All the Organ Expressions' Speaker designs are the result of
over three years of dedicated research and development by Gary Jordan of Organ
Expressions in Joplin, Missouri and Gary Lavengood of Concert
Systems LLC of South Bend, Indiana. The objective was to developed a line of
speakers specifically tailored to give the most musical voice to digital pipe organ
sounds. Consideration has been given to scale and application for both residence
and public venue installations. Improvements are being made all the
time.
Concert Systems LLC has been
building custom speaker systems for homes, studios, stages and musicians since
the early 70's. Their designs use a wide variety of transducers from
a large group of manufactures. This option allows them to combine the best
elements from many sources. Quality components and professional practices are
the key elements in every speaker they build.

factory speakers and an OE custom speaker package.
Please listen on high quality speakers or headphones to better appreciate the improvement
in the organ's sonority. These selections were recorded with
professional equipment in an average sized living room.
The following selections were recorded with
professional equipment on location. All MP3 demonstrations are 320 kbs
in 16 bit, 44.1kHz.

CLAIM -- All Organ
Expression's offerings are premium products. This includes all the
choices for loudspeaker systems. Inexpensive, off the shelf
speakers are available from any mail order box shop. Premium Organ
Expressions speaker systems designed specifically for organ reproduction
are only available from Jordan Media Enterprises LLC, and Concert
Systems LLC.
OPTIONS --Oh, the possibilities are almost endless. Some organ
installations will simply use a pair of speakers with a single sub
woofer. Other organ systems will use a pair of speakers and a pair of sub
woofers for each division in the organ (great, swell, pedal, etc.) Still more elaborate arrangements will use
one, two or three speakers and perhaps a sub woofer for each rank in a sample
set with specialized speakers for pedal ranks. Organ
Expressions can work to assist you in assembling your ultimate speaker
arrangement for your organ installation.
Organ music often has sustained tones at high volumes and in several
octaves with intense harmonic structures all at the same time. All OE speaker elements are specifically
selected for their ability to deliver extremely low distortion with high power
capacity.
Traditional home stereo speakers are not designed with the idea of reproducing
the highly complex organ
sounds. The sensitive microphones used to sample the
nuances of real organ pipes require a speaker system that can clearly
present these refined tones with power, integrity and precision.
CROSSOVERS -- The
passive filters that divide a full-range audio signal into separate
regions to be fed to tweeters and woofers - are constructed of the very
best separate components - air-core inductors, precision film and
foil bypass caps, and close tolerance resistors. They
utilize various sloped filters that allow each driver to operate
within its optimized frequency range.
WARRANTEE
-- Organ Expressions warrants that loudspeaker enclosures will be
free from defects in workmanship and materials for the period of five
years from the date of sale to the original owner unless noted
otherwise.
