Using these three transducers the result is a breathtaking coherent sound as all the
audio frequency band is covered by loudspeakers of the same height, made with the
same diaphragm materials and magnets, with a sensitivity of 93dB or more.
Our Technology
All our speakers are dipoles that approximate the ideal concept of a line source. This
is giving the best interaction with the room acoustics without the need for heavy room
treatment and minimum influence on sound given by the listening position.
Cross-over frequency is low enough to avoid interference and directivity problems,
typically at about 700Hz between woofer and mid-tweeter and about 5000Hz between
mid-tweeter and super-tweeter. Any phase rotation is limited by the use of moderate
slope filtering.
Top quality Mundorf components are used heavily in the cross-over to respect the
information contained in the signal, including the very big binding posts.
All our speakers use similar technology with push-pull ribbon (planar) woofer and an
exclusive compact unit of ribbon mid-tweeter and ribbon super-tweeter with a
frequency response well beyond the audio frequency top limit.
Extremely powerful magnets allow high sensitivity and dynamics.
Our ribbon woofers merge the typical wide surface of planar speakers with the long
stroke of cone speakers. This is making an incredibly powerful low frequency
response, together with all the typical benefits of planar speakers in terms of speed
and micro-dynamics.
The push-pull design used in every transducer is creating low harmonic distortion and
the proprietary diaphragms are powered on almost all the surface to create the best
control and the reduction of all time domain distortions, the most harmful to the
sound.
Heavy gauge steel is used for the structure and it is keeping the distortions related to
the frame at the minimum, with the help of the considerable total weight and of our
proprietary insulating feet that keep the energy reflected by the constraint to the floor
as small as possible. All the other materials used are chosen for their vibration
damping behavior like acrylic plastic, PVC and precious solid teak wood.
All these features contribute to the incredible sense of sound out of the air as opposite
to the sound out of the speakers, an amazing sense of effortless power and coherence
throughout the audio spectrum, so that you can listen to the music and forget about
loudspeakers and hi-fi equipment.
Our preferred standard finish is black glossy acrylic with natural teak profiles, but
other colors and finishes can be made on request.
