Danish Acoustics Pristinum Series
Here’s a new player in the serious-audiophile side of car audio
Danish Acoustics is a line of SEAS-based speaker components made by a company in Singapore called Acoustic Technology. Yes, the Singapore car audio segment is dead serious. So first things first, SEAS you say? These must be good.
Pristinum literally means pure, uncorrupted, and in original condition. Clever.
From the Acoustic Technology website: “Accuracy is achieved when a system remains true to the intent of the recording. This is achieved by having very low levels of harmonic distortion with minimum time smearing and coloration.”
The Pristinum is offered as a 2-way passive set—the Pristinum 6.1, and as a 3-way semi-active set. The components are listed below.
Tweeter – TW2701
A high-resolution, wide bandwidth fabric dome tweeter using Scandinavian technology. High grade neodymium magnets are housed in an optimized tuned chamber. Inside the chamber are damping materials such as felt and acoustic wool. Free-air resonance goes as low as 1,080 Hz. Comes with a wedge mount kit for direct mounting.
Mid-woofer – PW165
A polypropylene cone midbass drive unit with a powerful and linear motor system. The copper clad aluminum voice coil increases power handling, bandwidth and lowers inductance. The voice coil is surround by powerful barium ferrite magnets keeping the flux energy concentrated at the magnetic gap. Rated at 80 watts with a maximum short term power of 250 watts. It has a frequency range of 50 to 4,500 Hz.
Crossover – XP 6.1
The crossover has an advanced serial network topology, and not only acts as a filter, but minimizes phase and lobbing errors. The tweeter and woofer are cascaded with reactive components which results in very minimal phase problems. This achieves a stage that is deep into the dash and not forward.
The Pristinum 6.1 2-way sells for around $700 USD.
