Special Features
- Reference:
In the development of our Quart Reference, we have spared no effort or expense in order to achieve an optimal sound experience achieve. First, all speaker drivers were perfected. The MBT380 woofer was given a special centring centring and a particularly stiff diaphragm. Even extreme low bass impulses are still transmitted cleanly, wobbling of the cone is diaphragm is practically ruled out. The MCD26 tweeter has been fitted with an elaborately designed magnet system that eliminates resonance in the transmission range. in the transmission range. The baskets for the woofers and the common mounting flange for the midrange and tweeter are all made by hand in a sand casting process. by hand using a sand-casting process that suppresses virtually all chassis resonance. The next step was to optimise the optimised. 38mm thick outer walls, internal stiffeners with a special sound guide as well as damping with mineral fibre panels guarantee the resonance-free design of the cabinet. The last step was the development of the active electronics unit. unit. Separate power supplies for bass and MT/HT amplifiers ensure high crosstalk attenuation, the bipolar bass amplifier with its high damping factor (200) always keeps the heavy bass diaphragm precisely under control, MT/HT amplifiers in MOS-technology show excellent high frequency behaviour.
