Model 81 As featured in Wired magazine See the big picture Build a pair yourself using HUMAN parts Order form

The HUMAN 81 is everything most people will ever need in a speaker.

A simple and elegant product featuring my hand made eight inch woofer and one inch tweeter, it achieves a level of musical realism seldom seen in this price range.

• High power handling will accomodate most amplifiers.
• Wide frequency response to faithfully reproduce any type of music (or video soundtrack).
• Uniform power response reproduces all frequencies equally.
• The minimalist crossover design eliminates phase effects.
• The low crossover frequency ensures wide dispersion of all frequencies.
• Ultra low distortion so that even the most complex passages remain clear.

All this from a pair of boxes small enough to easily place in most rooms.

My drivers are rugged and purist, and designed to complement each other's range and clarity. The eight inch woofer, in this cabinet, is flat from 42 Hz to 1800 Hz, where the one inch concave aluminum dome tweeter takes over (most tweeters couldn't handle a crossover this low) and finishes the job out to 26 kHz, beyond human hearing. A minimalist crossover design prevents stored energy from smearing the musical detail and provides excellent transient response. The acoustic suspension (sealed cabinet) design provides for clean, tight undistorted low bass.

This speaker is built to high standards, featuring:

• A heavy, internally braced cabinet to minimize resonance.
• Carefully designed angles on the inner edge of the grill frame and curved cabinet edges reduce diffraction effects.
• Gold plated 5-way binding post input terminals, to securely accomodate your choice of speaker wire and connectors.
• The crossover is an audiophile grade film capacitor, for smooth, undistorted high frequency response.
• 16 gauge oxygen-free copper internal wiring.
• A butyl rubber surround on the woofer for excellent longevity.
