Description
The SourcePoint 10 has long since established itself as a cult model, a speaker that proved that Andrew Jones' concentric driver design could deliver audiophile stagecraft and three-dimensional imaging in a conventional bookshelf speaker format. The Master Edition is not a redesign for marketing purposes, but the result of years of further engineering refinement of the same formula, aimed at even greater accuracy, linearity and control over the sound in the real listening room.
The main difference of the Master Edition is a completely updated crossover, assembled on two separate boards from the highest-class components: polypropylene film capacitors, metal film resistors and air-core coils. Each element is selected and tuned by hand to maximize the coherence between the 10-inch concentric driver and the 1.25-inch soft dome tweeter - the result is noticeably better tonal balance, more accurate positioning of instruments in space and a more integral, natural sound stage.
The Master Edition has received a practical novelty - a mid-high frequency adjustment switch, which allows you to finely adjust the brightness of the upper range to the acoustics of a specific room or personal taste preferences. This is exactly the flexibility that is often lacking in ready-made factory settings: now you can adjust the sound to your own room without any additional equipment.
As with the original SourcePoint 10, the heart of the speaker is the patented Twin-Drive magnetic system with high-inductance neodymium magnets. The two opposing magnets create a perfectly symmetrical magnetic field, eliminating flux modulation, a phenomenon that typically causes intermodulation distortion. This technology is the basis for the exceptionally clean, precise delivery for which the entire SourcePoint series is renowned.
A full-inch-thick solid wood veneer cabinet, a branched internal bracing, and a two-inch-thick sculpted front baffle create an extremely rigid, resonance-free structure. Two large rear-panel port ports deliver powerful, deep bass with minimal turbulence, while the multi-faceted baffle shape reduces the diffraction of sound waves typical of flat-front designs.
SourcePoint 10 Master Edition continues the trust Mobile Fidelity has built over four decades with its legendary reissues of Original Master Recordings—now not just in the recording of music, but also in the technology to play it back.
The Master Edition is the choice for music lovers who already know the potential of Jones’ concentric design and want the most accurate, refined version of that philosophy, with the ability to fine-tune the sound to suit their own room.
