Quad L-Ite Plus
Consists of 4 Quad Satellite speakers, 1 centre, and 1 LF66 Subwoofer
Quad premiers L-ite Plus – a home cinema speaker system capable of delivering a full-scale cinematic experience from sleek, compact speakers, beautifully constructed to grace even the most stylish of rooms. Building upon the success of the award-winning Quad L-ite and L-ite2 packages, L-ite Plus consists of four satellite speakers for the front and rear, plus a matching centre speaker and a compact active subwoofer.
Driver technology developed from Quad’s latest ‘L Classic’ speaker range ensures exceptional sonic accuracy and expression, in line with the brand’s unerring performance ethos, coupled to all-new elements including the crossover electronics and smart, curvaceous cabinets. Each of the five main speakers incorporates a long-throw mid/bass driver (one in the satellites; two in the centre speaker) with 100mm cones made from Quad’s proprietary bi-directional Kevlar weave. Self-damping, resin impregnated Kevlar fibre is lattice-woven to create the appropriate stiffness, strength and weight, then formed into a cone and mounted on a butyl rubber surround.
These cones are coupled to a high-efficiency, double hand-wound voice coil and a high-gauss magnet assembly, with a die-cast aluminium chassis keeping everything taut and under control, even when encountering large transients and extremes of power. A profiled phase plug is sited in the centre of each mid/bass cone, helping to smooth the response through the crossover region and enabling a phase-linear response to the tweeter. The 25mm fabric-dome tweeter incorporates a precision-engineered waveguide to integrate midrange and treble with the utmost coherence. An advanced, phase-linear crossover combines the drive units acoustically, with low-distortion inductors and high-clarity polypropylene capacitors in the signal path. Phase coherence is particularly important to ensure all frequencies from bass to treble knit together perfectly, delivering a holographic sonic image – essential for believable music and movie soundtrack reproduction.
The drive units are mounted in newly designed cabinets, gently profiled for reasons both aesthetic and acoustic. The smooth, curved surfaces aid seamless dispersion of the output from the drive units, maintaining effective distribution throughout the room for an utterly immersive audio experience.
The L-ite Plus satellites and centre speaker are complemented perfectly by the new active subwoofer. Amazingly powerful despite its diminutive size, the sub’s attractively compact cabinet packs in two mechanically opposed bass drivers with 150mm Duo Tri-Lam cones – a composite cone structure formed from one layer of bi-directionally woven carbon fibre sandwiched between two layers of bi-directionally woven glass fibre. These exceptionally light yet strong cones ensure minimal energy loss and, combined with dual-wound voice coils and an integral 200W RMS (450W peak) amplifier, deliver bass that is deep, taut and agile, with extremely low distortion and a smooth upper bass response that blends seamlessly with the main speakers.
The subwoofer, satellites and centre speaker are impeccably finished with multiple layers of rich lacquer, available in three colour options – sophisticated High-Gloss Black, elegant High-Gloss White and striking High-Gloss Ruby Red.
