Born in Europe – Crafted for the World
We have always considered The Platinum as one of the most important series in the premium category. That is why high expectations were placed on our development team during crafting the newest Platinum v.3 edition. We were committed to create extraordinary speakers in terms of sound performance while maintaining highly-acclaimed shapes and looks of the series.
We have to admit without any doubt that the final result is amazing and even exceeds our expectations.
There are only few components which the Platinum C-100 v.3 shares with the previous edition namely the shape of TLIE enclosure, BOM bassreflex port and speaker terminals. All other are totally new or significantly upgraded.
We implemented our newest concept “Born in Europe – Crafted for the World” in this new project resulting in the finest sound quality.
We do believe that such high performance has never been available in this price level and far beyond.
We focused mostly on intensive listening tests and sound adjustments rather than on creating perfect specifications on paper because music and generally sound is about emotions, feelings and passion. Not only specialists were involved in the process but all of us at TAGA Harmony because we share the same love for the perfect sound.
It is not easy to write about the sound performance as it is difficult to write about emotions – we always encourage to listen to and feel the sound by yourself. But if we are to say a few words about the Platinum v.3 character it would be: deep, perfectly controlled and defined bass, smooth and rich midrange and appealing, detailed and crystal clear highs as well as very open and airy soundstage. Of course these are only words but there is real passion, feelings and love for music behind the Platinum v.3 – we do love them and crafted them with love and we believe you will share the same!
CABINETS
TLIE-I – The 2nd generation of Taga Low Interference Enclosures is made of high-quality, high-density 15mm thick MDF boards with inside braces (floorstanding models) to increase stiffness and limit any unwanted resonances. The thicker internal bracing and additional transverse strengthening bars (2 in Platinum F-120 v.3, 1 in Platinum F-100 v.3) help to further reduce vibrations.
The shapes are perfectly crafted not only to look wonderful and modern but mainly to lower any unwanted vibrations, diffractions or turbulences, which can affect the sound performance.
New high-end enclosure damping material is used to better break up the standing waves, lower resonances and limit distortions what improves the smoothness and characteristics of sound in all ranges.
All models are equipped with magnetically mountable grills to keep more sleek appearance of speakers’ front panel and new drivers as well as to lower distortions when the grill is taken off.
HIGH-FREQUENCY DRIVER
1. T-YOKE / Pole piece
2. Copper ring
3. Oversized ferrite magnet
4. Top plate
5. TPTTD-I Taga Pure Titanium Tweeter Dome and CCAW voice coil with silver wiring
6. TWG-I faceplate – basis
7. Metal grill
8. TWG-I faceplate – front panel
TPTTD-I – the 2nd generation Taga Pure Titanium Tweeter Dome utilizes a new differently shaped and lighter titanium dome as well as an addition of a copper ring on the T-yoke to increase and widen SPL and at the same time lower distortions and to provide faster and more accurate movement of the dome reflecting in more detailed and airy sound.
Specialized horn-like, TWG TAGA Waveguide design of tweeter’s faceplate utilizing concave diffusers as well as dome metal grill assists with equal and flat dispersion of sound in and off the axis of the driver. CCAW voice coil ensures crisp, clean and distortion free communication and high power sound. Platinum tweeter can perform up to 40KHz!
MIDRANGE DRIVER
1. Additional oversized ferrite magnet [only woofers in F-120 v.3 /F-100 v.3]
2. T-YOKE / Pole piece
3. Oversized ferrite magnet
4. Top plate
5. Aluminum injection-molded chassis with anti-oxidation surface process
6. Spider
7. Flat wire copper voice coil
8. TPACD-I Taga Pure Aluminum Cone and TRCS rubber surround
9. Pure aluminum dust cap
TPACD-I – the 2nd generation Taga Pure Aluminum Cone Drivers utilize rigid aluminum chassis and provide ultra-fast movement for smooth, rich and very natural midrange frequency response as well as deep, precise and detailed bass performance.
– Differently shaped and lighter aluminum cones allow faster, more accurate movement of the cone reflecting in more detailed and airy sound.
– New flat pure aluminum dust cap to increase air flow and smoothen the frequency response.
– Heavy duty and powerful motor structure including oversized magnets: Φ90 in the midrange driver , double Φ110 and Φ100 in F-120 v.3 /F-100 v.3 woofers, Φ120 in the B-40 v.3 mid-woofer (the whole structure is the same as in the flagship Diamond B-60), Φ80 in the C-100 v.3 / S-100 v.3 and totally new flat wire copper voice coils offer higher power handling and longer operation time without increased temperature generating better and more dynamic sound performance.
Rigid and ultra-light TPACD Taga Pure Aluminum cone Driver (with aluminum bullet shaped phase plug and chassis, oversized Φ90 magnet) with the butyl suspension can move very fast and frequently allowing mid-range frequencies to be very rich, spacious and sweet. Heavy duty combo T-yoke, pure copper voice coil can stand high temperatures and power inputs. The still, bullet shaped phase plug is to align the phase of the audio signal and to smooth the midrange frequency response.
BASSREFLEX
BOM Bassreflex Omnidirectional Module – low-turbulence and high-velocity ports utilizing concave diffusers for increased dispersion of low frequencies. Ports are rubber coated for more luxurious look and to provide even better effect on a sound performance.
BASSREFLEX
The slot-type, low-turbulence and high-velocity port increases dispersion of low frequencies.
CROSSOVERS
High quality, close-tolerance and precisely selected crossover components and internal wires for absolute sound neutrality, long-term high power and reliability.
INTERNAL WIRING
TAGA Harmony utilizes the high quality of OFC internal wiring connecting crossovers with drivers assuring that incoming audio signals from a receiver or amplifier will not lose any important details on the paths to drivers.
