T+A Pulsar S 130

As the third generation of T+A speakers, the Pulsar series introduces our design philosophy of “Classical Modernity.” Building on timeless elegance, our designers reinterpret classic elements in an excitingly modern way, uniting apparent contrasts between modernity and tradition. Their distinctively curved enclosures, inspired by Art Deco, lend the Pulsar speakers a sculptural grace that artfully conceals their true dimensions, giving them an imposing yet refined presence despite their compact form. The finishes, available in black or white, are achieved through a meticulous multi-layer process that guarantees both timeless beauty and lasting durability. Inside, the thoughtfully engineered bass reflex design mirrors this external perfection. Precisely tuned parameters harness the previously untapped rearward energy of the drivers, directing it to maximise bass pressure without compromising on control or precision.

The newly developed tweeter in the AudiophileLinearity series features an exceptionally stiff yet lightweight magnesium dome, specially coated to eliminate resonances that typically occur with metal domes at higher frequencies. Its outstanding impulse response is free of any hardness or sharpness, and it can reproduce frequencies up to 40 kHz with impeccable clarity. A custom-designed Audiophile Diffuser ensures even sound dispersion across this frequency range, maintaining smooth, glistening highs without overpowering the sound foundation.

While low bass frequencies place tremendous demands on the structural integrity of the cabinet, the short wavelengths of high frequencies require a completely different approach to ensure precision. Even the smallest irregularities, such as those caused by screw-mounted chassis frames or minor edges on the baffle, can disrupt the radiation of these frequencies, resulting in subtle but audible colouration.
Our T+A OrganicBaffle Design is a scientifically rigorous solution to this challenge. In all speakers, the baffles are entirely screw-free and internally anchored, and their form is meticulously calculated to prevent any potential interference with sound dispersion from the outset, rather than addressing it after the fact. This innovative design guarantees accurate mid and high-frequency reproduction without any interference, allowing listeners to experience sound in its purest form.

For 40 years, our mission has been the natural, uncoloured reproduction of music: nothing of the artist's intent should be masked or altered by a T+A system. In line with this vision, our team of engineers has developed the Symmetric Directivity Design, a cornerstone technology in all T+A speaker series, bringing the precisely defined sound radiation pattern of our reference speakers to new price categories.

Using dual StarStabilizer midrange drivers and the new AudiophileLinearity tweeter, this system creates a sound field that is strongest at the listening area’s centre, reducing harmful reflections from ceilings and floors before they can impact the listening experience. The result is a wide soundstage with authentic depth and precise localisation of voices and instruments, almost entirely independent of the room.
