208cm. If you were wondering how tall TIDAL Audio’s new Sunray G3 Loudspeakers are, the answer is 208cm or 6.8 ft. Tall.
The new Sunray G3 Loudspeakers are a dynamic 4-way loudspeaker packed with proprietary TIDAL drivers including a 30mm Gen3 diamond tweeter with neodymium motor, a 126mm Gen2 diamond diaphragm midrange woofer with neodymium under-hang motor, a 170mm Gen3 black ceramic midrange with neodymium under-hang motor, six 192mm aluminum-hexacone sandwich woofers with long excursion motor, and six 250mm passive radiators mounted around back.
The Sunray G3’s are a 3-piece modular design made of TIDAL’s proprietary TIRALIT cabinet material that makes their assembled weight of over 700 pounds per speaker more manageable.
The Sunray G3 have a rated sensitivity of 89dB, a 4.2 Ohm minimal impedance, and a recommended minimum of 30 Watts to drive ’em. I’m guessing more might be merrier.
Available now, the Sunray G3 run $450,000/pair in original TIDAL piano lacquer in midnight black. Hand selected veneers in original TIDAL transparent piano lacquer are optional.
