinets are precision computer tooled from MDF and are available in real Australian hard-wood Jarah wood veneer or durable black hard vinyl with a grain finish.   A wide base tapered plynth is included, spiked feet are optional extras.  There is the facility for sand filling in a lower cavity for additional stability and extra resonance damping.  Welcome to a new level of accuracy in sound.
