MarkAudio NC5H_UTAG Mahogany Bookshelf Speaker Set (1 Pair)

The NC5H_UTAG Mahogany is a special model designed to fully bring out the characteristics of the Alpair 5G equipped with a UTAG glass diaphragm, paying careful attention to both material and structure.
What really matters in speaker reproduction is not just the frequency response numbers. Only when the time axis—from the birth of a sound, its resonance, to its fading—is accurately reproduced can the natural expression of musical instruments be restored.

UTAG’s Time-Axis Reproduction Approaching the Ideal

The sound of musical instruments consists of four elements: Attack (the onset), Decay, Sustain (maintenance of resonance), and Release (ending of the sound).
The UTAG glass diaphragm, being lightweight with fast transmission speed, accurately reproduces the attack and naturally shapes the decay with appropriate damping characteristics. It is this combination of speed and resonant beauty that makes UTAG extremely attractive to speaker manufacturers. The resulting sound has a transparency as if drawing back a curtain, rendering music with a delicacy reminiscent of 8K visuals.

Full Use of Solid Mahogany for Musical Instruments

The NC5H_UTAG Mahogany uses solid mahogany, highly acclaimed as wood for musical instruments, throughout the entire cabinet. This mahogany is selected at a level suitable for handmade guitars and features a rich harmonic structure and natural resonance.
It is particularly effective in reproducing string instruments and pianos. When paired with the Alpair 5G equipped with the UTAG diaphragm, it beautifully harmonizes clear transparency and rich instrument resonance.

Broadband Reproduction Beyond its Compact Size

NC5H_UTAG_Mahogany achieves wideband and high-quality playback that is hard to imagine for an 8cm class speaker unit. Two φ25mm bass reflex ducts are used, and unnecessary resonance is dispersed by changing the length of each. Despite its compact size, the low frequency range extends naturally to 53Hz (-10dB), and the mid-to-high range maintains clear visibility.

Cabinet structure that makes the most of the sound of the instrument

NC5H UTAG mahogany follows the design philosophy common to the Nature Collection, with a structure that maximizes the resonance of solid wood. Mahogany wood's unique overtone pattern resonates naturally throughout the enclosure, adding depth and substance to your music.

A device to deeply enjoy musicality

NC5H_UTAG_Mahogany's sound is free from flashiness and exaggeration. However, the rise of each note,
The more you listen to the persistence of the resonance and the beauty of the end, the more you will be drawn into its rich musicality.
Excellent time-based reproduction of the UTAG diaphragm and the resonance of solid mahogany for musical instruments. The sound produced by this combination has a charm that makes you want to keep listening to it for a long time.
