NEAT MOMENTUM JET LOUDSPEAKERS, MORE INFO, SPECS AND PRICING

County Durham-based Neat Acoustics have launched the Neat Momentum Jet series.

The Neat Momentum Jet Loudspeakers will officially launch at the North West Audio Show 2024, this weekend, but we now have more info, specs and prices.

NEAT MOMENTUM JET LOUDSPEAKERS

Initially comprising two models, one stand-mount and one floorstander, the Momentum speakers are based on the company’s flagship Ultimatum range.

EMT TWEETER AND ISOBARIC BASS

The main changes from the Ultimatum models are the use of MDF cabinets instead of Finnish birch ply and the replacement of the dual 25mm soft dome/EMIT super-tweeter arrangement with the “JET” AMT tweeter. The bass-mid drive unit has been carried over, along with the distinctive decoupled sub-baffle which helps reduce the effects of cabinet resonance.

Both models also feature the Ultimatum’s hallmark Isobaric bass loading technique for exceptionally extended and well-defined low frequencies.

NEAT MOMENTUM J-S

This stand mount is essentially a slightly more compact and simplified version of the Ultimatum XLS.

The front baffle, which is coupled to the cabinet via a polyethylene membrane, houses the tweeter and an Ultimatum type 170mm drive unit handling bass and midrange frequencies. Inside, mounted behind the main drive unit, is another identical unit. The space between these units is sealed, in isobaric configuration.

The rear port is a low-Q type, which also incorporates an acoustic filter to restrict airflow and give greater control to bass frequencies.

 The crossovers are all hard wired, with point-to-point connections to maximise integrity. The components are of premium audiophile quality and include high voltage polypropylene capacitors and low loss air-cored inductors.

 The Momentum J-S can be easily accommodated in small rooms, yet it is also capable of filling larger spaces with the ease of a large floorstanding model, Neat tell us.

NEAT MOMENTUM J-S SPECS

FREQUENCY RESPONSE Room-averaged stereo pair 22Hz – 22kHz

NEAT MOMENTUM J-6

The Momentum J-6 is a 2.5-way design based on the configuration of the Ultimatum XL6.

The upper section houses the AMT tweeter and Neat’s own ‘R3’ unit handling bass and midrange, thus acting as a sealed 2-way loudspeaker in its own right. This is sectioned off from the lower section, which features two downward-facing 170 mm drive units in isobaric configuration, handling only the very low bass frequencies as if it were an integrated subwoofer.

The addition of the Ultimatum style plinth gives great stability to the enclosure, aiding stereofocus.

In common with all Neat loudspeakers, the crossover components are all hard-wired, with point-to-point connections in order to maximise integrity. The components are of premium audio quality, carefully chosen for their contribution to the cohesion of the overall performance.
