The ARMONIA is the second model in the Apertura range that comes in an alternative and more performing version: The ARMONIA Evolution.
The concept remains unchanged : using the same basis but with the implementation of a bigger ribbon tweeter and a brand new cross-over, we are now able to offer a loudspeaker which surpass the performances of our best seller, ARMONIA.
Armonia Evolution has also a new cabinet design, making this new speaker even more elegant. And as for all other models, great attention is given to the smallest details.
DRIVE UNITS
- 18 cm mid/woofer isotactic matrix a woven polypropylene composite cone. This material combines stiffness, lightness and good damping properties.
Long voice coil for a high linear excursion - New generation of ribbon tweeter, using a flat metalized polymer diaphragm.
Its emissive area is twice that of the Armonia tweeter. A double surface will reduce the movements of the ribbon, and thus the distortion.
The result is an increase dynamic capacity and a higher resolution
CROSSOVER
- Proprietary DRIM structure with a triple attenuation slopes and phase control over the entire bandwidth.
- A brand new crossover for the Armonia Evolution with two independent circuits boards for low-pass and High-pass sections.
Selection of very high end capacitors. - Each set of drive units (tweeter and mid/woofer) are individually measured and crossover values adjusted according to these sets measurements.
- Hand wiring on a 140 m copper printed circuit board.
- Optimized crossover structure to avoid magnetic interference between components
- Bornier en cuivre pur, plaqu argent.
ENCLOSURE
- This new model uses the Apertura very specific cabinet shape: two curved sides of different length and no parallel front and back panels.
- Laminar structure based on multiple thin layers pressure molded.
Such process creates breaking modes and limit propagation of vibrations. - Internal multi-cavity framework to stiffen the structure and create very specific areas where damping materials can be applied.
- Importance is given to damping treatment to cancel any standing waves. We are using 3 different types of dumping materials.
- Mechanical grounding: a central cone positioned on the axis of the center of gravity improved vibrations transfer to the floor.
- New aluminum stands and spikes available. Choice of 2 anodized colors: black or silver.
- 5 differents standard finishes available :
- Satin: light oak, american walnut
- High Gloss: rosewood, figured maple, piano black, white
