ProAc
Tablette 10
The Tablette 10 is the tenth generation of the iconic Tablette design.
The Tablette 10 is a revealing compact mini monitor.
Designed to be versatile in many applications while retaining that classic British sound.
The cabinet design uses the same type of bass loading as the D30S and D48 models which makes the speaker easier to position with respect to its frequency response. The result is a wonderful open and expansive midrange with a substantial bass and sweet and detailed high frequencies from either ProAc tweeter option. A large sound stage is also a bonus.
The Response D48 was designed and built to replace ProAc previous flagship floorstander, the Response D40. By any measure this must have been a huge challenge as the D40 achieved cult status during it's production run. ProAc doesn't introduce new models just for fun or fashion, so the new D48R can be considered a totally new design. Indeed all it shares with the D40 is the cabinet size and the Brand name!
The Ribbon tweeter is a standout but the changes and improvements do not end there. The Mid/bass drivers are also a new ProAc design and likewise the crossover, designed by Stewart Tyler and assembled using the finest components.
So like the D40 but better. A more expansive soundstage, more detailed midrange with smoother more extended frequency response. The bass is tighter and even more tuneful. A worthy successor.
