Small yet extremely versatile. Unassuming visually, yet a sonic force. The SCS4 is a 2-way loudspeaker that performs equally well as an excellent full-range stereo pair, surround-sound, or center-channel speaker. It's coaxially-mounted drivers and aluminum baffle contibute to the SCS4's outstanding fidelity, making it as comfortable in demanding music systems as it is playing movie soundtracks or background music.
Coaxial/coplanar driver mounting for correct time response delivers full-range performance with vertical, horizontal, shelf, or stand placement. SCS4 time alignment
The SCS4 uses a very low distortion, high output, metal diaphragm 6.5-inch woofer that is coaxially mounted with a 1-inch, high output metal dome tweeter, the same high performance tweeter that is used in THIEL’s flagship model CS3.7. The woofer's short coil/long gap, copper stabilized motor system greatly reduces distortion, and its reinforced metal diaphragm is specially shaped to reduce diffraction of the tweeter’s energy.
In addition, the SCS4’s unusual coaxial driver mounting allows great placement flexibility by ensuring that every listener hears the sound from both drivers at exactly the same time, regardless of where and in what orientation the speakers are place (see diagram on right).
The SCS4 delivers complete phase coherence for exceptional clarity, transparency, and three-dimensional imaging.
Like its much more expensive siblings, the SCS4's crossover is a true first order acoustic type that provides the utmost in spatial and depth imaging performance as well as overall realism. This is the only type of crossover that provides complete accuracy of amplitude, phase, time, and energy, and therefore the only type that does not distort the musical waveform. Proper application of this gradual-transition type of crossover requires the use of more expensive drivers with wider frequency ranges than are required for use with common quick-transition crossovers but the benefits also include improved uniformity of the speaker's output in all directions.
The SCS4's crossover is meticulously engineered to achieve extreme tonal neutrality and is constructed with extensive use of polypropylene and custom polystyrene capacitors.
Aluminum baffle, doubly-laminated 1-inch cabinet walls, and thick bracing create an extremely rigid cabinet to eliminate unwanted resonances
The cabinet plays an enormously important role in the quality of music reproduction and so the engineering of the SCS4’s cabinet incorporates several innovations that contribute to the speaker’s stunning clarity, its utter tonal neutrality and its exceptionally realistic imaging. The SCS4's new cabinet design uses a die-cast aluminum baffle for much greater rigidity in driver mounting and elimination of cabinet resonances. Combined with doubly-laminated 1-inch cabinet walls, unified and reinforced with thick bracing, this robust cabinet construction, usually only found on much more expensive speakers, greatly improves detail, clarity, and spatial information.
The SCS4 is available in real wood Natural Cherry, Dark Cherry and Black Ash finishes.
