TAD MICRO EVOLUTION ONE

Pre owned. In excellent condition. No visible signs of wear. Supplied with accessories, without original packaging.

The Micro Evolution One is a high-end stand-mounted loudspeaker that brings into the home the expertise and know-how developed by Technical Audio Devices Laboratories in the professional audio sector, while maintaining a design philosophy focused on maximum precision and sonic coherence.

The design features a sophisticated three-way configuration in a compact format, allowing full-range performance without requiring large cabinets. The low frequencies are handled by a 160 mm woofer with a multi-layered aramid fiber cone, engineered for rigidity, lightness, and precise control. Bass loading uses a proprietary dual-exit aero-dynamic system that channels airflow through side openings to slots at the front and rear, delivering accurate, extended, and natural-sounding bass.

The midrange and high frequencies are reproduced by a CST concentric driver, a distinctive solution that combines midrange and tweeter at the same point of emission. The magnesium midrange cone houses a 25 mm beryllium dome tweeter at its center, ensuring perfect temporal and spatial coherence. This design eliminates the typical discontinuities of conventional systems and produces a stable, detailed, and uniform soundstage, even off-axis.

The acoustic alignment of the drivers is optimized thanks to the concentric arrangement, reducing phase issues in the crossover region and improving the naturalness of the sound. The midrange cone also acts as a waveguide for the tweeter, enhancing dispersion and creating a wide, credible soundstage.

The cabinet is constructed from a combination of Baltic birch plywood and MDF, internally reinforced with a steel plate that increases rigidity and mass. This structure minimizes unwanted vibrations and preserves the purity of the acoustic signal. High-quality terminals on the rear panel allow bi-wiring or bi-amping, offering maximum integration flexibility.

The aesthetic design is minimalist and refined, with a glossy piano black finish complemented by matte details. The drivers remain visible, protected by a discreet metal grille, highlighting the technical and distinctive character of the speaker.

Dedicated stands are engineered for stability and optimal coupling, with a robust structure and internally optimized mass. Direct attachment of the speakers to the stands ensures security and control, further enhancing overall performance.

Overall, the Micro Evolution One is a compact yet highly advanced loudspeaker, capable of delivering precise, coherent, and highly refined sound, representing the direct application of TAD’s engineering tradition to high-level home listening.
