El Diablo
“That might sound like a tweak here and a tweak there, but the sonic and musical impact of the changes is profound, the new El Diablo being significantly more articulate and faster on its feet than previous versions.” Gy8 – Roy Gregory
Peak El Diablo Loudspeaker
The El Diablo loudspeaker has been one of the most successful Peak products since its launch. The latest version is a complete redesign from the original. The cabinet, drive units and crossover are significantly improved. The objective was to create a musically balanced and expressive loudspeaker, capable of an expansive, room-filling performance, with minimal distortion, that still captivates the listener.
Although compact in size, the El Diablo provides robust, impactful bass while maintaining substantial low-frequency extension. The new design also optimizes linearity and simplifies setup.
Technical Highlights
- Twin custom built 20cm bass drivers in the well damped cabinet, deliver deeper, powerful and more accurate bass response and guarantees true reproduction of the lowest frequencies, whilst maintaining easy setup in a wide variety of room sizes.
- The linear impedance crossover design allows compatibility with a wide range of high-quality amplifiers, regardless of their power rating.
- The dense cabinet features a robust, inert multi-layer construction that eliminates colorations, ensuring accurate resolution and the reproduction of fine musical details.
- Four different adhesives in each cabinet, each selected for its specific mechanical properties, ensuring the construction is exacting and highly developed.
- Crossover components that are hardwired without the use of PCBs facilitate efficient high-current delivery and minimises mechanical vibrations, thereby preserving crucial musical detail.
- The crossover is mounted on three MDF boards (separating HF, MF & LF) in a sealed, sand-filled chamber to minimise microphonic issues and heat buildup.
- Four, double O-ring decoupled stainless steel feet equipped with internal ceramic ball bearings provide reliable and consistent performance on all types of floor surfaces.
- Argento™ speaker terminals deliver audiophile-quality performance with resonance-free construction.
