Israeli speaker manufacturer Morel has announced an upgrade to its Octave Signature series with an add-on subwoofer that turns its standmount model into a three-way floorstander.
The standard Octave Signature standmount speaker uses a 13cm bass/mid driver with a 76mm voice coil which has its magnet system placed inside. Morel says this offers deeper, more powerful bass. The tweeter consists of an Acuflex soft dome fitted with neodymium magnets, which apparently results in an “open and spacious sound”. There’s no damping within the cabinet, since Morel claims that its strategically placed partitions are enough.
The Octave Signature subwoofer features a brace of 23cm woofers that can be slotted beneath the standard speaker to turn it into a three-way floorstander. The crossover is set at 150Hz so the sub can comfortably handle the low end without any pressure being put on the standmount to improve power handling and allow the midrange to become more transparent.
There’s also a Morel Octave Signature centre channel so the speakers can be used in a complete 5.1 system.
Designed and built in Israel, all the Octave Signature speakers are available now in red, black or white piano gloss finishes.
