Harbeth 推出全新 XD2 系列喇叭

Harbeth Releases XD2 Model Line-Up

Harbeth 設計師 Alan Shaw 表示，XD2 系列是「迄今為止最清晰的 Harbeth 喇叭」。他對這款新系列感到無比興奮，XD2 採用了改良的單體配方與更精密的射出成型工藝，使這款備受推崇的英國喇叭在還原聲音的透明度與真實感上更進一步。

提升的清晰度也意味著分頻器需要同步升級，其中部分型號，如 M40.5 XD2，還進行了額外的調校與箱體加強，使低頻表現更為扎實且更具深度，同時依然保留 Harbeth 獨有的音色平衡。

「Harbeth 喇叭以自然、真實的音色與迷人的中頻著稱。」Harmonia Distribution 總裁 David Schultz 表示：「透過全新的 XD2 單體與升級後的分頻器，Harbeth 進一步強化了真實感與音樂細節，使其成為史上最受矚目的 Harbeth 產品。」

Alan Shaw of Harbeth says the XD2 models are the “clearest Harbeths ever produced.” He is rightly excited about XD2, a new series of Harbeth speakers based on an improved driver formulation and improved injection molding process that makes these celebrated British transducers even more transparent and honest to the source.

The increase in clarity meant that the crossovers had to be improved too, with some models, such as the M40.5 XD2, receiving additional tuning and bracing of the cabinet. This produces a tighter and deeper bass without a change to the tonal balance that Harbeth is revered for.

“Harbeth makes very natural and real-sounding speakers with a beautiful midrange,” says David Schultz, president, Harmonia Distribution. “With the new XD2 drivers and improved crossovers, they dial up the reality and fidelity, making these the most sought-after Harbeths ever made.”
