Here are some of the important points about the Rushmore speakers.
INTRODUCTION Pass Labs is pleased to introduce the “Rushmore” loudspeaker system, the first loudspeaker designed as a commercial offering for Pass Labs by legendary analog designer Nelson Pass. The “Rushmore” represents 30 years of gestation and over three years of intensive development, revision and thoughtful listening by Nelson Pass and the staff at Pass Labs. This is an exceptionally dynamic and tonally balanced active four-way listening system featuring a 15 inch woofer, 10 inch lower midrange, 6 inch upper midrange and a 4 inch ribbon tweeter. Fit, finish and build quality is exceptional, and like all Pass Labs product it represents the labor of a few very dedicated technicians and talented craftspeople. We believe this to be the most sonically and technologically advanced listening system available to the consumer today. We also believe the “Rushmore” loudspeaker system makes sense for today’s lifestyle choices and conveys a tangible and palpable value to the high-end audio experience. This loudspeaker system minimizes your hardware and cabling concerns thus allowing you to concentrate on the delightful sonic experience of instrument and voice. The “Rushmore” is a very sophisticated and complete system that invites you to look past the technology, and feel entertained both visually and auditorially. This unique listening system contains four independent purpose-built low wattage amplification packages plus a Nelson Pass designed four-way active electronic crossover within each loudspeaker. Each driver receives amplification from it’s own carefully tailored amplifier using Pass Labs proprietary circuit topologies. Each amplifier has performance characteristics, which have been optimized to best suit the assigned driver. Three 10 watt single ended Class A amplifiers power the two midrange and top end driver, and a 40 watt Aleph-X Super-Symmetric amplifier is dedicated to powering the woofer. The careful integration of high efficiency speaker drivers and four low wattage class A amplifiers has given practicality to a full range “Class A” driven loudspeaker, unique in the ability to deliver approximately 120 dB of exceptionally wide bandwidth acoustic energy at low levels of acoustic distortion. No longer is the sonic magic of “Class A” restricted to powering your favorite tweeter. “Rushmore” brings this amplifier magic to a dynamic nine-octave loudspeaker system.
