WE WANT YOU LISTENING FOR A LIFETIME

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, THIEL and the Electronics Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Depending on room size and amplifier power, some home audio systems can reach sound pressure levels in excess of 95 decibels with peaks of over a 105 decibels. For your protection, the list below identifies sound levels for various noises.

CS2.4 specifications

Thiel Audio Products has long been synonymous with high-fidelity sound, and the CS2.4 model exemplifies this commitment to audio excellence. Launched as part of their flagship series, the CS2.4 speakers are designed for audiophiles who demand precision, clarity, and a natural listening experience.

One of the standout features of the CS2.4 speakers is their innovative design, which emphasizes both form and function. The speakers utilize a three-way configuration, incorporating a unique 1-inch silk dome tweeter, a 4-inch midrange driver, and dual 8-inch woofers. This configuration ensures a balanced frequency response, allowing listeners to appreciate a wide range of audio, from the delicate highs to rich bass.

The CS2.4 is engineered with proprietary technologies that set it apart in the realm of high-end audio. The drivers are meticulously crafted to minimize distortion and enhance linearity, ensuring that the sound produced is as true to the original recording as possible. Additionally, the speakers incorporate Thiel's phase-coherent design principles. This approach aligns the elements of sound reproduction to create a seamless and immersive listening experience.

Another significant characteristic of the CS2.4 is its robust cabinet construction. Made from dense, resonance-resistant materials, the cabinet minimizes unwanted vibrations that could muddy the audio output. The sleek and elegant design not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also contributes to the overall acoustic performance.

Connectivity options on the CS2.4 are versatile, accommodating a variety of audio sources. With both standard binding posts and bi-wiring capabilities, users can customize their setup to suit their specific needs. The CS2.4 is also compatible with different amplifier types, making it a flexible choice for diverse systems.

In terms of performance, the CS2.4 speakers excel in creating a three-dimensional soundstage. With their exceptional imaging and clarity, they allow listeners to discern subtle nuances in music that are often lost in lesser speakers. This level of detail enhances the overall listening experience, making the CS2.4 ideal for critical listening sessions as well as enjoying casual music playback.

In summary, Thiel Audio Products' CS2.4 speakers represent a perfect marriage of advanced technology and elegant design. With their refined drivers, phase-coherent design, robust cabinet construction, and versatile connectivity, they deliver an unparalleled audio experience that satisfies even the most discerning audiophiles. Whether used in dedicated listening rooms or integrated into home theatres, the CS2.4 continues to uphold Thiel’s legacy of high-quality sound reproduction.
