The drive units have all been engineered from the ground up, using cast alloy components, yet retaining the essential character through the use of new woven Polypropylene cones and glass-fibre voice coils.
The cabinet work is, as you would expect from a product bearing the Castle name, first class. The hand-selected, book-matched pairs of veneers are sourced from the original suppliers to ensure continuity in the Castle legacy. Our dedicated ‘hand – finished’ team is trained to deliver the highest quality ‘furniture – grade’ finishes and build. No two pairs are the same!
Castle are proud to announce the Windsor Series, signalling the return to the UK for the manufacturing of Castle Loudspeakers. Castle Windsor Series comes, with the craftsmanship and quality that is self-evident and clearly marks the brand’s intention to restore and build upon the reputation of the brand for superlative quality loudspeakers.
Echoing the origins of the brand that was established in 1973; the speakers are hand built and hand finished, by our loudspeaker production experts, in England.
A Voice Coil of the Upper Class
The voice coils are made from glass fibre, bonded with high-temperature resin – the stiffness and rigidity of this material is extremely close to that of aluminium, but it doesn’t generate eddy currents like aluminium would. Thus, it maintains signal purity by its very design.
The mid/bass drivers’ magnet system includes an aluminium compensation ring, which helps to minimise impedance variations during operation. As a result, the harmonic and intermodulation distortion values are reduced, contributing greatly to an open and expressive midrange performance.
Arhitectural Veneers
Castle has long been famed for the craftsmanship evident in its wood-veneered loudspeaker cabinets and the new Windsor Series is no exception. Their cabinets sport a choice of architectural-grade walnut or mahogany veneers sourced from sustainable timbers; only deep-figured slices are used, cut from real trees rather than reconstituted mush. Each pair of speakers is hand-finished with mirror red, book-matched veneers, sealed and waxed in a process that takes several days. Only when a depth of character and lustre that befits the Castle name is reached are they released for final testing.
