Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers is the little one of the two current electrostatic models from Quad which run four panels instead of the 8 of the bigger model. The ESL2812’s come with Quad’s classic push-pull technology which has been the leading electrostatic speaker design since ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌1957.

Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers

The Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers is our top selling full range ESL model. It utilises six electrostatic panels, the inner two of which have concentric rings of anodes. To construct the point source image. Namely, the music signal is injected the same way it leaves to the electrodes, but each electrode differs from the others.

Latest Generation

The Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers act as the latest generation of the famous full range electrostatic loudspeaker that started with the Quad ESL. Also called the Quad 57, the first one to appear in the entire world.

Improvements over the outgoing model include an upgraded power supply along with a new acoustically transparent grille. We’re pleased to say the Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers improve on the outgoing model where it really matters though. Sounding even better and creating their trademark holographic soundstage beautifully.

In addition, they also stand slightly taller, narrower and less deep, making them easier to accommodate, and feature additional wood finishing on the top and sides of the bases.

Outstanding Sound Reproduction

Quad’s patented panel technology results in a combination of the speed and accuracy only possible from an electrostatic loudspeaker. Together with the imaging and sound-staging only possible from a theoretically ideal point source; and the coherence and continuity of a single drive unit.

With possibly the lowest distortion of any loudspeaker. The ESL can be enjoyed for hours on end without fatigue. Never adding or subtracting from the original recording. Even at low volume levels, they retain the full detail and drama of the music.

Features and Benefits

• Electrostatic Technology: Delivers unmatched sound clarity and detail. Making you virtually part of the music.
• Elegant Design: Changes the look of any room significantly for the better.
• Immersive Audio Experience: Gives you a vivid experience. Becoming one with the performers and the music.
• Wide Frequency Response: Prioritising sound, the range of low-to-high frequencies shows the entire colour spectrum of sound.
• Low Distortion: The systematic removal of any distortion makes it possible to get pure and accurate audio reproduction.
• Energy Efficient: Low power consumption beats regular speakers by far.

Highlights of the Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ complexity of the manufacturing process is one of the major factors that explain the changes that can be more than heard in the Quad ESL-2812 Electrostatic Speakers. One example is that the manufacture of a single QUAD ESL panel takes longer. So the assembly of a complete electrostatic loudspeaker system is also given a lot of consideration time.

It is a meticulous process characterized by care and attention to detail. Besides, if you explore more, QUAD engineers have elevated the things to the ‘X level’ by some fascinating further ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌enhancements.
