Zu Soul Mk2 Loudspeaker

2013-12-03
hello everybody today we have a loudspeaker review and the subject of today's focus will be the sole mk2 by Zhu audio it's a full range driver system you can tell by one large speaker drives most of the sound out of this there's no additional sub woofer included on this pair there is however a coaxial tweeter embedded in the middle kind of tricky so that drives just the very top end maybe 12 Kayne above for the sound for these speakers so basically most of it the voice the bass and everything comes out of the big one it was just a little bit of like a sparkle on the top from the tweeter in the middle as you can see these speakers are actually not super large they're for a full sized speaker obviously a bookshelf is a little bit smaller but for a full size they come up to about just a bit lower than my hip so they're a little bit smaller than the company's entry-level product called the zoo omen which stands just a little bit taller also a full range driver setup however the tweeter is located separately right underneath the full range driver with that speaker the sole mk2 here starts around 2 grand now they start a little bit higher but the prices that you come down on them for 2 grand what do you get what's a step up from the omens and really with this speaker it's all about the clarity the transparency the way it relays information from the original according is just really fine the the accuracy is very very fine and it's a jump up it's definitely jump up so if you're looking for more clarity which a lot of you guys are this is essentially what you get for making that move up the product ladder overall I found these to have a slightly treble forward signature so there's a little bit more on the high end then some of the other speakers I had on hand if you're really into home theater may want to consider adding a separate subwoofer if you really like a lot of low end Rumble to your to your listening they have good bass I think it's very tight and accurate across the board coming from the bass through the mids like I said the the treble and the details extra extra fine on these so very nice kind of curve as far as frequency is concerned I think if you're into classical music and jazz these may very well be your cup of tea I think they fit very very nicely around things that are vocal centric as well they would also work great in a home theater setup as the front two channels if that's something that you're looking for you know aesthetics are always a matter of taste but for what it's worth I very much enjoy the stylings and and the external look of these loudspeakers the the black on white chrome I think really pops well and it looks classic without being too overbearing all great points they also zoo also offers a huge selection of finishes some for an additional charge but some even of the base models have great color a blue red this is the standard ghost black that you see here what as I said I bleak styling of these is pretty fun too I just think that they look good there there's very much understated but when you see them you kind of notice them and it's classic it's a nice classic look so this is the zoo sole mk2 every tales for around 2 grand it is a very nice loudspeaker if you're looking for a full range full size loudspeaker in that arena
