Again, subject to many years of research, development, testing and continuous innovation, the mid and bass drivers feature a new advanced fiber composition, aptly labeled 'Reveal™'. Refined for seamless integration with the 'True Ribbon' HF, the smooth diaphragm drivers were purpose selected based on their rigidity and excellent self-damping properties. This new diaphragm, combined with a new, specially developed custom rubber surround, for a greater excursion and a new high-power motor system, means that the result is a superb bass performance, with power, depth, speed and articulation in abundance. And, of course, putting it all together is a phase-compensated Acoustic Butterworth crossover resulting from not only Computer-Aided Design but also hundreds of hours of critical listening tests using all types and flavors of music to achieve perfection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--21767346520406__ec2797a6-e1a3-4b10-b97d-9d0dbef6dd7c\" class=\"shopify-section section\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-template--21767346520406__ec2797a6-e1a3-4b10-b97d-9d0dbef6dd7c-padding gradient color-accent-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-width\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text image-with-text--no-overlap isolate collapse-corners\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__grid grid grid--gapless grid--1-col grid--2-col-tablet\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text-item grid__item\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"ImageWithText--template--21767346520406__ec2797a6-e1a3-4b10-b97d-9d0dbef6dd7c\" class=\"image-with-text__content image-with-text__content--middle image-with-text__content--desktop-left image-with-text__content--mobile-center image-with-text__content--adapt content-container gradient color-scheme-26cecc69-06cb-4472-9595-2bd63215e1d9\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text rte body\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePolished to Perfection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Revela series continues QUAD's industrial design evolution, sported in the models of recent years – such as the Vena and Artera series.

Its design stems from the belief that traditional tone and EQ controls are inadequate and clumsy when adjusting tonal balance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--23297653899606__video_with_text_RfzwWq\" class=\"shopify-section section\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-template--23297653899606__video_with_text_RfzwWq-padding gradient color-accent-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-width\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text image-with-text--no-overlap isolate collapse-corners\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__grid grid grid--gapless grid--1-col grid--2-col-tablet image-with-text__grid--reverse\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__media-item image-with-text__media-item--medium image-with-text__media-item--top grid__item\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text_fit_contain image-with-text__media image-with-text__media--medium global-media-settings gradient color-scheme-26cecc69-06cb-4472-9595-2bd63215e1d9 image-with-text__media--placeholder placeholder\"\u003e The Tilt control differs in that it adjusts both ends of the frequency spectrum together, either attenuating the bass and lifting the treble, or lifting the bass and attenuating the treble in 1dB steps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Essentially, it rotates – or tilts – the audible frequency range on a 700Hz axis, thereby adjusting the overall sound balance with 'warm' or 'cool' hints without altering volume or adding color to the sound.

The power supply incorporates five regulated supply rails, including multiple ultra-low-noise regulators with extensive measures employed to prevent contamination and cross-coupling. Following traditional QUAD practices, the core signal path is short and direct to preserve signal purity, and volume is adjusted purely in the analogue domain under microprocessor control. No one will champion the virtues of the original QUAD 33 more than QUAD, ourselves.

These tactile rotary controllers provide volume control, source selection, bass control, QUAD 'tilt' control and balance adjustment. The bass adjust allows +\/-3dB adjustment of the low-end frequencies, adding richness and depth or removing rumble according to your components, system or room. But the 'Tilt' control differs by adjusting both ends of the frequency spectrum together, either attenuating the bass and lifting the treble or lifting the bass and attenuating the treble in 1dB steps.

Refined for seamless integration with the 'True Ribbon' HF, the smooth diaphragm drivers were purpose selected based on their rigidity and excellent self-damping properties. This new diaphragm, combined with a new, specially developed custom rubber surround, for a greater excursion and a new high-power motor system, means that the result is a superb bass performance, with power, depth, speed and articulation in abundance. And, of course, putting it all together is a phase-compensated Acoustic Butterworth crossover resulting from not only Computer-Aided Design but also hundreds of hours of critical listening tests using all types and flavors of music to achieve perfection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--21767346553174__ec2797a6-e1a3-4b10-b97d-9d0dbef6dd7c\" class=\"shopify-section section\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-template--21767346553174__ec2797a6-e1a3-4b10-b97d-9d0dbef6dd7c-padding gradient color-accent-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-width\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text image-with-text--no-overlap isolate collapse-corners\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__grid grid grid--gapless grid--1-col grid--2-col-tablet\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text-item grid__item\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"ImageWithText--template--21767346553174__ec2797a6-e1a3-4b10-b97d-9d0dbef6dd7c\" class=\"image-with-text__content image-with-text__content--middle image-with-text__content--desktop-left image-with-text__content--mobile-center image-with-text__content--adapt content-container gradient color-scheme-26cecc69-06cb-4472-9595-2bd63215e1d9\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text rte body\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePolished to Perfection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Revela series continues QUAD's industrial design evolution, sported in the models of recent years – such as the Vena and Artera series.

