lCS2.2 specifications

Thiel Audio Products has long been synonymous with high-fidelity sound, and the CS2.2 serves as a testament to the company’s dedication to audio excellence. This loudspeaker model, which debuted in the 1990s, remains a sought-after choice for audiophiles seeking an immersive listening experience. The CS2.2 combines innovative technologies with meticulous engineering, delivering a sound that is both lifelike and dynamic.

At the heart of the CS2.2 is its proprietary coaxial driver design, which features a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter mounted within a 6.5-inch aluminum cone woofer. This unique arrangement allows for precise phase coherence and improved imaging, ensuring that sound waves reach the listener's ears at the same time. The result is a more cohesive soundstage, allowing listeners to hear the subtle nuances in music, from the softest whispers to the grandest crescendos.

Another standout feature of the CS2.2 is its use of an advanced crossover network. This system is meticulously designed to manage frequency distribution effectively, providing a seamless transition between the woofer and tweeter. With a transition frequency of 2,000 Hz, the CS2.2 maintains clarity and detail across the audible spectrum, delivering a balanced sound that does not sacrifice warmth or detail.

Construction quality is paramount in the CS2.2, which features a sturdy cabinet made from thick MDF to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations. The speakers are also finished with a choice of real wood veneers, elevating both their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Additionally, the CS2.2 features a rear-firing bass port design, allowing for extended low-frequency response without distorting the music’s tonal balance.

The CS2.2 is engineered for versatility, making it suitable for various listening environments. Whether you are setting up a dedicated listening room, a home theater, or integrating the speakers into a multi-room sound system, the CS2.2 performs consistently across different conditions.

Overall, the Thiel Audio CS2.2 embodies the brand's commitment to audio fidelity with its innovative driver technologies, sophisticated crossover design, and robust construction. It remains a compelling option for those who seek a high-quality listening experience, reinforcing why Thiel Audio has earned its reputation as a leader in the audio industry.
