About the Compact One
The TAD Compact Reference One TAD-CR1TX is a three-way, bass-reflex stand-mount loudspeaker designed around TAD’s CST (Coherent Source Transducer), which combines a 16 cm midrange cone and 3.5 cm dome tweeter in a concentric arrangement for controlled directivity and coherent phase response. A 20 cm woofer uses TAD’s Tri-Laminate Composite Cone and Optimized Field Geometry Magnet Structure. The SILENT (Structurally Inert Laminated Enclosure Technology) cabinet combines birch plywood and laminated MDF construction, while the flared bass-reflex port is shaped to reduce turbulence and port noise. The speaker has a 32 Hz–100 kHz frequency range, 86 dB sensitivity, 4-ohm rated impedance, 200 W maximum input, and crossover points at 250 Hz and 2 kHz. Its dimensions are 341 × 628 × 446 mm (W × H × D), and its weight is 46 kg.
