Continuum Audio Labs chose to “go back to the drawing
board” and examine the physics at play in analogue vinyl
replay systems. The physics were made visible by the use
of Finite Element Analysis software. The result was then
worked back to a practical implementation of currently
available materials and fabrication techniques.
This methodology is proven to advance technology not by
increments but by leaps and bounds.
What you are about to hear is a result of some very radical
thought processes and development methodologies.
You will ultimately be the judge of whether this design
approach delivers an advancement of the state of the art.
Many experienced audiophiles have validated our design
choices. Music lovers who have described the sound
emanating from a Cobra as being the closest they have
been to a master tape or live performance.
We hope you enjoy the Cobra as much as we do.
It’s seriously addictive!
COBRA’S DESIGN TEAM
Many very intelligent minds were brought
together to push the envelope of what was
imagined possible for tonearm technology,
and we would like acknowledge each one of them now.
Mark Doehmann
- Chief Designer
Marks’ passion for analogue sound reproduction combined
with his background in aeronautical and advanced
software engineering and advanced materials fabrication
techniques was used to transform his vision for the Cobra
from the “virtual world” to the end product.
David Payes
- Chairman, Continuum Audio Labs
David was the catalyst for the development of the Cobra,
and created the financial and creative freedom to push
the envelope. David is a passionate audiophile and has
had extensive input with technical design issues.
Dr Murali Murugasu MB.ChB. MBA
Murali is part of the core design team at Continuum
Audio Labs. His day to day involvement ensures that
our products meet various regional market requirements
and ensures that they works in harmony with other high
quality components to deliver a complete solution.
