PIANO
The cabinet of the TIDAL Piano is made out of TIDAL’s proprietary cabinet material TIRADUR. This cabinet material does combines the rigidity of hard materials such as metal with the resonance absorbing behavior of softer materials such as wooden materials like MDF.
It is the only advanced cabinet material allowing to use organic surfaces such as our famous polished veneers as well as true polyester piano lacquer. So when you see the Piano in the most beautiful pyramided mahogany ebony macassar or our shiny black piano finish – don’t make the mistake to think the cabinet is out of wooden materials or MDF. And yes this is why such a modest sized speaker weighs a whopping 65 Kg (143 lbs.).
The Piano uses the very same Accuton 30mm pure diamond diaphragm tweeter like from our top models. Not only it is the biggest diamond tweeter in the world TIDAL also was the very first company at all using a 30mm diamond tweeter. While the driver itself offers already terrific qualities and is being installed in a massive housing out of polished stainless steel for optimized resonance control – only in combination with our unique TIDAL crossovers this driver can perform in way what we have become famous for.Maybe interesting to know on a side note: this very same diamond tweeter technology is being used also in the worlds most exclusive car the Bugatti Chiron.
