Houston, USA | 2020 – Troy Audio Hellena MKII!

Our new Hellena MKII loudspeaker now comes with two completely separate enclosures, to dramatically improve the dynamic performance of the drivers and completely eliminate any acoustic interference between them. The bass is deeper and better controlled, and the uncolored midrange sounds as natural as possible.

We have chosen

We now use a crossover with ultra-premium elements manufactured in Denmark by Duelund. This exponentially increases resolution, and translates into an exceptionally warm, silky, natural sound never before produced by any loudspeakers.

The Hellena MKII uses a 604-8E alnico driver made by Great Plains Audio. The 604-E, known as the original reference standard for point-source drivers, approaches transparent sound reproduction possibly more closely than any other transducer.

The 604-E comprises a 15″ (381mm) low-frequency driver and a 1″ (25mm) high-frequency compression driver, both mounted on a single frame 16″ (406mm) in diameter. Each driver is structurally, magnetically, electrically, and mechanically independent of the other.

For the woofer, we use Great Plains Audio’s Model 515-C Series Low-Frequency Loudspeaker. Handmade, incorporating a massive alnico V magnetic assembly, and utilizing a relatively light cone assembly, it has deep, fast response.

The bass-reflex enclosure features horizontal ports on the front that honor traditional speaker designs of the late 1940s. Essentially, the ports help to increase efficiency, to generate more bass due to the long excursions of the voice coil—all of which reduces distortion to inaudible levels.

In Greek mythology, Helena represents “the light that shines in darkness”—the highest aspiration to near divine beauty. We believe that our Hellena MKII loudspeaker will change your perception of what the beauty of music can mean.
