Featuring twin 200mm bass drivers and an 85mm BMR in a 60 Litre enclosure, the Ovator S-600 is designed for larger listening rooms and for use with upper echelon Naim amplification. With bass extension down to 28Hz and maximum levels that can do full justice to the dynamic range of live music up close, the Ovator S-600 offers the ultimate in wide bandwidth and dynamic music making.
Hardened floor spikes
Surgical grade, anti-magnetic, stainless steel M8 floor spikes define the vital mechanical connection between the speaker and the floor of the listening environment.
FEA modelled driver chassis
Ovator bass drivers feature rigid paper cones, natural rubber surrounds and aluminium demodulations rings within their neodymium magnet systems. The S-600 bass drivers additionally incorporate generous pole-piece ventilation. The linearity and resistance to compression of both Ovator models' bass drivers is outstanding.
Computer-modelled crossover
The crossover incorporates state of the art components including laminated and air-cored inductors, and metallised polypropylene capacitors.
Decoupling leaf spring
A steel leaf-spring provides the connection between the enclosure and plinth and decouples above 12Hz.
Die-cast plinth
The pressure die-cast plinth incorporates enclosure locations, housing for the crossover, and floor spike fittings with top-access adjustment.
Rigid multi-composite enclosure
The enclosure is constructed from a combination of 25mm and 50mm panels comprehensively braced to provide a rigid, non-resonant and low diffraction reference plane for the drivers. Selected panels also benefit from strategic mass-damping, and the internal bracing includes a division that creates separate loading volumes for each bass driver.
Computer-optimised bass driver
The Ovator S-600 bass driver features a rigid paper cone and natural rubber surround together with aluminium demodulation rings within the magnet system and generous pole-piece ventilation. Its linearity and resistance to compression is outstanding.
BMR Isolating Enclosure
The BMR is mounted in a 12.7mm wall thickness extruded aluminium cylinder nested within the main enclosure. The cylinder, extending the full depth of the enclosure, is gradient-filled with damping materials selected through technical analysis and critical listening.
BMR driver
The BMR driver comprises a honeycomb diaphragm driven by a voice-coil immersed in a twin-neodymium magnet system optimised for linearity through finite-element analysis. The pressure die-cast chassis provides the rigidity necessary to ensure that every last note of musical detail is accurately reproduced.
BMR Suspension
The module comprising the BMR and its enclosure is suspended within the main enclosure by twin circular duralumin plate leaf-springs - one at the front of the enclosure and one at the rear. The resulting suspension system decouples above 4Hz - more than six octaves below the BMR pass-band.
