This means that the treble, \nmidrange, and bass each operate in their own areas, supporting a differentiated \nreproduction across the entire soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond Tweeter and Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe permanently installed Tweeter-on-Top places the tweeter visibly above \nthe cabinet. In combination with the Diamond dome tweeter, this creates a \nparticularly clear, precise, and open reproduction that brings out fine details in \nmusic recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoices and Instruments with High Fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Continuum™ cone in the midrange is designed for lifelike \nreproduction of voices and instruments.

Together, they form the technical basis for precise, \ncontrolled, and spatial music reproduction:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Resonance Plug:\u003c\/strong\u003e This mushroom-shaped plug \n  sits in the center of the driver instead of a normal dust cap. It specifically dampens \n  membrane vibrations, thus ensuring cleaner mids. \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiomimetic Suspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e Replaces the traditional fabric spider in the \n  midrange driver with a minimalist, skeletal structure. This dramatically reduces \n  air resistance and unwanted airborne sound behind the membrane, \n  making voices even more transparent. \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurbine Head:\u003c\/strong\u003e \n  The distinctive, teardrop-shaped aluminum enclosure for the midrange driver. Its \n  acoustically optimized shape is completely rigid and prevents \n  cabinet resonances, allowing the sound to unfold completely freely in the room. \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatrix™:\u003c\/strong\u003e An \n  internal, cross-bracing skeleton made of wood or composite materials that \n  makes the loudspeaker cabinet extremely rigid. It ensures that the cabinet \n  remains absolutely stable and does not color the sound. \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAerofoil™ Cone Bass Units:\u003c\/strong\u003e These woofers \n  have a special, wing-shaped profile in cross-section. They are \n  particularly thick and stiff where the highest forces act – the result \n  is an extremely controlled, distortion-free, and powerful bass. \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowport™:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bass reflex port features small \n  dimples (similar to a golf ball). This minimizes \n  air turbulence during inflow and outflow, preventing \n  airflow noise and ensuring precise, punctual bass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Placement and Room\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recommend a minimum room size of 20 m² for the \nloudspeakers. In smaller rooms under 20 m², there is a risk that the \ntwo powerful 180mm Aerofoil bass drivers will acoustically overload the room. This \ncan lead to imprecise booming and disturbing room modes. The maximum room size should be \naround 60 square meters. For even larger rooms, it lacks the absolute cabinet volume \nin the deep bass compared to its larger siblings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recommended distance to the wall should be at least 50 cm and a maximum of 1.50 m \n.
