TiFi Argos Speaker
TiFi Argos stands out as a computer speaker offering timing alignment and pristine sound quality. Functioning purposefully within a frequency range of 150 - 17,000 Hz (+/- 3 dB), the TiFi Argos is crafted to be complemented with a subwoofer. Crossing range 120 - 170 Hz. This enables the sound from the speakers transition to the subwoofer before room modes begin affecting the sound image.
TiFi Argos boasts a range of unique features. Closely positioned loudspeakers result minimal sound interference and adapting to changes in listening angles. Elevating the speakers above the tabletop and slightly angling them away from the surface serves to minimize sound reflection from the desktop, reducing distortion in higher frequencies caused by reflection.
The resulting sound image is both clean and spatial, making the TiFi Argos an ideal choice for placement beside a computer monitor. Specifically developed as a timed speaker for tabletop use and close listening, it provides an exceptional audio experience.
For an enhanced audio setup, the TiFi Kraken passive subwoofer and Audiophonics TPA-S120 speaker and subwoofer amplifier are available for additional purchase here. However, TiFi Argos can also be integrated with other amplifiers and subwoofers.
Price per one speaker.
User-friendlyDesigned for fitting next to the monitor, TiFi Argos features a straight view vertical profile and slightly inclined backwards in side view, similar to the monitor. To save desktop space, the speaker cable connection is directed beneath the speaker, emerging from a small groove at the back of the unit. The speaker's height is chosen to be slightly lower than the majority of computer monitors, yet sufficiently elevated to avoid the disruptive impact of desktop sound reflection on the purity of the audio image. TiFi Argos's 3D-printed speaker housing allows for color customization. The default choice is black, incurring no additional production time or cost. Color customization does not change the color of loudspeakers frame and diaphragm. When selecting a color, it's important to note that while the color code on the website corresponds to the material color code, the perceived color of the finished product depends on various factors and may differ from expectations. Additional charges for color selection are not refundable if the product is returned. The speaker's housing is 3D-printed using food-grade plastic, free from toxic paints and odor. It can be used in bedrooms, home offices, and other living spaces. With a small ecological footprint, the production process generates minimal waste. |

Perfect HarmonyWith precise speaker placement using the capabilities of 3D printing, the mid- and high-frequency sounds are perfectly synchronized. The transition frequency between the speakers ensures uniform sound reproduction, guaranteeing an accurate and spatially beautiful audio image. The slightly elevated positioning of the mid-frequency speaker reduces desktop reflections. A first-order filter is employed, preserving sound phase integrity across different frequencies. The default audio profile of the TiFi Argos allows it to be placed close to the side or rear walls of the desk, ensuring that bass reflected from the walls does not become too intrusive. |

Modern speakersA four-inch full-range speaker from the Taiwanese manufacturer Tang Band. The specially shaped paper membrane, reinforced with bamboo fibers, and the aluminum phase plug allow for sound reproduction in the range of 60 - 20,000 Hz. Low harmonic distortion and a powerful motor enable both high volume and a clear sound image. The Chinese manufacturer AIYIMA's planar magnetic ribbon tweeter complements the high-frequency portion of the full-range speaker. With a wide and uniform horizontal dispersion profile, movement within the listening area does not result in changes to the sound image. A narrower vertical dispersion profile reduces reflections from the table and ceiling. |
