Totaldac speakers

Totaldac designs and builds speakers, all of them sharing the same original idea. They are made as Totaldac reference and they can also be sold to customers.

The cabinet shape, the materials and the component quality make the differences between all 3 models but the drivers and crossover schematics are the same, so the specification numbers are common to all 3 models.

Three models are available: d102, d112 and d122 speakers, all are 2-way speakers for maximum coherence and impulse response.

The top driver uses a very light paper cone to sound ultra fast, it is made in collaboration with the famous French full range driver manufacturer EMSspeaker.
The driver frame is custom made of wood when the d112 and d122 speakers are concerned.

The bottom driver uses a heavier cone with a very strong neodymium magnet for strong bass, body and wide soundstage.
The bottom driver is closer to the floor to cancel the floor reflection and get a very flat final frequency response at the listening place.

Both 12inch drivers work together in a complementary way to create the perfect mid/bass driver: fast, deep, very flat response and very high efficiency.

The treble horn is very short and the compression driver dome is quite small, all this allows a very extended treble response very rarely found in horn speakers.

The speaker coils of both 12inch drivers and the compression driver are precisely aligned for a perfect impulse response and coherence, something impossible with deeper horns or even with most conventional tweeters.
So this perfectly aligned 2-way-only speakers give the maximum coherence and impact to the sound and you can hear it immediately.
The bass extension, treble extension, high efficiency and very flat response increases even more the realism.

The interface to the floor is composed of 3 inox footers for stability under vibrations, plus 2 extra security footers to stay stable in case the speaker is pushed accidentally.
These security footers do not touch the floor as long as the speaker is not pushed.

Specifications common to all 3 models:

-100dB @ 1m @ 2.83V even in bass thanks to two 12inch high efficiency drivers working together
-power handling 100W but the amplifier can be classified much less as well as much more than 100W
-2-way only for maximum coherence
-treble extension 25KHz at -6dB
-bass response: 25Hz at -6dB best case when placed close to a corner of some rooms, 35Hz at -6dB when placed around the middle of most rooms
-6ohm average impedance, 4ohm minimum impedance
-constant directivity horn used above 2.5KHz
-Neodymium bottom 12inch driver with very high force

d122 speakers

The d122 is the very high end speaker from Totaldac, made to develop the electronics and to demo a full system.

This speakers are made of pure solid wood (from France), with oil finish, the horn is made of solid wood as well, the compression driver back chamber is made of solid wood as well and even more exceptional the driver frame is also made of wood for an even better sound.

It uses the same drivers and same crossover as the d112 but the cabinet is much more complex, internally and externally.
The design is curved in 3D for a better response to the acoustic waves, the inside is completely covered with wooden diffusors, the cabinet is thicker with no parallel wall, more reinforced and is visually more appealing.
The sound is ultra real, making you simply enjoy all musics, forgetting the system.

d112 speakers

The d112 is a very high end speaker of Totaldac, the main difference compared to the d122 speaker is the simplified cabinet.

The speaker cabinet is made of pure solid wood (from France), with oil finish, or painted birch plywood. The customer chooses the cabinet version on order.

The horn is made of solid wood, the compression driver back chamber is made of solid wood as well and even more exceptional the driver frame is also made of wood for an even better sound.
The d112 speakers have also been tested with success in small rooms.

Totaldac d102 speaker

The Totaldac d102 speakers started from the d112 speakers and several costly components have been replaced to cut the fabrication cost.
Still it keeps most of the qualities, their high sensitivity allows them to produce a very controlled sound at all frequencies and with realistic and rich bass, making them suitable for all types of music genres, from classical music to electro.

The speaker cabinet are made of pure solid wood (from France), with oil finish, or painted birch plywood. The customer chooses the cabinet version on order.

Totaldac sub-d100 subwoofer

The sub-100 is a subwoofer made to extend the sub bass response of the Totaldac speakers up to 18Hz, and it can be placed in a corner of a room which is often more efficient for low bass than the main speaker location.
The sub-d100 uses the same bass driver as the Totaldac speakers for a perfect sound matching with the Totaldac speakers.
Due to the fact that the dimensions are exactly the same as the d102 and d112 speakers it is also perfectly matching the d102 and d112 visually.
The external crossover is connected from the main stereo amplifier outputs to the subwoofer amplifier XLR input.
The subwoofer amplifier is sold separately. Totaldac recommends the Amp-1 amplifier in monobloc version (1000W) as best matching amplifier.
This solution allows you to get very clean and detailed sub bass, so helpful when listening symphonic orchestra, drum or organ.

"On listening, we were confronted with a mature, complete, organic and extremely detailed performance. It is a high-efficiency system with a sub that can range over all musical geniuses with authority and control up to live concert levels. It is noteworthy and one of the very few cases in my memory where the subwoofer improved the overall performance without giving the feeling of something added afterwards, a perception of emissive uniformity that made everything even more credible."
