v.1
Evolution Acoustics STUDIO Series products represent the pinnacle of accuracy of monitoring for the working professional. Specifically engineered for nearfield applications, these monitors excel at full-range imaging, woofer and tweeter cohesion, great dynamics at low, medium, or high volume, phase coherence, and natural tonal balance for accurate mixes without listening fatigue. With a long-established history and experience of engineering ultra-high end sound reproduction instruments, Evolution Acoustics brings this expertise into the world of sound production to ensure that the intentions of the audio engineer are properly conveyed at the highest level. While this is strictly a passive monitor, we also offer an extremely powerful and low distortion companion amplifier, the e.300, which was specifically designed and engineered to drive the v.1 without any compromise or limitation, as well as purpose-built ultra-refined speaker cables, the c.3, which complements the setup and ensures complete sonic accuracy, integrity, and compatibility.
Natural. Transparent. Holographic. The foundational philosophy of Evolution Acoustics and basis of our flagship SYSTEM loudspeakers carries throughout each and every product design and the v.1 is no exception. All technological advancements derived throughout the ten years of development of SYSTEM have been applied to every single custom component in this remarkable speaker. There are absolutely no “off-the-shelf” parts in this entirely bespoke instrument. From the drivers to the crossover components to the binding posts, everything is custom designed and manufactured to deliver the highest performance possible with the highest value in the industry. A true world class reference studio monitor.
All Evolution Acoustics STUDIO Series loudspeakers are designed and engineered in the USA. All aspects of our loudspeakers are painstakingly researched and analyzed to produce incredible micro and macro dynamic performance as well as the highest level of clarity in the industry. Only the finest parts are used throughout including reference grade film and foil capacitors, high purity copper air core inductors, copper-nickel wire wound resistors, and foamed dielectric solid core copper wiring. All these parts are hand matched and soldered point to point in our EXACT constant voltage crossover circuits on specially designed anti-vibration and multi-tiered circuit boards.
Clarity and dynamics are achieved using our own proprietary ultra-high quality soft diaphragm Air Motion Transformer tweeters and custom tooled extreme excursion ultra-low distortion ceramic matrix midrange woofer drive units. These components are housed in advanced and structurally inert acoustic CAMDAL cabinetry. Because the walls are composed of multiple layers of high-density fiber, bonded by adhesive compound, and coupled to carbon fiber panels with an anti-vibration substrate, and capped with aircraft grade aluminum plates, the cabinet walls have superior strength and acoustic properties using eight constrained layers of dampening. You will also fall in love with the beauty of these speakers as they are adorned with soft and luxurious premium black vegan leather, matte black powder coated aluminum, and ultra-high gloss carbon fiber. Combine all these elements with an engineering target that is both time and phase aligned, and you have one remarkable speaker system.
