Outlaw Audio, a leading direct-to-consumer Internet electronics
manufacturer, has introduced its first full-range loudspeaker, the
Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeaker. Designed and hand-built in the USA to
audiophile-grade performance standards, it is equally adept for use in
high-end two-channel or home theater applications.
"Since we launched Outlaw eight years ago, hardly a day has gone by
without someone asking us about speakers," commented an Outlaw
spokesman. "As many of us have a great amount of experience with
loudspeakers, it seemed like a fair question. However, the reality is
that we were hesitant to enter the highly crowded field of loudspeakers
unless we felt we could offer something truly special at a great price.
Well, now we can do just that – and it gives us great pleasure to
introduce our first loudspeaker."
The Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeaker features audiophile-grade crossover
components, and high-end drivers. In order to assure complete sonic
compatibility, each loudspeaker will be tested and matched to within
1&Mac218;2 dB of Outlaw's reference standard. This ensures that
speakers, even if bought at different times, will be optimally matched
to one another for excellent performance.
The Outlaw Loudspeaker's 25 mm (1-inch) silk dome tweeter is custom
designed employing precision Scandinavian parts, including the copper
cap and vented former. The tweeter is fully video shielded, and
includes a bucking magnet to virtually eliminate stray magnetic forces.
It is capable of extremely linear and clean output up to 22 kHz.
The low frequencies are handled by a long-throw 5-1/4 inch SEAS woofer
for deep, controlled bass extension down to 54 Hz (+/- 3 dB). In
addition the enclosure utilizes identically dimensioned internal and
external port baffle flares for perfectly balanced pressure
equalization, to virtually eliminate any audible air turbulence. Each
Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeaker employs two pairs of sturdy five-way
binding posts, and is fully compatible with bi-wire or bi-amplification
applications.
A high-frequency adjustment switch allows the tweeter output to be
boosted or lowered by 2 dB to compensate for acoustically 'live' or
'dead' rooms. Finally, each loudspeaker employs a proprietary
three-position Boundary Compensation switch to tailor output for
placement near walls, corners, or in open air.
The Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeaker's furniture-grade cabinet is
constructed of low-resonance MDF with hand-painted black finish or
optional book-matched cherry veneer, and includes a perforated metal
grille. It is currently available exclusively through the Outlaw's
website at www.outlawaudio.com. at a retail price of $999 per pair for
black finish, or $1099 per pair for cherry veneer.
Privately owned Outlaw Audio designs their own line of
high-performance, high-value consumer electronics products and markets
them exclusively via the Internet from their www.outlawaudio.com
website. The recipient of numerous major awards and "Recommended
Component" ratings from major publications, Outlaw's products are
widely regarded by audiophiles around the world.
