Phase Technology's newest premium loudspeaker is a handsome floor-standing three-way model that represents the acclaimed speaker manufacturer's most advanced technology and design profile.Model PC-9.1 is the newest member of the company's Premier Collection of upscale home entertainment speakers. The PC speaker family also includes bookshelf, center channel, multi-purpose and rear channel surround speakers.These new models will be displayed at CES 2001 at the Las Vegas Hilton, booth D9605. The PC-9.1 ($900.00 each suggested retail) is expected to be available in March - all other new PC models are now shipping.New Design, Three Wood FinishesThe Premier Collection models are highlighted by a highly stylized design with softly rounded edges that invite a finger's touch. They are offered in Natural Cherry, Honey Oak and Black Ash furniture-grade real wood finishes - their striking geometric black grilles narrow at top and bottom and flare in the middle.Model PC-9.1 combines high-performance specifications with a bold but elegant appearance for front-channel home theatre speakers. This new model, the flagship of the Premier Collection, embodies the company's bywords, ""The Value of Handcrafted Quality.""The PC-9.1's include three 6-inch Kevlarô-laminated RPF solid flat-piston drivers finished with butyl rubber surrounds. Also included are a 1-inch user-adjustable variable-axis soft-dome tweeter (a patented Phase Technology invention) with Unicellô anti-diffraction treatment plus a 1 1/2-inch soft-dome midrange driver. The speakers are 44 inches tall by 8 1/2 inches wide by 12-inches deep.Absolute Phaseô CrossoversEvery Premier Collection speaker features Phase Technology's Absolute Phaseô crossovers, an exclusive technology that offers a high degree of latitude for front, center and rear speaker placement. This ensures that every listener will hear every musical note and soundtrack passage clearly, regardless of seating position. It enables placing any Phase Technology speaker vertically or horizontally, and even mix different models, and still have maximum performance and clarity in any home theatre. These crossovers ensure that the speaker drivers are acoustically and electronically ""in-phase"" and thus moving in unison. This is especially apparent when a sound effect moves from left to center to right, or vice versa. The transition is heard as a smooth flow from one speaker to the next, creating a large, well-defined soundstage with precise imaging and increased depth of field.Vertical axis dispersion is also maintained, no matter where the speakers are positioned. This is especially noteworthy for center channel speakers placed horizontally, enabling listeners to be off-axis, on either side of center, and hear clear, intelligible dialogue.For more information about Phase Technology Corporation, visit www.phasetech.com.
