Naim Ovator S-600

The Ovator S-600's balanced mode radiator (BMR) constitutes its most  visible technological advance, yet the performance of this loudspeaker  is equally the result of painstaking refinement in numerous elements of  design, construction, and material selection.

For example, there is so much more to the musical reproduction of  bass than low frequency extension, so the Ovator S-600 LF driver is  designed not simply to play bass, but to do so with faultless musical  accuracy. It incorporates a multitude of electro-acoustic details aimed  at minimising distortion and compression, and the result is extended  bass with peerless timing, dynamics, and pitch accuracy.

The Ovator S-600 crossover network is housed within the plinth and  divides the audio signal between bass drivers and BMR with fourth order  acoustic slopes at 380Hz. Each component selection is the result of  intense technical analysis and listening, and the component arrangement  is fundamentally informed by the layout and earthing techniques  developed for Naim Audio power amplifiers. A crossover module suspension  system and individual component decoupling ensures any chance of  microphony is minimised. Conversion to either bi-amp or tri-amp active  drive is easily achieved through removal of the crossover module.
