The lack of a cabinet, large membrane surface and line source provides a completely unique experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Popori WR1 SE is certainly a speaker to be reckoned with at the very top of its price range.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eBUILD QUALITY\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSOLID AND THOUGHTFUL CONSTRUCTION DETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe structural elements of the speakers from Popori are made of solid materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaterials are used to shape the speaker's body that are ideal for the purpose, both acoustically and structurally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe base is made from CNC machined solid steel legs and a 6mm thick laser cut steel plate. A solid weight ensures sufficient stability and centre of balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe panels are attached with screws, eliminating the disadvantages of gluing used in other electrostatic speakers. Bonding can lead to degradation or even loss of sound quality and performance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe membrane material is UV-resistant, moderately heat-resistant and is not affected by moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ensures lasting and reliable operation. The diaphragm in the Popori WR1 SE weighs much less than typical diaphragms for speakers on the market that are made with more traditional technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThanks to the electrostatic push-pull operating principle, the efficiency is extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCorrectly tuned and damped construction guarantees low distortion of the emitted sound, which in turn provides excellent sound reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePANEL TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePERFECTION IS THE KEY\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThanks to modern technology, Popori's speakers are built with precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a prerequisite for creating the best possible sound reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe distance between the diaphragm and the stator is crucial for sound quality and performance. Inaccuracy is unacceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStrings and foil are stitched to perfection, and thorough CNC machining guarantees perfectly parallel surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis creates the perfect static field that ensures uncompromising performance at all points on the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch1\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Frequency response: 35-22,000 Hz (300hz-10khz +\/-1db)      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Sensitivity: 96 dB      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Maximum sound pressure: 110 dB      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Impedance: min. 3 Ohm (max 8ohm)      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        THD: \u0026lt;0.1%      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Weight: 49 kg \/ pc.      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Panel dimensions: 1750 mm x 540 mm x 36 mm      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e        Full dimensions: 1793 mm x 540 mm x 436 mm      \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e ","brand":"POPORI","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":52739740401930,"sku":"POPORI-204","price":55900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52739740434698,"sku":"POPORI-205","price":55900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/popori-wr1-se-electrostatic-loudspeaker-42537-p.webp?v=1773933208","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/pop-wr1se","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