More than just a genuinely stunning furniture-quality piece of craftsmanship, the cabinet is internally braced, using a purpose-engineered structure connected to the cabinet panels in a manner that dissipates unwanted vibrations and resonances, thus maintaining structural rigidity, even under the most strenuous of performances.

The original 33 and its partner 303 were awarded with a 'Council of Industrial Design Award in 1969'. Even today, the original design is celebrated and confirmed by its presence at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The new 33 and 303 have been industrially engineered to surpass those original standards, with a truly modern appearance and functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCircuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, much like the original, the new QUAD 303 maintains its fidelity to the original by employing the famous QUAD 'symmetrical triples'.

A modest but honest output, the 303's venerability is in the finesse of the performance, not just the raw power. The new model is thoroughly the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHowever, with some tweaking and enhancements, the 303 is loaded with a little extra power – offering 50W @ 8 ohms (70W @ 4 ohms) with a maximum current delivery of 10A into difficult loads. The original 303 was known to have issues with lower impedance loads, the new 303 has no such problem. Perfectly suited to the more demanding requirements of the modern audiophile, it ensures any speakers – even including QUAD's electrostatic designs – can be driven with ease. Connectivity options include single-ended RCA and balanced XLR inputs, a 12V trigger input and high-quality speaker binding posts. Simple, solid and thoroughly authentic, inside and out. The power output for 'bridged mode' (for use as a mono-block power amplifier) reaches 140W @ 8 ohms or 170W @ 4 ohms (bridged mono).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe industrial design of the new QUAD 303 is instantly recognizable and is 'true QUAD'.

This sophisticated arrangement produces an exceptionally precise stereo image, in which instruments and vocal performances appear to hover within the auditory environment — akin to being enveloped by the musicians themselves.

Together, these components form an integrated unit designed for optimal performance and reliability. By physically segregating the 5.25 kV multiplier stage from the sensitive low-voltage circuits, QUAD significantly diminishes stray high-voltage electric fields. This isolation strategy not only minimizes interference and crosstalk but also markedly enhances stability and noise performance. The resulting effect is crystal-clear audio signals that faithfully reveal every nuance, even during powerful musical peaks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv\u003eSecondly, it is important to note that, specifically for the ESL X, QUAD has reverted to using UK-manufactured audio transformers. These transformers are of a meticulous custom-specified designed, refined, and supervised in quality control by QUAD's renowned service team, led by Rob Flain. The transformers are purpose-engineered to improve signal dynamics, particularly within the mid and high-frequency ranges. This results in a sound that is considerably more detailed, and exceptionally high linearity is achieved. The wide bandwidth ensures a flat response extending beyond 18 kHz, creating an effortless sense of airiness and extension.

