Model-1 Signature

About the Model-1 Signature

The Totem Acoustic Model 1 Signature is a compact, high-quality two-way loudspeaker designed for audiophiles seeking detailed imaging and balanced sound. It features a 6.5" proprietary mid/woofer with a cellulose-acrylate cone, 3" voice coil, cast-aluminum frame, and neodymium magnet, paired with a 1" SEAS aluminum-titanium alloy dome tweeter with a rear chamber to reduce resonances. The crossover is a second-order design at approximately 2.5-2.7 kHz, using premium components such as air-core inductors, Dale, RCD, Archromic resistors, Cornell-Dubilier Orange Drop film capacitors, and ClarityCap paper-in-oil capacitors. The cabinet is made of 3/4" MDF with lock-miter joints and multi-layer borosilicate damping for reduced resonance. It is bi-wireable via twin pairs of WBT gold-plated binding posts. The speaker is praised for its excellent imaging, natural off-axis response, and ability to vanish in the listening environment, making it suitable for both music and home theater applications. The Model 1 Signature was produced from 1997 until 2008 and is now discontinued.
