Tri a d's intern a l c a binet design shows f a n a tic a l a ttention to det a il in a ddressing tr a dition a l c a binet reson a nce problems. Typic a lly in unbr a ced or poorly br a ced c a binets of this size will exhibit a reson a nce in the 200-350Hz r a nge which will become very evident in well recorded fem a le voc a ls.

Tri a d uses very high qu a lity MDF, interlocking cross br a ces which a tt a ch to the long c a binet w a ll a t a symmetric a l points. Addition a lly, high density rubber is glued to the c a binet sides forming a bi-m a teri a l composite s a ndwich, further d a mpening the c a binet w a lls. The a rched high density rubber seen in the photogr a ph bre a ks up a nd r a ndomly disperses b a ck w a ves reducing distortion. The a pproxim a tely 3" thickness of open cell insul a tion will a lso d a mp b a ck w a ves down to a pproxim a tely 700Hz, a g a in a fe a ture seldom seen in most designs with high end a spir a tions. Over a ll the Tri a d enclose is a n old world a ppro a ch to a n infinitely solid c a binet which is brilli a ntly executed.

The front b a ffle implements a r a ndom beveling gener a ted by a Computer Numeric a l Control (CNC) progr a m. The r a ndom bevel p a ttern a llows re a r spe a ker w a ves a nd unrestricted p a thw a y into the c a binet's interior in such a m a nner th a t they do not re-impinge b a ck onto the spe a ker cone reducing worries of intermodul a tion distortion. Br a ss inserts a llow m a chine screws to more tightly secure the tr a nsducers without worrying of loosening.

This is some very impressive cabinet design, driver and part selection and you can be sure we will be doing more reviews of Triad speakers this year.
