Hart EVO-1 loudspeaker 

 

 

 

The Hart EVO-1 Audiophile Loudspeaker consists of four cabinets in total and optional stands. It was first conceived as a loudspeaker to reproduce modern club music in the studio and home with supreme accuracy, speed and phenomenal bass. The EVO-1 has more than achieved this expectation and it is strongly believed that this is the loudest and best quality club sound reproduction studio and HiFi monitor loudspeaker ever produced. We were then astounded that this extreme could be felt in other genres of music. We found that if we separated the bass cabinet from the mid/high cabinet so that they were interchangeable we could allow for four different arrangements of the cabinets which provided astounding solutions for different listening area characteristics as well as different genres of music. For modern club and digital dance music, the loudest and most detailed reproduction occurred when the stands were removed and the bass cabinets mounted on top of the mid/high cabinets providing the most efficient and resonant free bass reproduction, the bass being directed at the central echelon of the room where it is most needed. For cinema, using two pairs, corner positioned, the bass cabinets are mounted on the floor beneath the mid/high cabinets to establish low seat level full bass coverage between each stack and provide a wide sound dispersion at seated head level from the higher frequency cabinets. A single pair in this configuration also provides excellent all round stereo imaging whilst mounting the bass cabinets above the mid/high cabinets, stand mounted, gave the best all round performance. Achieving the finest reproduction of analogue instrumental based recordings such as classical through to rock was the final and highest hurdle. We achieved this by demanding less bass but providing enough low frequency to fill out the higher frequencies to achieve their maximum potential. This was realised by using the stands and positioning the bass cabinets beneath the mid/high cabinets to obtain optimum crispness, speed and full range detail needed to produce an extremely wide soundstage and dynamics where even the smallest movements of performers and their instruments could be seen as well as a fullness and life from the supporting lower frequencies that can only be compared to a concert hall performance. Perfecting insulation between the cabinets and also the floor achieved the best from each arrangement and each of the four cabinets is insulated by a patented technique incorporating polished stainless steel cupped plates and bearings, as pictured, which provide resonance insulation through minimal surface area contact. The stands are spike and coaster insulated from the floor. Form has certainly followed function with the EVO-1 and these burr walnut monoliths have been beautifully and expertly crafted by hand. Each stack incorporates 10 speaker drive units, 8 of which use a patented arrangement, actively powered by a 500 watt RMS Hart EVO-1 rear mounted panel bass amplifier. Actively powering these drivers gave extra speed. The use of 8 bass drivers with large motor assemblies delivers as low as 16hz and did away with the need for large 15"- 18", heavy, hard to control bass drivers and made way for supremely quick bass response with ringing, bass echo and boom kept completely under control. The other two drive units consist of a 12" full range driver in a co-axial arrangement with an independent motor assembled centrally located high power tweeter. With a sensitivity of 97db 1w@1mtr the 12" co-axial drivers can be valve powered with beautiful results.
