The lowdown
The Reference Connoisseur line packs huge performance into cabinets that don't devour your room — and the CC-5 is no exception. The CC-5 is small in every way but its performance. The 0.75" aluminum dome tweeter and dual 4.5" woofers with Ribbed Elliptical Surround deliver tight, distortion-free low-frequency response to make music, movies, and games sound more exciting and lifelike. The tweeter and woofer are in proximity and act as single source to increase dispersion. The black ash finish with high-gloss black baffle looks great with any new flat panel TV.
Pop the hood
Pop the grille and what you see is Pure Energy: from the crystal-clear 0.75" dome tweeter to the 4.5" Kevlar™ woofers, there's enough power to deliver the thrill you want. Using Kevlar for cone construction gives the woofer both light weight for quick reaction and superior rigidity to handle increased output levels. Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology cuts distortion, so all you hear is audio the way it was meant to sound.
Ribbed elliptical sound
The patented Ribbed Elliptical Surrounds that encircle your CC-5's woofers are unlike any other. By changing the shape of the speaker surround to an ellipse, rather than the traditional "half roll," distortion is reduced dramatically. Side benefits include increased excursion and larger piston area, allowing for greater efficiency. The cast basket woofers also feature this technology, allowing the surround to stretch and contract as it moves, eliminating dimpling.
Aluminum dome tweeters
Aluminum dome tweeters combine the wide dispersion characteristics and superior off-axis response of a dome design with firm, but lightweight aluminum. A staple of audiophile-grade speakers, the aluminum dome tweeter features low distortion, flat frequency response and smooth acoustic dispersion.
Frequency response and why you care
Frequency response is how well a speaker reproduces every frequency in a human's audible spectrum. Since most humans can hear from approximately 20Hz to 20kHz (20 cycles per second which is deep bass, to 20,000 cycles per second which is very high frequencies), this measurement depicts how wide of a spectrum the speaker can reproduce. It is important to note that although some speakers can play a wide range of frequencies, the most important fact is ensuring it plays all frequencies at the same level. A speaker that, for example, reproduces more high frequencies than low frequencies will sound "bright" in comparison to speakers with a smooth response.
