Product Description
Pylon's Jade series of speakers deliver powerful yet vibrant, spatial sound, all encased in sophisticated, timeless cabinets with a vintage-inspired design.
Classic at heart, modern in soul.
The series comprises three models: Jade 10, Jade 20, and Jade 30. Each model is built around custom-designed paper woofers and a BMS compression driver integrated into a specially designed short Tractrix-profile horn. This configuration ensures precise, detailed high frequencies without the harshness often associated with stage horn speakers.
The speaker cabinets feature a distinctive front-panel bass-reflex port and are finished in natural American walnut veneer. Constructed with additional bracing and reinforcements in critical areas, they ensure exceptional structural rigidity. The design is completed with an acoustic fabric grille that enhances their visual elegance.
The Jade series delivers a vibrant sound characterised by a prominently pronounced foreground, rhythmic and powerful bass, and colourful highs. Its tuning is designed to create a welcoming, concert-like atmosphere for extended listening sessions while also excelling at low volumes, making it equally suitable for immersive listening or as a pleasant background for work and relaxation.
Jade 10
The smallest loudspeakers in the series, combining a compact form with surprisingly big, high-end sound – all enclosed in elegant, timeless vintage-style cabinets.
Jade 10 is the smallest loudspeaker in the Jade series – compact, yet full of inner strength. Designed for top-tier sound quality, it features advanced, high-efficiency electroacoustic drivers. The midwoofer delivers fast, colourful bass and a natural, expressive midrange. The tweeter offers crisp, smooth, and non-fatiguing highs. Thanks to its high-sensitivity drivers, the Jade 10 plays with maturity, spaciousness, and a natural sound – even when paired with low-powered tube amplifiers. The internal crossover is carefully tuned and built from linear components and foil capacitors, ensuring seamless driver integration.
In the lower and midrange frequencies, the Jade 10 uses a mid-woofer equipped with a modified cellulose cone with optimal internal damping, operating in a low-resonance suspension system. It’s supported by a powerful magnetic circuit with advanced field symmetrisation and eddy-current-reducing rings, ensuring maximum clarity and precision. The high-frequency range is handled by a professional compression driver, used in larger Jade models. It is paired with a short, custom Tractrix horn, which delivers a detailed yet smooth sound with a widened sweet spot. The tweeter uses a CCAW voice coil, combining lightness and excellent conductivity for accurate, high-resolution reproduction. Dual-sided winding ensures better cooling and lower compression, allowing for higher acoustic output.
Natural sheep wool damping eliminates standing waves and prevents unwanted sounds from escaping through the bass-reflex port. The front-firing bass reflex system, placed near the bottom of the front panel, performs best in near-boundary conditions – whether placed directly on the floor or on the dedicated accessory stand. Combined with its compact dimensions and the option to use an optional stand, Jade 10 is ideal for smaller rooms. The cabinet’s tilt, achieved through specially profiled feet, directs the sound wave toward the listener’s ear level, enabling ideal listening conditions even from low placement.
Optional steel speaker stands are available at $699.
