USHER Grand Tower
The Grand Tower is more than just a new speaker from Usher Audio. As our newest flagship model, the Grand Tower represents the culmination of nearly 40 years of audio expertise. As such, it integrates Usher Audio's most celebrated, award-winning technologies plus a few extras into one exquisite listening experience.
Lying beneath the elegant lines of the Grand Towers are the thickest, most rigid, most advanced cabinets of any Usher speaker ever built. Only a cabinet that has reduced its mechanical vibrations to an absolute minimum will be capable of allowing its drivers to do the talking and we are happy to have achieved that with the Grand Tower. One defining feature is its 3 separate enclosures per speaker. This means double thickness where the enclosures meet, further separated by special vibration absorbing pads to render moot any interference from other drivers.
As with the rest of the Dancer Series, the Grand Towers cabinets are built of our proprietary layered wood cabinet construction held together with a special penetrating glue effectively creating multiple constrained layers for dramatically reduced cabinet resonances. Average thickness surpasses 50mm for the heavily braced subwoofer.
The MTM array maintains the same thickness but adds and incredible 120mm thick contoured front baffle! Pure brass spikes root the massive cabinets to the ground to whilst not allowing vibrations to be transferred to or from the floor.
