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.
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
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.
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 µm copper printed circuit board.
Optimized crossover structure to avoid magnetic interference between components
Bornier en cuivre pur, plaqué argent.
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.
