GRILLE

The CS2.3 grille is designed to not produce diffraction so there is no sonic

reason to remove it. If you do need to remove the grille, pull the bottom of

the grille frame away from the speaker an inch or so and then lift the grille

upward to remove it. When replacing the grille, first push the top down

onto the baffle and then push the bottom back.

The grilles can be cleaned of dust by using an upholstery attachment of a

vacuum cleaner. To prevent damage to the tweeter, take care not to push

the cloth in toward the top of the grille.

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.

CS2.3 specifications

Thiel Audio Products has long been recognized for its commitment to high-quality audio reproduction, and the CS2.3 speaker system stands as a testament to this dedication. Released as part of Thiel's renowned line of loudspeakers, the CS2.3 combines meticulous engineering with innovative technology to deliver an immersive listening experience that captivates audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

One of the standout features of the CS2.3 is its sophisticated driver configuration. It is equipped with a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter, designed to produce a frequency response that ranges from 38 Hz to 20 kHz. This broad frequency range ensures that listeners can enjoy deep bass notes while retaining clarity in the highs. The woofer employs a unique cone design that enhances stiffness and reduces distortion, allowing for more accurate sound reproduction.

Thiel's proprietary technologies significantly contribute to the CS2.3's performance. The company has implemented a time-and-phase coherent design, which ensures that all frequencies reach the listener's ears simultaneously. This approach creates a more realistic sound stage, making it easier for listeners to discern individual instruments and vocals within a mix. Furthermore, the cabinet of the CS2.3 is constructed from high-density MDF, which helps minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations, resulting in cleaner sound delivery.

Another hallmark of the CS2.3 is its elegant yet sturdy design. The speaker features a tapered cabinet shape, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also aids in reducing standing waves within the enclosure. The front baffle is meticulously treated to optimize dispersion characteristics, enhancing the overall listening experience. The finish options, including natural wood veneers and high-gloss designs, allow consumers to choose a look that complements their home decor.

In addition to its impressive acoustic performance, the CS2.3 offers versatility in positioning. Its relatively compact size makes it suitable for a wide variety of spaces without compromising sound quality. Whether used in a dedicated home theater or a two-channel audio system, the CS2.3 adapts well to different setups.

Overall, Thiel Audio Products' CS2.3 stands out for its remarkable sound quality, advanced engineering, and elegant design. Ideal for discerning listeners, it delivers an engaging and faithful audio experience that reflects the brand's legacy of excellence in high-fidelity audio.
