Canada

Between 1977 and 1986, the Canadian National Research Council ran a joint study with select Canadian speaker manufacturers to determine what measurable factors people equated with good-sounding loudspeakers. These listening trials indicated that flat frequency response, wide dispersion and low distortion were key factors. Energy, which is part of Klipsch Group, Inc., was actively involved in this project, and, with the results from this partnership, developed the Pro 22 speaker which became the benchmark for both NRC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In 1997 Energy introduced the Take 5 home theater system. In 2008, Energy released Take Classic 5.1 which Sound and Vision Magazine regarded as “a compact system that delivers beautiful sound and heavyweight value.” (ref.1) The Take Classic System was the first Energy product to be sold through a national retailer, The Source. 1990s. Home theaters gained increasing popularity in the late 1990s with the development of DVD-Video, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel audio and high-quality front video projectors. In the 2000s, developments such as high-definition video, Blu-ray Disc, and newer high-definition 3D display technologies enabled people to enjoy a cinematic feeling in their own home at a more-affordable price.

Function

Converts audio frequency electrical current into sound energy then radiates that sound through the air.

Technical

This loudspeaker contains a ‘tweeter’ and a ‘woofer’. A tweeter is a high-frequency driver that reproduces the highest frequencies in a speaker system. This soft-dome tweeter is a popular variety in home stereo systems. A woofer is a driver that reproduces low frequencies. The driver combines with the enclosure design to produce suitable low frequencies. This speaker is part of a 5.1 system which enables proper localization and equability of all acoustic sources for a centered positioned audience.
