The Timbre Lock®
The Timbre Lock
®
is an Audiopax invention that allows the best possible match
of the distortion behavior of their amplifiers with any of their speakers, resulting in the
best distortion spectrum for the system as a whole (we can consider it as an
“adjustment to the lowest system distortion”). At its inception, for the first time the design
of an amplifier “sacrifices” the traditional concepts of measurements to prioritize the
listener's real perception. From the standpoint of distortion, which is usually the weakest
parameter in a speaker, it is also a setting that lets it achieve the maximum of its
performance.
Timbre Lock®
won the top award from Hi-Fi News , England's most
traditional audiophile magazine, the Industry Award 2003 for Best Valve Amplifier
Innovation , where it was described as a “ genius application that works; quite simply ”.
Timbre Lock
®
sound effects do not operate in the frequency domain, like
conventional tone controls, but rather optimize the residual harmonic distortion
spectrum between the amplifier and the speakers. This unique adaptability allows you to
control this critical interface of an audio system and thereby adjust instrumental tones,
micro-dynamics, general definition, bass impact and articulation, even the emotional
involvement factors and musicians 'presence' in your listening room.
Each system is different, as well as each listener has different musical values,
sensibilities, and preferences and all of these variables define the best Timbre Lock
®
adjustment
for you. The fact is that, when you get it right, things clearly stay in place.
Your musical appreciation and involvement will intensify and reach a higher level. But
as it is simply impossible to predict what your ideal configuration will be, we can only
give you a rough idea of how to adjust it, as you will see below.
An important note: The
Timbre Lock
®
adjustment should always be done without
the amplifier playing music, that is, it must be without signal at its input.
