Boxe Morel Fat Lady

Its not over till the fat lady singsMorels flagship loudspeaker Be prepared for an emotional onslaught as soon as the music starts: expect to be captivated and drawn into the performance Its not over till the fat lady sings A unique starting point for the development of an inspirational loudspeaker system. Morel needed to take a radical design stance in order to create a loudspeaker to be recognized by the hi-fi cognoscenti, with a form to stimulate the visual senses whilst not dominating the living space. With more than three decades expertise of manufacturing some of the worlds finest loudspeaker drive unitsused by many legendary hi-fi companiesexpectations for the new design were high. CABINET The ideal cabinet for the fat-lady needs to be strong and light in weight. Light and strong are expressions associated with the design of high performance racing cars and aircrafts, so where better to look for materials to construct the cabinet. For the composition of the fat lady enclosure, an outer layer of lacquered carbon fiber is optimally mixed with fiber glass and epoxy resin. Utilizing the very latest in manufacturing techniques, Morel have produced a mold that affords the RD team total freedom to create a design that is both acoustically and visually sublime. The curved shape with no straight lines is similar to a musical instrument. Unlike conventional loudspeakers it has absolutely no internal damping: the inside of the cabinet is empty. The cabinet is allowed to vibrate in a controlled manner along with the drive units and uses this energy as part of the reproduced sound. The clever part is that the cabinet sings with the drive unit but stops immediately when the drive unit stops so there are no delayed resonances. The result is a speaker that sounds as if it has no cabinet at all. Awards:
