In designing Electra 1000 Be, the products technical
aspect was to be emphasised by its style. The new
pure Beryllium tweeter is highlighted by a moulded
aluminium alloy panel, with a function that is more
than just aesthetic. Its curved form, extends the
body of the speaker’s enclosure, and suppresses
the diffraction effect of sudden cabinet edges.
The sides of the cabinet are marked by a prominent
double radius that curves back to give the new enclosure
its character. Similarly, the curved sides are not
parallel, reducing the aspect of the speaker while
also avoiding the formation of the standing waves.
Finally, the port of the floor standing Electra
1027 Be is in the style of a sports car’s
grill, giving character to the design, but equally
presenting an excellent solution for eliminating
chuffing noises within the air flow. As with the
Profi le range, all technical elements and styling
issues have been given equal consideration, leading
to an object with a balanced and distinguished look
that suggests high performance.
