Epos ES-28N loudspeakers
The ES-28N is the third new model from the English/German traditional brand and a classic 3-way floorstanding speaker. The typical 2 or 2.5-way solution with two bass drivers and one tweeter did not appeal to the designers from Essen, so the ES-28N became a purebred 3-way box with crossover frequencies of just under 300Hz and 2,800Hz.
The basic construction of the ES-28N drivers was contributed by the two Epos siblings. The bass drivers share the basket and magnet system with the ES14N, but the membrane and surround were optimized for the 3-way task.
The 130mm midrange driver was contributed by the ES-7N. Only minor changes were necessary to cover the midrange optimally.
The tweeter is identical to that of the smaller models.
Like all models in the Epos series, the ES-28N cabinet consists of double MDF panels plus a damping layer, with the front panel contributing 50mm in thickness for further stabilization.
The midrange driver naturally operates in its own enclosure, and even the crossover received a separate volume so that high sound pressures cannot induce vibrations in the components.
The new ES-28N flagship model of the Epos series is on display at High End 2024 as a preview. Delivery is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024. Expected MSRP €8. 000.
