Description
The Ideal Conduit For Music
In terms of its basic configuration, the Project Everest DD 66000 is an augmented two-way speaker system, a venerable JBL design. One 380mm woofers crosses over to a large-format compression driver and horn at 700Hz, the midpoint of the audio spectrum. A second 380mm woofer reinforces the bass frequencies from below 30Hz to 150Hz, while an ultrahigh-frequency driver operates exclusively in the ethereal realm above 20kHz.
The choice of crossover point minimises the sonic degradation that can be caused by even a high-quality dividing network. The woofers are phased to achieve uniform directivity across their entire operating range, while greatly enhancing performance at the low end. With unparalleled dynamic linearity and harmonic distortion levels approaching those of a fine amplifier, we know of no loudspeaker system better able to realistically reproduce the subtlest nuances of any musical source material that Project Everest DD 66000.
Project Everest’s exquisite and flawlessly finished enclosure, the work of industrial designer Daniel Ashcraft, is itself an integral system component, playing a key role in overall performance. The elegant curves of the front baffle, which recall the legendary design of JBL’s Hartsfield and Paragon speakers, form the side walls of a large high-frequency horn, along with top and bottom flares moulded of high-impact SonoGlass®. These curved panels, created in a proprietary manufacturing process, are joined to flat MDF panels with a complex internal bracing system. The dual-woofer baffle is a separately braced six-sided assembly – covered in select, genuine leather – which interlocks into the main enclosure, forming an extremely rigid, vibration-free structure.
