Without any doubt and from all point of fiew MODA
is innovative. All is new; style, design, cabinet features and materials. But
nothing is fortuitous; the special side shape allow to place the reflex ports
in an unusual position, neither in the front nor in the back, avoiding undesired
emissions and ensuring an easy settlement of the loudspeakers, even near the back
wall. This is the simple and effective solution gets out from the genious mind
of a great designer, able to create a harmonious fusion between innovation, effectiveness
and style. There is somethig else too. A layer of damping material interposed
between the double sides of the cabinet reduces dramatically unwilling emissions.
The woofer is a new component realized in co-operation with VIFA: it features
a moulded basket from a special polymer that has excellent mechanical specifications
(stiffness and damping). A new method called NRSC (Non Resonant Suspension
Coupling) links together the coated paper diaphragm and the high quality rubber
suspension. The features of this modern component includes: 25mm cooled voice
coil, magnetic unit of adeguate dimensions, vented alluminium support and turned
from solid aluminium phase plug. The special shape of the plug, the only one of
this kind, is the result of a long research and development work, pursuing midrange
performance and excellent focusing of the sound image. The smooth fabric dome
tweeter is a new developped unit produced by SEAS following our specifications.
A very advanced diaphragm construction with pre-coated cloth ensures high quality,
constant parameters and competitive cost. The component is qualified by: decompression
chamber, air gap with ferrofluid and voice coil with alluminium vented former
in order to obtain a better dissipation too.
Thanks the high quality of the drivers it is possible to use a first order crossover
(6 dB/ott), wich is the most appreciated solution in audiophile applications.
The circuit typologies and the implementation techniques follow the preciouse
experiences developped during years of realizations well known for the wonderfull
sound. The quality of the passive components is one of the best in this field.
The polypropylene condenser AUDIOCAP is produced following our requests
and it is important to underline its excellent characteristics in audio applications;
the cable comes from the MONSTER CABLE production. The 4 imput terminals
are suitable for all connections, the complete separation of the mass allows both
the bi-wiring (highly recommended) and the eventual bi-amping.

"Dynamics -- Moda is always explosive and wall-shaking.
3D imaging-- capability to disappear in front of you leaving just the Music
behind them.
The mid range is hence open and crystal clear, very analytic and with remarkable level of detail. ....you can hear the whole or each single voice of choir, you can hear each singer grasping for breath or opening the lips to sing."
