Powered by ADX’s patented proprietary Trillium™ technology, the Turbo X delivers the truth in immersive sound and features a surround sound mode that dynamically enhances movies and video games, the first in the industry.
“Our team is excited to bring back the truthful purity of music with the launch of the Turbo X in the UK,” said Thomas ‘Rikki’ Farr, ADX chairman and chief creative officer. “The Turbo X is the first of many products that will be brought to market by RIVA that deliver amazing, dynamic and powerful music to a generation that is currently listening to a diluted, over-processed reproduction of what was supreme in its creation.”
The Turbo X is made up of three 60 MM full range custom ADX drivers, packed with 45 watts RMS of power and has an impressive 26+ hour battery playing time. It also includes unique features like a speakerphone with noise and echo cancellation processing technology and a Charge Out for phones, tablets or wearable devices. Activate TURBO EQ boost mode to fill a room with powerful sound, up to 100 dB.
The RIVA Ground Control mobile app allows for control of the entire listening experience from a phone or tablet. Available for iOS or Android™, the Ground Control app can be downloaded for free from the App Store℠ or Google Play™.
The Turbo X is available now in the UK at www.hifilounge.co.uk for £299.99. It is also available at select authorised RIVA dealers.
Trillium™
- Unlike physical left-right speakers, the Turbo X does not exhibit off-axis comb filtering because of Trillium™. This creates a wider listening area with locked center image location which means every seat is the best seat in the house.
- Four passive radiators, two located on the front and two on the back, use a symmetrical arrangement to balance the vibrational forces. With physics, we convert more of the drivers’ energy into sound.
- Trillium™ Surround
In addition to music, we set out to provide an exceptional experience for movies and gaming. Activating the Trillium™ Surround mode expands the soundfield further for action and effects that fill the entire room.
Custom Drivers
- With the innovative Trillium™ platform, our engineers found that conventional and existing transducers failed to meet the sonic requirements. After hundreds of hours of development and numerous prototypes, the RIVA engineering team developed custom active drivers and passive radiators for the Turbo X.
- Turbo X’s active drivers are high-output, wide bandwidth, compact speakers that deliver a much broader range of the musical spectrum without colorization or distortion. The custom designed Turbo X passive radiators were created with dedicated dual suspensions and customer bobbins and frames to support the highly impressive low-frequency performance.
Speaker Enclosure
- The Turbo X enclosure is constructed using technology found in more expensive speakers.
- Structural ribs and bracing minimize resonances and energy loss.
- There is less surface area to resonate and color the sound since the enclosure is efficiently housing active drivers and passive radiators. !
- EQ Modes
- Standard Music Mode: Delivers exceptional fidelity with minimal processing of the signal to preserve the natural dynamics and the purity of the original recording.
- TURBO Mode: Allows listeners to have Loud AND Beautiful sound. Play up to 100dB while our smart bass compression protects the speaker from over excursion while still delivering musical mids and highs.
- Conferencing Mode: Focuses on the vocal dialog range and distributes it through three speakers to ensure clear, natural sounding conference calls no matter where you are sitting.
