Overview
Reference Centre
The Nola Reference Center Channel loudspeaker employs open baffle technology to eliminate box coloration from home theater reproduction and to provide a perfect match to other Nola Reference loudspeakers such as the Baby Grand Reference, Metro Grand Reference and Micro Grand Reference. It matches our other Reference loudspeakers both in concept and quality. Four state of the art transducers are used in a 3-way system with a vertical mid-range and tweeter array, flanked by two horizontally deployed woofers.The bass drivers are 180mm diameter cast frame units with magnesium cones and ultra low-distortion motor systems for clean, natural, tight bass response to 35 Hz. The mid-range driver is our premium Alnico magnet / phase-plug tri-laminate cone unit -- the very same unit utilized in the Baby Grand Reference. It is operated without any enclosure as a dipole for lowest coloration. The high frequency driver is a custom version of the Raven true ribbon tweeter. This new version has twice the magnetic force from its neodymium magnet system for twice the acceleration of the ribbon. This transducer has 26 times less moving mass than any known dome tweeter for unparalleled speed and resolution. Fatigue-free long-term listening with the Reference Center is now a reality. The ultimate in Nola "live", open, spacious reproduction is provided.
