UPDATE Further extensive experiments with the BBC thin-wall cabinet technique have led to the development of our new loudspeaker, the Jordan Marlow. Full details are available on our Loudspeakers page. Meanwhile, here is the blog which started it all. The BBC LS3/5a monitoring loudspeaker is a true hi-fi classic. …
Ted Jordan designed the VTL loudspeaker enclosure in the early 1990s. It used the Jordan JX92S full-range drive unit and saw commercial success as the Konus Essence. It has enjoyed a long life among manufacturers and DIY constructors, and continues to do so with the arrival of the Jordan Eikona …
One of Ted Jordan’s most popular systems was the Linear Array. This vertical arrangement of four Jordan 50mm units gave many of the benefits of a taller, floor-to-ceiling line source but at much lower cost. The 50mm Module Array required an additional bass system but a Jordan Eikona Array is a stand-alone system. Four Eikonas are …
Last time we looked at a line array speaker system using 16 Jordan Eikonas per enclosure. Whilst capable of terrific performance, a 2.5m high loudspeaker may be more than many people (and rooms) require. One of the requirements when assembling a loudspeaker array is to ensure that the total impedance of …
In 1962, Ted Jordan designed the Jordan-Watts Module to work as both a stand-alone loudspeaker and a versatile audio building block. He revisited this idea, 50 years later, with the development of the Jordan Eikona. Combining a high quality, full-range driver in multiples or with other units gives tremendous design …