Under the expert leadership of Paul McConville, (a gentleman recognized as the world's foremost authority in QUAD ESL engineering, with 40 years of experience), every aspect of the original design underwent a comprehensive evaluation and meticulous refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis approach encompassed a thorough analysis of every process, step, technique, material, tool, and jig employed in the construction of a QUAD ESL, with the aim of improving the quality and precision of the electrostatic loudspeaker assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Leveraging techniques such as advanced laser-precision metrology, QUAD undertook an exhaustive review of the foundation of the ESL design. Systematic enhancements were implemented in the processes of spraying, etching, tensioning, and assembly to ensure peak performance. Rigorous upgrades were applied to implement both passive and active components, enhancing the overall system integrity of the then-current ESL 2912 and 2812 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The team of QUAD engineers considered the results of this lengthy and time-consuming self-appointed audit so significant that they deemed it worthy of a new model in the lineage of the ESL program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIt is widely accepted that enhancing an ESL is fundamentally an exercise in building upon existing frameworks through incremental improvements rather than pursuing radical innovations. Consequently, QUAD did not require a complete overhaul of established methods. Nevertheless, these incremental advancements have now culminated in a significant transformation of the 2912 and 2812 models into what is now known as ESL X.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1957, QUAD founder Peter Walker shattered conventions with the introduction of the first full-range electrostatic loudspeaker, achieving transient response and clarity then considered impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Subsequent models (ESL-63, ESL988\/989, ESL 2805\/2905, ESL 2812\/2912) each introduced incremental refinements. Critics have long hailed these models for their airy, effortless midrange and natural box-less hear-through qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe Heart\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOne would be rightly forgiven for knowing the ESL but not knowing how the ESL differs from typical loudspeakers. It is correct to start with the fact that a QUAD ESL is not your typical loudspeaker! Unlike conventional speakers that use moving-coil drivers, the ESL employs a completely different principle: an electrostatic panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e At the heart of a QUAD ESL are panels containing a diaphragm of fine Mylar film, ten times thinner than a human hair. The Mylar film is coated with a high resistance conductive material and suspended between two perforated metal plates called stators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This unique diaphragm is incredibly light and therefore dynamically responsive. It is much lighter than any moving-coil driver cone and can therefore respond to signal transients with incredible speed and accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Mylar diaphragm is charged up to a constant high voltage exceeding 5.2kV DC. An audio signal is applied across the two stators to create an alternating electric field, which causes the charged electrostatic Mylar diaphragm to be alternately pushed and pulled towards them. As a result, the diaphragm vibrates accurately in response to the music signal, and so produces the ultra-pure sound reproduction for which QUAD ESL loudspeakers are well-known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Due to the diaphragm's lightweight nature and uniform drive across its entire surface, the sound it generates is exceptionally clean, responding accurately to musical transients, and exceptionally low in distortion, particularly intermodulation distortion. This is particularly evident in the midrange frequencies, where human hearing is most attuned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e“Point Source” Design\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eQUAD's ESL mid-high frequency panels are configured with a \"concentric ring\" electrode design, initially conceived for the ground-breaking ESL-63. Rather than allowing all sections of the diaphragm to move uniformly, the speaker is meticulously engineered to ensure that the audio signal seems to emanate from a singular point in space. This sophisticated arrangement produces an exceptionally precise stereo image, in which instruments and vocal performances appear to hover within the auditory environment — akin to being enveloped by the musicians themselves. This point-source characteristic is expertly facilitated by an innovative delay line system, which supplies the outer rings of the stators with gradually delayed iterations of the audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh Voltage \u0026amp; Low Distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOne critical factor influencing the ESL's performance is its remarkably high operating voltage – approximately 5,250 volts. This elevated voltage substantially enhances the diaphragm's control and linearity, allowing it to move with precision in response to musical signals while significantly reducing distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A QUAD ESL rigorously regulates this high voltage via a multiplier circuit that amplifies standard AC power, complemented by a protective circuit designed to prevent overdriving (excessive input power), thereby safeguarding the speaker from potential damage and distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe Improvements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The intricate details of the manufacturing process contribute significantly to the refinements that are more than audible in the ESL X. For one, the time taken to manufacture a single QUAD ESL panel is extended, therefore the time frame for a full ESL loudspeaker system to be assembled is much more considered. The process is one of extreme care and attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHowever, dig even deeper and QUAD engineers have taken things to the 'X level' with some intriguing further enhancements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMajor upgrades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first technical improvement sees the operational PCB split from a monolithic design into three fully independent modules. The system comprises a High-Voltage Multiplier Module, a Control and Protection Module, and a Low-Voltage Signal Module. Together, these components form an integrated unit designed for optimal performance and reliability. By physically segregating the 5.25 kV multiplier stage from the sensitive low-voltage circuits, QUAD significantly diminishes stray high-voltage electric fields. This isolation strategy not only minimizes interference and crosstalk but also markedly enhances stability and noise performance. The resulting effect is crystal-clear audio signals that faithfully reveal every nuance, even during powerful musical peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSecondly, it is important to note that, specifically for the ESL X, QUAD has reverted to using UK-manufactured audio transformers. These transformers are of a meticulous custom-specified designed, refined, and supervised in quality control by QUAD's renowned service team, led by Rob Flain. The transformers are purpose-engineered to improve signal dynamics, particularly within the mid and high-frequency ranges. This results in a sound that is considerably more detailed, and exceptionally high linearity is achieved. The wide bandwidth ensures a flat response extending beyond 18 kHz, creating an effortless sense of airiness and extension. With robust regulation in place, these transformers effectively eliminate flux modulation artifacts when operating at high sound pressure levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Ultimately, these transformers significantly enhance mid-high dynamics, sharpen transient attacks, and broaden the perceived depth of the soundstage with superior resolution of micro-dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePeter Comeau, QUAD's Director of Acoustic Design, has monitored the development of the ESL X closely and comments as follows:\u003cbr\u003e Peter Comeau, QUAD's Director of Acoustic Design, has monitored the development of the ESL X closely and comments as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"The X suffix for the new QUAD ESL 2912 and 2812 speakers suggests something eXtra and that is certainly delivered in the sonic performance of these models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e First of all the inclusion of UK built audio transformers, built precisely to Peter Walker's original specification, provides wider bandwidth, especially at the high frequency end where the extra extension offers superior clarity to instrumental harmonics as well as lending more air to the spatial acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSecondly, an all new PCB board layout splits the audio components from the high tension section and optimizes the latter to provide a more stable 5kV supply to the electrostatic panels.
