RealTraps  RealTraps has announced a new use and mounting arrangement for their existing line of bass traps and acoustic panels. MiniGobos are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to favor either isolation, bass trapping, or broadband absorption. MiniGobos are based on RealTraps' standard line of MiniTraps, MicroTraps, and MondoTraps, using hinges to join two or more panels together as a single unit that is stable, easy to handle, and self-supporting. The hinged MiniTraps adds substantial bass trapping in any room. As bass traps or broadband absorbers, MiniGobos are an attractive and portable room treatment solution that avoids the need for stands or wall mounting. Simply place the hinged panels at right angles in each corner for bass trapping, or in a shallow "V" at reflection points.

 

Dynaudio Excite X36 LoudspeakerDynaudio has unveiled the company's new Excite loudspeaker series that combines high-end audio performance that does not require the highest grade of amplification to sound convincing according to the company. Dynaudio claims that the reasoning is that the Excite models have been specifically designed to make the most of any amplifier's or receiver's power, yet their specifications say these are harder to drive 4 Ohm load versus easier to drive 8 Ohm designs plus the Excite line has a low 89dB/W/m sensitivity for the X36 large floorstander to a much lower 86dB/W/m for the Excite X12. Dynaudio also says these new models are able to quickly and precisely following the music signal and "convert every Watt into nothing but pure music". Perhaps the marketing department and the engineers should have a talk as this is far from 100 percent conversion of each watt to actual acoustic output, let alone proper high sensitivity as found in current 100dB/W/m designs offered by other companies. In any event, Dynaudio employed new driver technology including MSP (magnesium silicate polymer) membranes, which offer stiffness, inner damping, and low mass. The cones structure is mounted to die-cast aluminum frame baskets to ensure a rigid, low mass construction that avoids resonance and vibrations. Lightweight aluminum voice coils are said to yield an extremely light moving system and ensure an ideal impulse response. The phase aligned first-order crossover networks and soft dome tweeters help round out the company's new Excite line. Seen here is the top line Excite X36 three-way floorstander that includes dual 18cm woofers, 11cm midrange and soft dome tweeter ($3,600 per pair). Other models in the new Excite line are the X32 two-way floorstander with dual 14.5cm mid/bass and tweeter ($2,800 per pair), Excite X16 two-way monitor with 18cm mid/bass and tweeter ($1,600 per pair) and Excite X12 two-way monitor with 14.5cm mid/bass and tweeter ($1,200 per pair). All models are available in a choice of Rosewood, Cherry, Black Ash or Maple real-wood finishes.

The Absolute Sound Issue 182 -- June / July 2008  Enjoy the Music.com now offers a world's first look at the June / July edition of The Absolute Sound (Issue 182) with complete table of contents and editorial! This edition marks the magazine's prestigious 2008 Golden Ear Awards for both equipment and music! This is a must-see issue! Within Robert Harley's editorial, titled Getting To Know You, he states, "I'd like to thank the more than 1400 readers who returned the survey card included in Issue 177. That number of responses alone says a lot about you and the passion you have for music and high-end audio. But the details in the data say even more about your interests and hi-h systems, and what you think of The Absolute Sound.

About a third of you have audio systems with retail prices of $50,000 or more. Although that's a high dollar figure, many TAS readers have been involved in high-end audio for decades, and these readers' systems reflect years and years of upgrades. A "sweet spot" for a complete system seems to be between $6000 and $15,000, a range that describes nearly a quarter of your audio systems."

Amphion Krypton2 LoudspeakerAmpphion will be having a world first preview of their new Krypton2 (12,800€) full range loudspeaker at the High End 2008 event in Munich. The Krypton2 utilizes a cardioid dispersion pattern to decrease unwanted room reflections and allow one to hear less of the room and more of the loudspeaker. Cardioid dispersion is achieved via large tweeter waveguide and placing the two 8” midranges in their separate flow controlled chambers. The cardioid chambers reduce the energy to the side by 5dB and 20dB to the rear, and allow to midranges to work in nearly open-air conditions. Newly developed midrange drivers made by SEAS utilize a new wood and plant fiber membrane. A newly designed titanium tweeter, also made by SEAS, is housed in a proprietary waveguide. Overall frequency response is from 19Hz to 30kHz with a sensitivity of 87dB/W/m and impedance of 4 Ohms. Driver compliment is a single tweeter, pair of 8-inch ribbed wood and plant fiber cones by Seas and 10-inch Nomex woofers by Peerless. Box dimensions are 1370 x 240 x 470 (HxWxD in mm).

A smaller brother to the Amphion Krypton2 is the new Prio 620, with the drivers placed vertically in a WTW format in accordance with their Amphion Time Accurate Point Source (TAPS) system. The Prio 620 is based on 6.5-inch woofer and a new Seas sourced tweeter and it is available in white, black and birch. Also of note is the Prio 510 two-way bookshelf based on the new 5.25 Peerless Nomex driver and 25 mm titanium tweeter. Lastly, Amphion's new Argon2 Anniversary (1680€ in white) is a celebration of their 10th year Anniversary. A newly developed Titanium tweeter, which was developed for the Krypton project, is employed for the uppermost frequencies. It has a slightly modified crossover design as well as Gold plated WBT binding posts. Argon2 Anniversary is available in white, black, birch and cherry.

