the technical background

takes advantage of the laws of acoustics

In acoustics, special rules apply when sound encounters large surfaces such as walls. When a speaker is placed near a wall, some of the sound reflects from the surface of the wall and blends with the sound it has already sent out into the room. An ordinary speaker will distort the sound if it isn't specifically designed to work in those conditions. This manifests itself, for example, in deep tones sounding fuzzy and voices sounding mumbled and incomprehensible. The acoustics in SA exact have been specially adapted to cope with large surfaces. The effects of the reflections were taken into account during the design and development stage, so SA exact works perfectly when hung on a wall, without passing on vibrations to the wall.

the SA W1404XL woofer

the special XL technology contains two voice coils in the speaker's motor system

the woofers use XL technology 

Each W1404XL woofer contains new technology, with two voice coils per engine instead of one. We call it XL technology both because the sound becomes "extra large" and because it excels. These small woofers are incredibly durable and precise because the various movable parts are cast together in the same mould, not glued in place like traditional woofers.

• XL technology uses two voice coils in each woofer to reproduce the deepest tones
• XL technology makes our woofers capable of reproducing far deeper bass than woofers using traditional technology
• membrane weight: 0.9 grams, corresponding to 25 % of the weight of an ordinary piece of A4 paper
• 12 mm piston stroke (membrane movement)
• cast aluminium chassis
• the W1404XL bass element is magnetically shielded
• XL technology is only available in SA speakers

the T2506XS tweeter is an acoustic masterpiece

Acoustics, precision engineering and musicality converge in the T2506XS tweeter to provide a fantastically subtle reproduction of every detail of the sound. With a weight of just 80 mg, the almost transparent membrane is possibly the lightest ever produced.

• XS technology means that a wave guide around the tweeter controls the sound dispersion so it is not reflected from the front plate and the edges of the cabinet. The wave guide is an advanced acoustic solution, which directs sound waves away from obstacles, simplifies the crossover network for the tweeter and improves the sound quality
• XS Technology ensures that the tweeter transmits sound over a greater area than traditional tweeters. You can move around, or sit in different places, and still experience a constant sound quality throughout the room. Ordinary tweeters give a focused beam of sound, meaning you have to sit right in front of the speaker to get the full benefit of the experience. XS technology extends the area in front of the speakers in which you can enjoy the best possible sound quality
• a 12 mm front plate made of cast aluminium serves as the vibration-free base from which the tweeter transmits information that requires precise membrane movements – all the way down to 0.0005 mm!!
• unique textile membrane weighing only 80 mg – possibly the lightest ever produced
• separate built-in chamber behind the membrane
• resonance caused by the sound from the rear of the membrane striking the bottom plate of the magnet is eliminated by small blocks of damping material, which can be seen through the semi-transparent membrane
• theT2506XS tweeter is magnetically shielded
• XS technology is only available in SA speakers
