Main features

TD-M1
World-class accurate sound, easy use and control using wireless playback and a remote control apps on iOS devices

The pursuit of faithful waveform reproduction from input to output

  • Compatible with high-resolution sound sources: 192kHz 24 bit input and output.
    192kHz/24 bit input interface capable of handling 6.5 times the amount of data on a CD (44.1kHz/16 bit). 192kHz/24 bit-compatible DA converter at output, for world-class SN ratio and distortion factor. Capable of playback that brings out the magic of high-quality original master-tape sound.
  • Non-oversampling DA converter (NOS-DAC), for clearer sound
    In order to remove the inaudible noises that occur when digital sound is converted into analog sound, over-sampling filters are normally used. However, this model includes an over-sampling-free mode, which removes the over-sampling filter while focusing on the accuracy of the temporal waveform. This makes it possible to play back with clearer sound, from the DA converter stage onwards.
  • Small form factor, high-efficiency digital amp
    To improve the fidelity of the input audio signal, the unit includes a carefully selected, high-efficiency digital amp, which acts as Class-D amp IC for excellent output voltage, remarkable SN ratio, and incredibly low distortion. An advanced circuit design focused on temporal waveform accuracy is used for the circuits around the amp IC.

Wireless playback available via AirPlay, aimed at perfect ease of use

  • AirPlay-compatible Wi-Fi® network media module included.
    iPhone, iPad & Mac* can be directly connected wirelessly without the need for a router. Enjoy excellent CD-quality (44.1kHz/16 bit) lossless audio streaming playback. *Available for Wi-Fi devices with AirPlay for iOS 4.3, Windows XP, Mac OS X 10.5, or iTunes 10.1 and later.
  • Smart operation with touch sensor and LED indicator
    Intuitive operation with touch sensor controls and an LED indicator showing the operational functions. Simple, easy to understand actions and a smooth, button-free exterior combine to allow both ease of use and a stylish design.
  • One-touch speaker angle adjustment
    The multi-angle adjustment function allows the user to choose between three angles (0° - 20°) with a single touch on the top of the speaker. This makes it possible to set the optimal listening point for the listener, and provides a world-class imaging.
  • Dedicated App for remote control functionality (only for iOS 6 or later)
    A dedicated iPhone App is available for free download and offers power, volume and input switching functionality.
    The external input (3.5mm stereo mini jack) allows connecting to TVs and other devices.

TD725SWMK2 / TD520SW / TD316SWMK2
Successors to the TD725sw high-speed subwoofer, winner of many awards from both Japanese and foreign magazines ? further refined for an expanded line-up
  • R2R TWIN DRIVER: world-class high-speed playback
    The subwoofer sports two powerful small-diameter drivers in rear-to-rear configuration, linked by an aluminum shaft. The design combines small-diameter driver speed with large-diameter driver power.
  • Digital power amplifier
    All models include highly efficient digital power amps to deliver astounding levels of bass for their sizes.
  • Selector for 5.1ch and 2.1ch playback compatibility (only for TD725SWMK2 and TD520SW)
    The TD725SWMK2 and TD520SW models have dual line-input selector functions. This allows for convenient remote control switching without the need to connect wires, even when an AV center or a stereo pre-amp are used.
  • LPF (low-pass filter) bypass function
    The LPF bypass function is for Blu-ray 5.1ch surround signals or signals that have already been tuned by LPF in an AV receiver. The bass delay can be controlled by using the lowest level LPF.
  • Infra-red remote controller for ease of use
    A compact remote control handset is included, for volume control, phase and mode switching. The TD725SWMK2 and TD520SW models also include a 5.1ch/2.1ch input switch.

Our aim

TD-M1

To deliver clear sound on the strictest standard in the world not only to Hi-Fi audio fans, but to all music fans

The TD-M1 is a fusion between the technical abilities gained from our development of time domain speakers and amps since the opening of business in 2001, and the very latest audio technologies. The system offers world-class accurate sound that can be enjoyed without the need for in-depth knowledge of the technology.
We not only offer world-class accurate sound demanded by knowledgeable and enthusiastic fans from the world of Hi-Fi audio, but also strive to offer the utmost simplicity of operation, to bring to all music enthusiasts, the musical expression of the finest artists, and the warmth of live music.

TD725SWMK2 / TD520SW / TD316SWMK2

The highest possible standards for accurate playback of fast deep bass,

Our first high-end subwoofer, the TD725sw, won high praise and earned numerous awards globally, for its accurate and high-speed bass playback. By improving all aspects of the TD725sw model, from performance to functionality and design, and by adding a more affordable model lineup, which incorporates those technologies, we have responded to the market demand. By using original technologies, we have achieved accurate bass sound playback combining power and speed, regardless of stereo or surround, making it possible to get closer to a sophisticated sound space and an ideal listening environment.

The ECLIPSE Home Audio Systems

Our home-audio systems, based on the time domain theory, are designed to deliver accurate reproduction of air movement, by which all sound is transmitted.
1. Clarity of sound, allows the listener to hear the tiniest sounds, like the breathing of a vocalist, that are the essence of true music
2. Spatial recreation, where the sound feels as though it is originating from the space around the listener and not from the speakers
3. Accurate reproduction of speed at the beginning and end of sound. This is a key factor on which the world’s top artists focus when performing

Since their release in 2001, our systems have won high praise from audio fans globally, along with Japanese and international top artists and recording engineers, for their accurate sound: Beginning with the birthplace of audio, Britain, Eclipse speakers have earned numerous top awards in France, Japan, and many other countries.
