Description
The LENOIR1001 series loudspeakers produces an incredible listening experience. Considering how compact they are, the depth of bass response is remarkable. The LENOIR1001 is ideal for desktop use, smaller listening spaces, or background music in large rooms.
Materials:
Cabinets are made of Baltic birch plywood, a superior quality and stable hardwood.
The rear back plate is made from compression moulded cotton-phenolic composite, an expensive but incredibly durable and dense material re-directed from industrial waste streams generated during bearing production in our Montreal Factory, otherwise sentenced to landfill. Note this industrial material may have some very minor scratches, which does not affect sound or durability!
The front baffle uses a hybrid of the same composite laminated to wood. The magnesium alloy 4″ woofer paired to a 1″ silk dome tweeter creates a beautiful soundstage and brings to life subtle details especially enjoyable in jazz and female vocalists. Originally designed by Paul Carmody, this design has been a huge success in the audio space.
Who made it:
Press-moulding of the composite, precision-machining, assembly of the speaker cabinets, audio components assembly are all performed by our Montreal personnel.
Why LENOIR1001?
Montreal always breathed music! Its most iconic music-related building was built in 1908 by technical genius Emile Berliner, that later became the RCA Victor studio in 1924, with its incredible acoustics produced by polycylindrical walls. Where was this studio located ? You guessed it, on Lenoir street.
Ask professional musicians of all styles from around the world and they will tell you that Montreal and music go hand-in-hand. Famous for its International Jazz Festival, Montreal is where bands like Supertramp, The Police, Genesis, Chris de Burgh, Yes, Styx, UZEB or Arcade Fire were first discovered, while being the home of jazz musicians like Oscar Peterson, Michel Cusson and Oliver Jones. From its world’s unique mixed culture of French and English, its famous cabarets from the 20’s to the 60’s, its Place des arts and numerous festivals, music is simply part of the city’s life. Why not name a speaker by one of our early musical cornerstone location? As our provincial motto claims: Je me souviens…
