Klarity Drivers
The core of the Diamond 12.3 lies in their dual five-inch Klarity mid/bass drivers. The Klarity material is engineered from polypropylene and mica to add incredible stiffness, allowing for low colouration, lightning-quick response, and remarkable mid and low-end sounds. A low-dampening surround maintains accurate movement of the cone and erases vibrations. This results in a flat response curve that ensures accurate sound reproduction.
High-Quality Tweeter
Constructed from woven polyester film with a high-loss coating, the 25mm textile dome tweeter is primed to deliver extended high frequencies. The flat front plate exposes the dome, helping to disperse sound more evenly and cleanly around the room, with a greater off-axis response and elevated SPL measurement, so you can enjoy clear sound no matter where you're sitting. The innovative crossover network, with acoustic LKR 24 dB topology, also ensures the tweeter harmonises seamlessly with the Klarity drivers for a balanced output.
Precision-Made Magnet System
The magnet system creates a stable magnetic field for precise driver movement, reducing distortion and enhancing sound dynamics. The high-performing voice coil diminishes eddy currents and increases the speaker's power-handling capabilities. This ensures that distortion-free audio is preserved across all volume levels, making these award-winning speakers suitable for a wide range of film and music genres.
Innovative Cabinet Construction
To further enhance sound quality, the speaker cabinets feature wooden braces positioned at key points prone to resonance. As the result of thorough acoustic analysis, Intelligent Spot Bracing has been developed to elevate the fidelity and realism of your music and film enjoyment. Moreover, the cabinet is supported by bass reflex ports located at the back of the speakers for more impactful bass.
Diamond Series
Influenced by the renowned speaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink, the Diamond 12.3 Floorstanding Speakers are a benchmark for the entry-level category. Measuring 975mm in height, these speakers are the shortest floorstanders in the Diamond 12 series. This makes them ideal for audiophiles who want a mid-sized stereo speaker system to a fill larger living space.
Easy System Integration
The Diamond 12.3 Floorstanding Speakers are bi-wire compatible to enable smooth signal transmission and frequency separation. Effortlessly connect the 12.3s to your amplifier and create your own incredible home cinema system. The speakers also come in a selection of wood and oak finishes that add a touch of visual refinement to your listening experience.
