MELLOW ACOUSTICS ANNOUNCE THE FRONTRO PRO HYBRID ELECTROSTATIC LOUDSPEAKER

The British hybrid loudspeaker brand launches the new Mellow Acoustics FrontRo Pro.

Mellow Acoustics has been assessing its FrontRo hybrid electrostatic speaker with regard to pleasing those enthusiasts who expressed a requirement for more bass response to suit their musical choices.

MELLOW ACOUSTICS FRONTRO PRO

“While the Frontro has been acclaimed for its wonderful reproduction abilities by many people whose choice is for classical or jazz music primarily, we have listened to those who have found the bass too light for their tastes.” Said designer, Tim Mellow, “In response we have re-analysed the bass setup and made two main alterations.”

BIGGER WOOFER

The changes include the woofer being upgraded from 5.25 inches to a 6.5-inch unit with even greater excursion. In addition, the crossover has been lowered from 600 Hz to 400 Hz for a more transparent midrange from the electrostatic unit. The revised units will be known as the FrontRo Pro edition.

FrontRo is a uniquely compact electrostatic loudspeaker, suitable for even quite small rooms. The sound is produced by a light gossamer film in free space. It is the closest thing to moving air directly with no cones, domes, heavy coils or boxes to mar the sound.

MADE IN BRITAIN

The FrontRo is a hybrid electrostatic design with a circular electrostatic unit, about the size of a vinyl LP, above a conventional dynamic woofer in a pyramid-shaped box. The FrontRo claims to be the only British-built electrostatic loudspeaker, with a design that proudly boasts its British heritage, built by hand in England
