The first loudspeaker to be matched to your room
There is always the prejudice that big reference-speakers need a big room to show their strengths. As normal livingrooms differ a lot from acoustically optimized studios we integrated a sophisticated room equalization system into the Arabba.
Many living-rooms sound bright with long reverberation. Put the equalization bridge into the “Low“-position to take away the sharpness. An overdamped room always sounds boring. Here the “High“-position is of course benefitial. Start in the “Linear“-position to get a good feeling for the acoustical properties of your room.
The bass response, too, can be adapted to your room. Small rooms prefer the “Low“- position while large rooms need the “High“-position. Of course you can use the „Low“-position in small rooms if you like a big bass or if you want to compensate the ear’s low sensitivity for deep frequencies when played in low loudness.
Why a frequency crossover?
Like practically all renowned reference loudspeakers in the world the Arabba is a three-way loudspeaker. This means that the frequency range between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz is divided into three sections: the bass, midrange and highs which are irradiated by different drivers. This is recommendable because woofers have to be big and heavy and tweeters small and light.
The frequency crossover is a complicated circuit made up of resisitors, capacitors and inductors which direct the three frequency regions to their corresponding drivers. Unfortunately the use of only a single capacitor and an single inductor leads to poor separation and the drivers overlap over a very broad frequency band. Moreover, each of them gets too much electric power which results in poor dynamics and low power capability. Up to now frequency filters up to the 4.th order that means with 24 db/octave steepness were thought to be the highest feasible separation. The Arabba goes far beyond that: The Arabba works with a unique steepness of separation of more than 50 dB/octave!
Prejudices often mentioned against steep filters causing loss in dynamics and spaciousness are definitely destroyed by the Arabba – exactly these features are its strengths! Excellent power handling with high acoustical output, no sharpness in the highs and a realistic natural response even at high output levels will convince you of our concept of the Arabba.You just need to sit down and listen to some seconds of your favorite tracks and you can tell the difference!
Bauteile Further reasons for the Arabba to play on such a high level are the excellent components used inside. Silver-oil filled foil-capacitors, foil-inductors, air-core inductors for lowest distortion, transfomer-like inductors, all from Mundorf/Germany for lowest resistance and high amplifier damping, WBT-terminal connectors as well as many other highest quality components selected by the ear feature the long list of Arabba’s ingredients.
You see that the Arabba is in all details one of the most sophisticated speakers in the world! Just waiting for to tempt you!
