Designed with the same technical rigor as the larger models in the range, it features a high-performance 13 cm treated paper woofer and a precision tweeter. It is the ideal choice for near-field listening or for rooms up to 15 m2, where it delivers a surprisingly balanced and articulate musical performance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 13 cm Treated Paper Woofer: This driver is the secret to the Ariane 1’s musicality. The treated paper cone provides a very light and stiff diaphragm, allowing the speaker to respond quickly to musical transients and reproduce vocals with natural warmth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined High-Frequency Driver: The tweeter is designed to offer a soft yet detailed high-end.

It excels at \"imaging\"—the ability to place instruments and voices precisely in space. While it doesn't try to produce deep, earth-shaking bass, it offers a very rhythmic and punchy low-end that makes acoustic music, jazz, and vocals sound remarkably intimate. It is a speaker that values accuracy and musical \"flow\" above all else.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Critics Say?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The Perfect Desktop Companion\" (Digital Audio): Highly praised for its clarity when used in near-field setups for gaming or home office music.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Incredible Imaging\" (Stereo Review): Critics were impressed by how well this small speaker can create a three-dimensional soundstage in small rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"True Davis DNA\" (Hifi Test): Noted for retaining the famous \"paper cone\" midrange character of the more expensive Davis models in a budget-friendly, tiny package.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType: bookshelf – 2 ways\/2 drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer : 13cm fiber glass (5″)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter: 25 mm soft dome and heat sink\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response (+\/- 3 dB): 55…20000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Handling: 80W (Nominal) \/ 110W (Max)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity: 88 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance: 5 Ohms minimum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D): 28 x 16 x 20 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 6.2 kg for the pair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Groove Crust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57144669569407,"sku":null,"price":269.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/8580\/5439\/files\/davis-ariane-1-black-front.jpg?v=1773778603","url":"https:\/\/groovecrust.com\/bg\/products\/davis-acoustics-ariane-1-black-bookshelf-speakers-pair","provider":"Groove Crust","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
