Studio Series - Single Horn BEN

All Cain & Cain "studio series" systems require the use of the finest materials available. Case panels are laminated to desired thicknesses of void free plywood and very thin 1/8" layers of composite board in house. These 1-1/4" side panels are the most rigid wooden panels possible. Many of the panels used, are industrial panels only available mill direct and used by manufacturers to create the finest products possible. The extensive use of solid wood creates a richly defined structure, music is the benefit Of course all this material is processed on the finest machinery available.

The new Fostex drivers are without peer. Old notions of what a single driver should aspire or compare to are now really old. Fostex has created something very special in these drive units. Only with the finest design and execution of cabinetry, can these drivers potential be realized. It's an honor to have available such a fine example of engineering artistry, as is found in the Fostex drivers. Of all the drivers in the world available, these are what I choose to use and reside in my work. They represent a balance of what is possible. It is this balance in all aspects that characterize these drivers, construction and sound. They measure very well, and they sound very good. Their high efficiency allows optimum use with amps as little as a watt or two illuminating the virtues of simple amplification. Conversely with higher wattage they can fill even the largest of rooms with more dynamics and sounfeild than most direct radiator systems while maintaining clarity most dream of. Clearly they represent the best attributes of direct radiators with superb imaging, and a strong foothold in the realm of unlimited dynamics and efficiency only horns offer. Our goal is to offer the absolute finest reproduction and clarity, with the finest aesthetics and construction possible.
