Only the very best speaker components were considered for Pioneer’s new audio masterpiece: the EX series. So it’s no surprise
that TAD (Technical Audio Devices) speaker design is incorporated into these reference-class units. They were crafted with
extreme precision by TAD experts, and adhere to their rigorous standards. TAD professional studio monitoring loudspeakers are
first choice in recording studios across the globe. They have set a standard for audio excellence and reliability, as recognised by
many world-famous performers and professional sound engineers.
The legacy began 30 years ago, and now TAD speakers can be found wherever the highest sound quality is required: studio
monitors, concert hall speakers, cinema audio systems, and more.

TAD speaker
The EX series speakers were designed with such attention to detail, every element of the speaker units was
considered so they can reproduce exceptionally accurate audio. The tweeter diaphragm is composed of Beryllium
metal which is light and extremely rigid. This has resulted in an ultra-strong tweeter diaphragm with perfectly
solid piston performance. It precisely reproduces the audio signal; absolutely no distortion or resonance is added
to the audio performance. No other high-end audio loudspeaker today can match the damping characteristics of
these speakers. It is this — pure and solid performing diaphragm — which makes Beryllium tweeters ideal for reproducing the
high frequencies of DVD-Audio and SACD, up to 100 kHz. These revolutionary audio formats recreate sound as it actually exists
in the real world, with all its original artistic qualities intact. The Beryllium tweeters enable rich and true DVD-Audio and SACD
sound reproduction, covering large bandwidths and a wide dynamic range.
