YG Acoustics Carmel 2 Floorstanding Speakers
Carmel™ 2 delivers the lifelike natural sound of YG Acoustics™’ flagship Sonja™ and Hailey™, at a price that is within reach for many of us who – until now – could only dream of owning a speaker of such ultra-high-end caliber. Carmel™ 2 is the culmination of years of research, and a near-obsessive desire by YG Acoustics™’ lead-designer Yoav Geva, who insisted that his inevitable responsibility was to extend the leading-edge technologies of Sonja™ and Hailey™, to Carmel™ 2. The result is astonishing – world-class performance in a gorgeous marvel of industrial design and precision-manufacturing. Carmel™ 2 – spectacular sonics, timelessly elegant form, pure clarity.

Carmel™2 delivers the lifelike natural sound of YG Acoustics™’ flagship Sonja™ and Hailey™, at a price that is within reach for many of us who – until now – could only dream of owning a speaker of such ultra-high-end caliber. Carmel™2 is the culmination of years of research, and a near-obsessive desire by YG Acoustics™’ lead-designer Yoav Geva, who insisted that his inevitable responsibility was to extend the leading-edge technologies of Sonja™ and Hailey™, to Carmel™2. The result is astonishing – world-class performance in a gorgeous marvel of industrial design and precision-manufacturing. Carmel™2 – spectacular sonics, timelessly elegant form, pure clarity... handmade in U.S.A.

Carmel™2 uses a fully CNC-machined construction and proprietary toroidal air-core crossover inductors. The revolutionary drivers, machined in-house for Sonja™ and Hailey™, make an encore appearance in Carmel™2. These enhancements result in ultralow distortion, while preserving the industry-leading frequency and phase response that YG Acoustics™ is famous for.

The mid-woofer is made in-house using YG Acoustics™’ proprietary BilletCore™* technology: the driver is precisely machined out of a massive slab of aircraft grade aluminum. This unique process offers overwhelmingly superior dynamics, musical delicacy and low distortion due to industry-leading rigidity and accuracy (tight tolerances).

The tweeter incorporates YG Acoustics™’ ingenious ForgeCore™* system: in-house CNCcutting introduces sophisticated 3D geometries into the motor system. The resulting improvement is greatly reduced distortion and a sense of ease to the sound.

YG Acoustics™ crossover circuits are all created using proprietary software developed entirely inhouse. DualCoherent™* technology provides the best frequency response and relative phase available. Competing speakers are optimized in either the frequency domain (most common) or time domain. Only YG Acoustics™ has the ability to optimize both domains simultaneously.

Carmel™2’s crossover uses ToroAir™* technology: in-house CNC-wound toroidal air-core inductors are unique in eliminating cross-talk (crosscontamination) common in crossover circuits.The result is preservation of high-frequency detail without harshness, brightness or sibilance.

Carmel™2’s exquisite Cabinet* combines visual refinement with over-engineering. It is constructed of precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. This material, using vibration-free pressurized assembly, allows for the most acoustically desirable enclosures achievable. The plate-thickness is up to 35 mm (1.375”). This ensures freedom from vibration, even at impressive volume levels for a speaker of this size.

FocusedElimination™* anti-resonance technology keeps mechanical losses lower than any competing speaker, by combining the minimized turbulence of a sealed design with the low friction otherwise associated with enclosure-free concepts. YG Acoustics™ speakers are not voiced. All measurements are verified using extensive listening tests, but the speakers are not artificially manipulated. YG Acoustics™ speakers simply convey the recording – nothing more, nothing less. The end-result: Carmel™2 is a champion of transparency, 3D-soundstaging, dynamics, innerdetail, and the natural sound of a live performance that YG Acoustics™ is famous for. This is all presented in a refined, elegant speaker with an exquisite fit-and-finish that is the showpiece of the world’s finest listening environments.
