Enclosure Construction:
Form pressed Solid wood over multi layered Finnish Beech plywood.
This construction in itself has a subjective more pleasing harmonic structure than solid wood alone or solid MDF.
Form
pressing minimises the need for panel damping by leaving an inherent
force in the structure that in itself causes faster decay of non wanted
vibration.
The
internal fan shaped reinforcement structure in combination with the
externally machined Canals in the solid wood, divides the side walls in
separate segments with less vibration differentiated to multiple
frequencies, resulting in a minimum of colouration.
Internal acoustics:
The
internal pressure is guided and controlled by the fan shaped
reinforcement structure, and a full height vertical reinforcement
structure. These critically positioned structures time align the
coupling to the port openings and hold the internal acoustic dampening
material to achieve an optimum of dynamic linearity simultaneously with
a well damped acoustic environment.
Port openings:
5mm
thick Solid machined aluminium, threaded directly into the plywood/solid wood, minimises the resonances of the port itself,
increases accuracy of the tuning and minimising port turbulence &
noise.
The connection terminals:
Are solid stainless steel over brass and Gold plated OFC copper.
The Terminals are designed to minimise contact resistance by optimizing the surface contact area by using striped wire.
The terminals also accept Banana plugs, or custom spades.
The front cover:
is designed to have no audible influence on the performance.
We use solid stainless steel side rods and high quality fabric woven rubber strings to protect the drivers.
The floor coupling devices & spikes:
are
designed to be non resonant by having a rubber pad adding force into
the spike itself, thereby eliminating resonance of the combined
structure.
Hard Floor protective coupling devices are supplied with the speakers, assuring best possible protection of delicate floors.
The spike systems are made of solid stainless steel
The stainless steel base
for the S3 has been chosen to lower the point of gravity thus optimising stability.
The spike system is bolt on, semi integrated into the steel & black MDF base.
Drivers are specially optimised for the El Superiores.
The Midrange & woofer for the S3 are optimised for maximum impulse behaviour and the cones are hand treated.
Both
are receiving a specially developed hand applied treatment of the cone
structure that minimises colouration and optimises the natural
reproduction of voices and instruments.
The NRLI network. Non Resonant Linked Impulse
solution:
-NRLI is designed to operate in the time-domain and perform resonance control.
-NRLI aligning the drive-units impulse wise
-NRLI is optimising the resonant behaviour of the individual drivers and the network itself .
DC coupled midrange: DCCM
-The DCCM's purpose is to eliminate the phase shift between the midrange and woofers seen in conventional network designs.
-The
DC coupling means that the midrange driver is directly connected to the
amplifier, not using a capacitor to filter the low frequencies.
-The
DCCM filtering (attenuation) of low frequencies is done by using a
combination of series and parallel layout of the network, thereby
achieving the attenuation of the lower frequencies without adding
phase shift to the midrange signals.
The GamuT “WormHoles” cables.
A new GamuT development.
-The “WormHoles” optimises the impulse behaviour and controls the resonant character of the cable load
-The “WormHoles” design minimises the influence by the electric insulation
-The design consists of individual insulated conductors, with a special surrounding woven material.
-The “WormHoles” design weaves two individual wires into one single pair of wires.
-The
“WormHoles” are directional, which means that even internally in the
speaker one end is connected to the terminals, the other end to the
drivers
-The “WormHoles” proprietary design minimises stored energy in the cable, and disperses it away from the signal path
-The Benefit: Transparency, Clarity & Freedom of colouration and resonance.
-“More music less noise”
