RAIDHO X1t

Compared to the standard X1, better components have been implemented resulting in a more open and clearer sound. The cabinet has been thoroughly redesigned, which means that the airflow and bass reflex port provide a much higher quality and bass output than its predecessor. The t in X1t stands for "Tantalum". Tantalum belongs to a class of metals known as refractory metals, which are defined by their strong resistance to heat and wear. It has a melting point of 2996 °C, the fourth highest of all metals. This makes the membrane much stiffer and stiffer without adding weight, and therefore raises the breakdown modes to an incredible 15 kHz.

The X1t can sound amazing in 80 m2 rooms, but for proper bass, Raidho Acoustics recommends no larger than 25 m2.

Raidho X Series Driver

The technology used in the X-Series driver is not only highly advanced and built in-house in Denmark, it is also a work of art. The result is that the speakers disappear even further from the equation, creating a soundscape with no audible distortion and a completely black background that will bring out the instruments and create a holographic soundstage. Raidho's Ceramix technology starts with a thin aluminium cone and then uses a liquid plasma process and incredibly high voltage to transform the outer layer of metal into aluminium oxide ceramic. It's a slow and expensive process, but the finished cone is a unique natural sandwich, with thin, stiff layers on either side of a "softer" aluminium core, creating a stiffer structure with excellent self-damping. Breaks first come in at an incredible 12.5 kHz. The motor system consists of strong neodymium magnets concentrated around a very open system, allowing driver ventilation with the benefit of cooling the titanium voice coil and eliminating some of the design that usually causes distortion.

The legendary Raidho ribbon tweeter

The proprietary ribbon tweeter is a unique Raidho design. It is completely designed and hand-built in-house in Denmark. To be exact, it is a planar magnetic tweeter due to the tracks in the foil. The foil has a thickness of 11 microns, which means that it has a mass 50 times less compared to a conventional dome tweeter. This is due to the fact that there is no voice coil and the extremely low weight of the foil (20 milligrams). The result is that there is virtually no resonance or distortion, and the break-up point is at an incredible 82 KHz! What you hear is an incredibly clear and natural sound - all the detail in the world, but with no fatigue, no distortion and no colouration!
