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 20
The Pylon Jade 20 is an outstanding concert-like performer: a combination of “strong sound” with unlimited freedom and the natural scale of instruments. The loudspeakers sound vital, with a strongly marked foreground, rhythmic and strong bass, and colourful highs. This set creates a friendly concert atmosphere during hours long listening sessions as well as a suggestive background for both work and relaxation.
In this two-way design, we entrusted the lower bandwidth to a designed in house, 12-inch midwoofer with a classic, paper diaphragm. The BMS compression driver, responsible for the top, is working in a short tube with a Tractrix profile, specially designed by our engineers. The appropriate selection and efficiency of the transducers allowed us to obtain a bandwidth division at around 1200 Hz. Thanks to the 8-ohm impedance and efficiency of 91 dB, the Jade 20’s are easy to set up – they can be easily driven by a low-power tube amplifier and they’re showing their claws and full potential with a powerful transistor amp.
The gentle speaker tilt, achieved by specially profiled feet or an accessory taller stand, focuses the sound wave at the listener’s ear level. The Jade 20 is finished with a natural, oil-wax-coated American walnut veneer, emphasising the vintage aesthetic. The whole is completed by a speaker grille with classic peg mounts.
Optional steel speaker stands are available at $699.