 

Holfi Batt2riia PhonostageHolfi will have a world premier of their new Batt2riia (2150€) next generation battery powered MM/MC phono preamplifier at the High End 2008 show in Munich. The Batt2riia combines unique features including battery power and current amplification. This combination is said to achieve extraordinary low noise level and audiophile sound quality far beyond it's price tag. This second generation Batt2riaa is a further development of the original, now with a larger and more refined power supply and larger batteries. It also contains the WBT Nextgen RCA connectors. Normally, phonostages are voltage amplification designs, and at Holfi they work with the fact that transistors are by nature a current amplifying device (unlike tubes or FETs). According to the company, using them in accordance with their nature gives several advantages: The transistor produces much less distortion and less noise. Because of their low internal impedance MC cartridges deliver a quite potent current signal, much higher than a typical MM cartridge. As all other Holfi electronics the Batt2riaa is a single ended design and totally without global feedback. Overall frequency range is a super wide 2Hz to 1.3MHz with an RIAA accuracy of +/- 0.2 dB.

Linn Majik LP12 Turntable  Linn has once again put forth their vinyl expertise as the company's new Majik LP12 ($3750) turntable combines decades of analog engineering! Combining the legendary 35 year old LP12 performance at lower entry fee, the Majik LP12 consists of an internal Majik LP12 power supply, solid base board, Adikt MM cartridge and Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm. Like the original LP12, the Magik LP12 performance can be further improved over time by upgrading the turntable with any one of Linn's range of turntable accessories, such as a Lingo external power supply, Keel sub-chassis and armboard, Akito tonearm, Klyde cartridge, and Trampolin base board. "The Magik LP12 lets even more music lovers access Sondek performance from their cherished vinyl; it's also fully upgradeable and can improve any Hi-Fi system." said Ivor Tiefenbrun MBE, Founder and Chairman of Linn Products. "It's fantastic that after thirty five years, not only is our first product still going strong, but more people than ever are continuing, resuming or just starting an enduring love affair with the LP format." The Magik LP12 is available in various woo and solid colors.

05/2004 Linn has done it again with a successful partnership with critically acclaimed automobile manufacturer Aston Martin to offer audio systems within their vehicles. First came the Linn entertainment system within the V12 Vanquish approximately a year ago, and today they extend their products to be offered as standard within Aston Martin's new DB9.

The Aston Martin DB9 does produce a mere 450bhp from their 6-liter V12 engine. Fitted as standard in the DB9 includes Linn's 128W Audio System that consists of a 5-channel stereo amplification and loudspeaker solution. Four 22 wpc. amplifiers, developed from Linn's latest ultra-linear CHAKRA technology, drive two loudspeakers situated in stereo configuration in the vehicle's doors. Each of these active loudspeakers contains a 4-inch mid-range drive unit and a 1-inch tweeter. An additional 40-watt amplifier drives the 8-inch bass reinforcement loudspeaker which is situated between the rear seats. The Linn 260W Audio System is the mid-level option in the range, offering greater power and the addition of Limbik-powered surround sound, delivering superior sound and tuneful performance that is simply totally involving. Surround sound processing in the Linn 260W System is handled by Linn's proprietary Limbik software algorithm which converts a normal stereo signal into 6 discrete channels of pitch-accurate sound, immersing the driver in the performance. Those seeking the best package available will opt for Linn's 950W Audio System with reference quality Chakra amplification powered by Linn's proprietary Switch Mode Power Supply technology resulting in substantially greater power output and improved sound quality with ten channels of 75W driving the active full-range loudspeakers and an additional 200W driving the active bass reinforcement loudspeaker. This system also has servo-controlled bass reinforcement loudspeakers using an accelerometer to provide the correct feedback required for pitch accurate performance down to the lowest frequencies. On an updated side note, Aston Martin now chooses Band & Olufson for their in-car audio system.

 

Tonian Labs UCDRTonian Labs now offers the ultimate decoupling resonators, the UCDR ($495 for set of three), which are are designed to work under CD-players, amplifiers, preamplifiers and loudspeakers. The company claims that energy is transferred to a single point, this way the whole system will resonate on a single point in one frequency and that way there will be more focus for the reproduced music. Basically, the way they work is by taking the vibration energy to a single point, which is more like putting your equipment on top of a needle. Each unit is made with a combination of bronze, brass, and wood.

 

ElectrocompanietElectrocompaniet, a Norwegian manufacturer who recently acquired Nordic Tone, will be introducing their new Prelude Maestro high-end home entertainment center at Munich's High End 2008 event. This all-in-one system from Electrocompaniet includes amplifiers, tuner, CD, SACD and DVD player integrated into one unit that fits easily into any modern interior. The Class AB amplifiers produces three channels of 120 watts, while the DVD player includes upscaling to 1080P and has HDMI output. The new DAB radio system and a selection of functions can be installed in the available expansion slot. As an option, users can add wireless rear amplification consisting of two channels at 75 watts each. This allows for full 5 channel surround sound. A pair of self-powered subwoofers can be connected to the Prelude Maestro. As for, Nordic Tone, the company has been acquired by Electrocompaniet including all patents, products and rights to the Norwegian loudspeaker projects.
