ICS 570

A COMPACT LCR FOR VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL

PLACEMENT IN AUDIO VIDEO CABINETS

The Snell ICS 570 is for applications where the performance of a freestanding tower is limited by room decor. All bookshelf and tower speakers sound “chesty and cupped” when placed into cabinets, millwork,

or bookshelf locations. With the ICS 570, Dr. Joseph D’Appolito, Snell’s chief engineer, cleverly configured a 6.5-inch D’Appolito Array to a utility enclosure specifically sized and tuned to integrate into most audio video furniture. With the two 6.5-inch poly woofers, 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a very compact 16.5-inch x 6.75-inch speaker enclosure, the ICS 570 is voiced to compensate for cabinet boundaries and off axis response. The result is an achievement in openness and clarity that matches today’s top freestanding designs. Built to withstand the rigors of today’s challenging movie soundtracks while upholding its “audiophile” pedigree when playing music, the ICS 570 is the perfect speaker to be heard and not seen.

ICS 570 specifications

The Snell Acoustics ICS 570 is a renowned high-performance loudspeaker that combines advanced technology with exceptional audio fidelity, making it a favorite among audiophiles and music enthusiasts. This floor-standing speaker exemplifies Snell’s commitment to quality and innovation in sound reproduction.

One of the standout features of the ICS 570 is its exceptional driver configuration. It employs a three-way design that integrates a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, a 6.5-inch midrange driver, and dual 8-inch woofers. This arrangement allows for a wide frequency response, ensuring that both high and low frequencies are rendered with clarity and precision. The tweeter is designed to deliver smooth highs without harshness, while the midrange driver produces a natural and detailed performance, making vocals and instruments sound remarkably lifelike.

The ICS 570 also incorporates advanced cabinet construction, which plays a crucial role in minimizing cabinet resonance and distortion. The enclosure is crafted from high-quality MDF, strategically braced to enhance rigidity and reduce unwanted vibrations. This design aspect ensures that the sound remains pure and uncolored, delivering an immersive listening experience.

Another significant characteristic of the ICS 570 is its sensitivity and power handling capabilities. With a sensitivity rating that allows for efficient sound reproduction, the ICS 570 can be driven effectively by a wide range of amplification systems. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for both high-end audiophile setups and more modest home audio systems.

Moreover, the speaker features gold-plated binding posts that accommodate a variety of cable types and ensure a secure connection. The rear-firing bass port design extends low-frequency response and enhances the speaker’s overall performance without compromising the soundstage.

In addition to its technical specifications, the ICS 570 boasts an elegant finish, available in various wood veneers that complement any home decor. The aesthetic appeal of the speaker aligns with its acoustic performance, making it a visually striking addition to any listening environment.

Overall, the Snell Acoustics ICS 570 stands out as a sophisticated loudspeaker that bridges the gap between form and function. Its blend of advanced driver technologies, superior cabinet construction, and aesthetic elegance make it a top choice for anyone seeking exceptional sound quality in their audio system.
