Stevens Audio - Rich Heritage Conducive To heightened Performance
Astute US audio company Stevens Audio is one recognised by audiophiles across the world. This largely in part to the company being the product of one Mr Eric Stevens; the very creator of numerous legendary products for high-end car audio company Image Dynamics way back in 1992. Far more than just mastering speakers, subwoofers and horn loaded compression drivers; in reality there is little Eric cannot develop that hasn't flourished upon the internationally stage. The man's passion for high quality audio has led to over thirty yeas of engineering pedigree, with Stevens Audio nowadays producing award-winning product after product without peer.

SA Series – Resplendent Accuracy With Force Aplenty
All distinguished audiophiles desire the very best performance from their components. However what about those who are a little more daring? Who possess a slightly wilder streak, who haphazardly like to push the volume to extremes. That's going to take some masterfully designed speakers to blend such accuracy with copious amounts of output. Thanks to Eric Stevens such ability is attainable, for this man in no stranger to designing speakers able to bring together elegance and brute force with aplomb.

Design Ideologies
The SA6CS-A from Stevens Audio is a component set for use in uncompromising active configurations, hence does not come with passive crossovers. The SA series range of components are the definitive product of powerful mechanical and finite element analysis (FEA) modeling systems. The results are innovative solutions for neodymium motor, lightweight yet strong cone and fluid surround and suspension system. The result is stunning clarity and musicality, with smooth on and off-axis frequency response. The high coercive force neodymium magnet motor system produces life like dynamic realism with low distortion.

Veritable Powerhouses – The SA6 Woofers
The SA6 is a 6.5″ / 165 mm woofer featuring a motor comprising of a neodymium external ring motor with aluminum shorting ring and pure copper pole sleeve. The magnetic return structure is CNC machined utilizing very low carbon steel for maximum flux density in the voice coil gap. All combined this produces a motor structure without compromise capable of extreme musicality and detail even at very high power and output levels.

The cone is a proprietary paper pulp hybrid with surface treatment to produce smooth on and off axis frequency response. Through careful engineering and design, engineers have eliminated breakup modes that cause frequency response peaks and dips limiting the useable upper frequency range. The result is clean, undistorted musical output without fatigue and harshness.

The suspension is a positive half-roll rubber surround and long excursion Conex spider; these support the moving assembly throughout it’s full range motion without prematurely limiting the long excursion capabilities.

The basket frame on the other hand is a a purpose-engineered cast alloy affair that features maximum rear open area through a thin spoke design for aerodynamic transparency.

Little Wonders – The SA1 Tweeters
The SA1 is a 1″ / 25.4 mm tweeter featuring a coated silk diaphragm which exhibits excellent properties for uncolored high frequency response, very low mass and excellent stability.

The motor is a neodymium magnet and U-Yoke motor topology with ferrofluid in the magnetic gap for increased power handling and lower power compression. Copper clad aluminum wire voice coil allows for most fluid and accurate reciprocation.

The housing is is a CNC machined aluminum housing with large rear chamber. This serves to control linear direct movement, whilst providing greater power handling by dissipating heat more efficiently. This equates to a lower resonant frequency of 650 Hz for greater useable bandwidth.
