With the ONE
the glamorous car's
designer enters Hi-Fi world. Its style is recognizable through the design, the
harmonious forms and lines, that immediately evocate the wonderful cars worldwide
admired.
We are extremely proud of ONE
manufacture;
it's a real jewel built with MDF panels from 35 to 60 mm thick, worked with high
precision CNC machines and assembled thanks to low tolerance joints. But it is
not only a shapely object because nothing of its aesthetic design is fortuitous;
rounded edges to reduce diffractions, tilted front baffle for improved phase coherence,
the area next to the tweeter opportunely shaped to improve dispersion and reduce
the baffle effect. The finishing process is extremely complex: starts with different
steps of insulators making the wood structure absolutly inhert in order to recive
the metalized colours. The metalized paints are obviously exclusive and very expensive;
they are applyed in a pressure cabin in several layers, finished with a brightly
transparent and dried for 72 hours. Only now, after the last polishing, the different
parts of the manufacture are ready for assembling. To guarantee a perfect sound,
the metallic grids are large-meshed, so they can not be pressed but are individually
modelled by an expert panel beater. Clearly the ONE
project
is very difficult to build and consequently they are produced in a short series;
exclusive objects only for connoisseurs.
SEAS and SCANSPEAK, two of the best european specialists, produce
the drive units following our strict specifications. The woofer features a new
generation diaphragm with an innovative polymer ; the unit shows an unusually
shaped phase plug coming from a long period of reserch and development. The device
optimizes midrange performances avoiding colours, focusing image and improving
heat dissipation from the pole piece. The plug is built by turning from fine solid
copper, a very expensive but functional material, mostly useful for dissipation
of the voice coil. The soft dome tweeter D2905 comes from SCANSPEAK,
with a new silk fabric diaphragm, hand made and manually coated in different steps
to achieve a perfect damping without increasing mass and thus preserving transient
dynamic reproduction. The high quality drive units allow the use of a (6dB/ott)
1st order crossover without compensation network, wich is the best for really
audiophile applications. Than the circuit typologies and the implementation techniques
don’t forget the precious experiences of the past, years of realization known for
their wonderful sound. You can find high quality in the passive components too;
SOLO CFAC inductors use a thin OFC copper ribbon; AUDIOCAP PPFF
film and foil capacitors and the special non inductive resistor are produced following
our strict directions and needs. The cables come from a high performance wire
for fast data networks. Input terminals admit all type of connections and the
complete mass separation allows both bi-wiring (highly recommended) and bi-amping.
