MASTER LINE SOURCE 2 GEN2

UNIQUE RIBBON TECHNOLOGY

Our exceptional ribbon technology embodies decades of expertise and precise craftsmanship. The midrange tweeters, unsurpassed worldwide, are manufactured by hand in a highly complex procedure that requires nothing but perfection. With its level of detail and degree of efficiency, the ribbon clearly surpasses the performance of a conventional midrange or tweeter. Its excellent sound characteristics result from a wafer-thin aluminum foil diaphragm and several flat coils, which are etched out in a very complex spray-etching process. With a mere 20 μm thickness, the membrane acts as a voice coil and simultaneously as the actual driver. The moving mass, driven by the strongest neodymium magnets, is an ultra-light seven milligrams, creating unrivaled impulse behavior and superior resolution.

ACOUSTIC LENS WITH BACKWARD LAMELLAE

The acoustic lens contributes significantly to optimizing the acoustic properties. Due to its elaborate construction, the sound emitting backward is transformed into a diffuse sound field, producing a perfect soundscape even in acoustically challenging rooms. Using diffraction and reflection, the black-lacquered lamellae distribute the sounds evenly so that the speakers can be placed close to the wall or anywhere else in the room.

SYMMETRIC LINE SOURCE

Line source speakers, also known as line source drivers, carry music lovers with the highest demands off into an impressive sound universe. Compared to conventional loudspeakers, the sound waves of a line source driver expand vertically in a cylindrical shape. This characteristic allows the sounds of the mid and high ranges to reach the listener directly without being reflected from the ceiling or the floor. In addition, line sources have excellent impulse fidelity, allowing instruments to be reproduced in their full dynamic range and large orchestras to shine with authentic vigor. The symmetric array of the midrange also improves the horizontal radiation pattern and produces a more homogeneous soundstage.

WOOFERS WITH ALUMINUM MEMBRANES

The applied aluminum membranes are incredibly rigid and, at the same time, ultralight for fast and accurate pulse response. With a very low mechanical loss, higher efficiency, and exceptional fine dynamics, they are an ideal symbiotic partner for our ribbon technology.A masterpiece of loudspeaker construction made from the hands of masters of the ultimate in audio enjoyment.
