Bag End CRYSTAL2-I 12" Powered Speaker, Black

Bag End’s CRYSTAL2-I is a full range, long throw loudspeaker system offering high fidelity, high efficiency and high power handling capacity. It is designed for applications where high sound pressure and highly directive long throw capability are required – for instance, sound reinforcement (arenas, stadiums, theatrical), nightclubs, or house of worship. The CRYSTAL2-I includes permanent rigging attachment points and three forged steel eye bolts. Constructed from 15mm 13-ply birch plywood with a black textured finish, leaving it durable and attractive.

The system’s Time-Align® technology assures that the fundamental overtones of a complex, transient, acoustical signal are presented to the listener in the same relationship as the electrical signal at the input terminals of the loudspeaker. The conventional loudspeaker spreads out the sound in time, so when a rapid series of transients occur the results are blurring and lose detail. With Time-Align®, a transient is presented as a tight package of energy, with the same time relationships as the natural sound. This means that a rapid series of transients will be heard clearly.

True Time-Alignment™ requires much more than just physically lining up the loudspeaker components. It requires consideration of the driver placement, driver delay and adjustment of the crossover delay parameters. This achieves the precise simultaneous acoustical arrival time of each driver throughout the crossover region. The proprietary Time-Align® generator is still in use today to verify the time domain performance of our loudspeaker systems, and when comparing a Time-Aligned™ loudspeaker system to any other, the technology and design is easy to hear and appreciate, providing dramatic clarity, realism, and an overall pleasant sound.
