The Omega Super 3 High Output Monitor: A Game-Changer in Sound
If you're someone who craves that immersive "you are there" sound, then Omega Speaker Systems has something you need to check out: The New Super 3 High Output Monitor with Omega Synergy Drive.
This isn’t your typical speaker. It builds off the impressive speed and performance of the Super 3i and Super 3U, taking everything to a new level of clarity and precision. But what’s especially unique here is that it’s not a 2-way design like most traditional speakers. It’s a 1.5-way design.
Now, you might be wondering: what’s the difference between a 2-way and a 1.5-way design? Let’s break it down.
2-Way vs. 1.5-Way: What’s the Deal?
In a 2-way speaker, you typically have two drivers: one for the high frequencies (a tweeter) and one for the midrange and low frequencies (a woofer). These speakers divide the audio signal, sending the high-pitched sounds to the tweeter and the deeper ones to the woofer. Pretty standard, right?
But Omega's 1.5-way design? This is where things get cool. Instead of splitting the signal between two distinct drivers, the Super 3 High Output Monitor uses two similar drivers. One driver handles the full range of sound, while the second one kicks in to help boost the lower frequencies. This design choice allows the speaker to keep the full-range sound that Omega is known for, while delivering a richer, more controlled bass response.
Why Does This Matter?
For listeners, this means you get the best of both worlds: the lightning-fast, detailed sound Omega is known for, combined with a deeper, fuller bass experience. If you’ve ever felt like traditional 2-way speakers sound a little disconnected between the high and low frequencies, the 1.5-way design smooths that out. The result? More natural sound, better imaging, and a bigger, more immersive listening experience.
The Omega Synergy Drive
Adding to this magic is Omega’s Synergy Drive, which enhances the overall speed and accuracy of the system. It’s like turbocharging an already high-performance engine, pushing the sound quality to a place where you feel like the music is happening right in front of you.
Who Is This For?
If you’re a hardcore audiophile looking for precision and immersion, or just someone who loves the idea of having handmade speakers that deliver an insanely detailed sound, the Omega Super 3 High Output Monitor could be your next obsession.
What separates it from a 2 way design?
- The drivers are identical.
- There is no power-robbing, midrange-muddying crossover.
- The LF driver is cut off at 200Hz, so there is no phase and time misalignment as in a two way speaker.
- The HF driver still functions as a single driver, single point source running full range.
- 2 drivers work half as hard as 1 driver.
- Greater driver surface area being there are 2 drivers.
- Higher efficiency (97.5dB)
- More dynamic performance than a single driver.
- Will play louder than a single driver.
- Will handle more complex music than a single driver and is just as fast.
