About the Pathway
First showcased in High-End Munich 2022, PATHWAY is based on an innovative enclosure design principle - hte Under-Excited Transmission Line (UETL). It is not only cleaner and faster in the low and low-mid range than conventional transmission lines, but also works exceedingly well at a very high motor strength/moving mass ratio systems.
The Construction
The PATHWAY is a fully passive, two-and-a-half-way design, consisting of two separate cabinets, isolated and stacked on top of each other. The SCALEAX coaxial speaker is located in the top unit which radiates full range. In the lower section, there is a 12-inch woofer, rear-facing, with similar parameters as the Scaleax driver. But this driver is offset to the optimal position on the lower UETL axis. Thus, the typically messy overlap in the 2 and 1/2 way systems is completely cleared. It supports the range below 250 Hz, so a sensitivity of 96 dB/W can be achieved. This, combined with the impedance curve kept in mind at the design stage, makes it exceedingly well behaved in combination with tubes.
The passive crossover network in the plinth is housed in an acoustically separated cavity. The woofer section contains an electrically first-order filter circuit. The crossover of the low-midrange and the high range is second order. The components used are of very high quality, selected through careful listening tests in the final stages of development. Rotary switches are used to adjust the final balance to the room's acoustic conditions. The connection between the plinth and the top box is achieved by the supplied carbon cables.
The cabinets are made of premium quality beech multiplex plywood. This, combined with the strategic and functional stiffeners, makes the structure extremely robust.
The typical lower room response is around 30 Hz, with an upper cut-off frequency of 24 kHz.
