Manufacturer: Proac

Description: In nearly thirty years of manufacturing, through countless two-channel designs and more recently Home Theatre systems, ProAc have only ever produced loudspeakers of the very highest quality. Our miniature models especially have established new audio benchmarks over the years. Now that philosophy and expertise has been applied to the design of a radically new satellite system.

Most satellite systems offer five identical units covering mid and treble frequencies, augmented by a sub-woofer covering the bass output. Our approach has been different, resulting in the Response Hexa system, which sets new standards of sound and build quality in 5.1 format.

Just four tiny satellite units generate the whole frequency range except for low bass. Instead of a fifth satellite, a larger dedicated centre-channel unit is employed, featuring identical drive units, crossover slopes and frequencies as the satellites. The system is underpinned by a new compact sub-woofer design which integrates seamlessly with the other units.

Each satellite houses a newly designed 4 1.2" bass/midrange driver which uses the same cone material as some of our most expensive two-way designs such as the Response One SC. Complementing this is a special one inch soft dome tweeter which uses a neodymium magnet assembly with a radial fin cooling system to give maximum dispersion and power handling.

These two drivers are harmonised through a high quality crossover network to produce a remarkably flat frequency response of plus or minus 3db, typically plus or minus 2db over upper bass, mid and high frequencies. That is exceptionally accurate reproduction, in line with the very best mini-monitor performance.

The centre-channel unit, developed specifically for the Hexa system, uses identical drive units to the satellites, but with the addition of an extra bass/midrange driver and a larger enclosure.

The small sub-woofer is immensely powerful for its size. It houses a heavy duty 8" long throw bass unit with fourlayer voice coil and titanium former for high power handling and efficient thermal dissipation. Fully active with a built-in amplifier and crossover network, it can be used for either 5.1 applications or two-channel audio.

All drive units and crossovers are connected with oxygen free multistrand copper wiring and the crossovers are split to allow bi-wiring and bi-amping. Each cabinet is expertly crafted with a mixture of high-density MDF and expensive marine ply. As with all our top end loudspeakers, bitumus damping is used throughout and each cabinet is covered with luxurious real wood veneer.

The innovative Hexa system delivers a smooth unfatiguing sound on a scale out of all proportion to the size of the cabinets, providing a compelling and lifelike listening experience.
