  • Notes

  • Compact 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker system introduced as the smaller companion to the Achromat 400. Designed to provide wide‑range, low‑colouration reproduction in a reduced enclosure volume. Intended for use with medium‑power amplifiers and marketed as a “small monitor class” system capable of performance comparable to larger floor‑standing designs.

    The Achromat 100 is a Permanent Magnet Dynamic (PDyn) system featuring two moving-coil drivers. It utilises a closed-box (Acoustic Suspension) enclosure, a hallmark of the Achromat series' focus on low-coloration sound reproduction.

    • Woofer: 200mm (8") mid-bass driver with a long-throw voice coil and a cast-aluminum chassis to prevent mechanical flexing.
    • Tweeter: 25mm (1") soft-dome high-frequency unit.
    • Crossover: High-slope passive network (typically 12dB/octave or higher) with a crossover frequency near 3kHz.
    • Cabinet: Heavy-gauge high-density fiberboard with internal bitumen-loaded damping panels.
