Loudspeakers

Konzert

The Konzert III is the Audioplan Flagship speaker. It is a 2 1/2-way loudspeaker that combines the volume reserves and deep bass of a multiple driver system with the musicality and presence of a very good 2-way system. Numerous innovations such as RNS (Resonance Nulling System), the concept of the infinite virtual baffle or the complexly decoupled tweeter, serve one goal only: long-term listening pleasure with the highest level of audio perfection. This is a floor-standing loudspeaker with asymmetrically reinforced sandwich enclosure for optimum suppression of box resonance. Moulded, partially from the fully milled baffle for phase compensation and the best radiation characteristics.

The Tweeter and corresponding crossover are mechanically decoupled from the main enclosure. A star-shaped perforated fleece prevents early reflections from the baffle. The tweeter enclosure is held in the back by a 10 mm thick aluminium star. The RNS system positions two identical drivers opposite one another so that only pressure fluctuations are conducted into the enclosure. The back driver with its pressure wave also presents a virtual infinite baffle to the front driver, which is thereby given optimal operating conditions.

Kontrast

The Kontrast is a 2-way bass reflex system with a separate, mechanically decoupled enclosure for woofer-midrange and tweeter. Separate crossovers for the two drivers, cast to prevent microphonics. The high frequency crossover is placed in the tweeter enclosure and therefore optimally isolated from vibrations from the woofer. All components are of the highest quality and some have been especially produced for the Kontrast V. The enclosure is insulated with form-stamped wool felt plates that form an acoustic labyrinth. This provides optimal damping of the midrange with the least amount of damping material and practically undamped transfer of the bass energy to the reflex aperture.

Kantata 

The Kantatas is a two toned compact speaker for easy integration into the living room or free-standing placement. The Kantatas sit on an acoustically tuned aluminium pedestal stands, which is colour matched to the speaker (see colour options). The 2-way bass reflex system with long-throw, bass-midrange chassis. This provides large reserves at low frequencies. Construction comprises a driver with a membrane of woven and bonded synthetic fibers with an optimal ratio of mass, stiffness and damping.

Tweeter with low resonance, coated fabric dome with optimized suspension for minimal loss. A reinforced enclosure of 19 mm HDF with newly developed WRC system for controlling and diverting vibration energy of the bass-midrange system. WRC thus provides a clearer, more dynamic sound with enhanced fine resolution. Crossover with minimal losses, matched to components of the highest quality such as film-foil capacitors and coils with copper cross-sections up to 3 mm2. The labyrinth-like damping of the enclosure with press-formed panels of wool felt ensures undamped transfer of bass energy to reflex port for optimal damping of the midrange. The speaker is coupled to the pedestal stand and floor with Audioplan AntiSpikes.

Technical Details for the Kantata
The Kantata is a two-tone enclosure enamel/enamel or veneer/enamel finish, serially equipped with Audioplan AntiSpikes. Single-wiring terminal for cable lugs or banana plugs. Optionally available matching pedestals, painted in the color of the rear part of the enclosure. A driver cover is available in black. Planned color combinations (still indefinite at the time of printing): Front part: High-gloss white or black, precious wood light, honey, bordeaux or chocolate; Rear part: Enamel silver, enamel Nextel gray, enamel sand; Pedestals: Enamel silver, enamel Nextel gray, enamel sand.

PowerStar S

The PowerStar is a highly advanced, unique and patented mains power distribution unit with 7 high grade UK mains outlets. The design of the PowerStar minimizes the differences emanating from the plug position of components called equalizing currents, which flow through the audio frequency lines to compensate for dynamic potential differences from the power mains. The PowerStar removes these differences and establishes a direct reference to the main component in the system, the preamp or the power amp.

This represents a decisive advantage in comparison to all conventional power distribution units. The conductor star of the PowerStar S 2 is therefore soldered with pure silver and then silver-plated which reduces the number of connection points to three per outlet: power plug to cable, cable to conductor star and conductor star to outlet - giving your audio system a noticeable difference in transparency, delicacy, resolution and transient response.   The PowerStar s is additionally fitted with Antispike component feet to provide maximum protection for acoustic vibration and give regulated damping to this unique product.

FineFilter S

The FineFilter is a primary filter and is a highly resistant, universally applicable collective filter for audio and video systems with such low impendence, that even the largest power amps can be accommodated without any loss of dynamics. This is achieved utilising the highest quality components, manual wiring, and customising some of the components. The built-in safety reserve is to very high audiophile standards. The components of the FineFilter S can therefore withstand continuous current of 25 amps. This ensures that even the most extreme current peaks can flow without being limited by the filter. It also ensures the filter itself does not generate any interference due to saturation or overload effects (giving long-term stability). The filter is used to filter out audio interference, which would otherwise reach the system through the power mains and as such, it represents a vital component in the Audioplan CleanPower system.

Power Plant 100S

The PowerPlant 100S is a secondary filter (to be used after FineFilter S) to decouple components from the mains and to prevent them from emitting RF interference into the power line as well as to protect them from power interference. The unique design incorporates multiple nested windings, numerous layers of shielding and a specially made and tuned filter components to provide filtration and high levels of ‘reverse damping’.
The PowerPlant S is extremely effective with a wide range of AV components, including digital products such as CD Players, DACs, DVDs. It can also be utilised very effectively with Phono preamplifiers and Tuners.

PowerCord S

PowerCord S

The PowerCord is the reference mains-cable with silver plated conductors in symmetric construction with four leads instead of the usual three. The fourth lead is a second ground conductor placed opposite the first creating a quasi-symmetric arrangement. The PowerCord uses high-purity, heavy silver-plated copper litz wires with increased conductivity. The individual conductors are isolated with materials with low loss and accumulation properties. This unique design ensures low emission, high resistance to interference and the best possible dynamic characteristics for the conductor (and avoids the loss of dynamics due to eddy currents and dielectric effects so often found in inferior cables). Acoustic damping against microphony is provided inside the conductors of this cable through the use of Sicomin. This prevents acoustical vibrations becoming electrical noise due to induction effects.

PowerCord Ultimate (U)

The PowerCord Ultimate represents the pinnacle of Audioplan's tecnology and brings 30 yeard of design and expertise to the fore.

The PowerCord Ultimate incorporates advanced nesting techniques which optimises high frequency filtering. The PowerCord Ultimate also uses Audioplan CDC and CRC technology, incorporating sound- optimized dielectrics, as well as a tuned, external damping braid for the cable

"The effect of PowerCord Ultimate is quite astounding. The Ultimate creates a full bodied and spatial presentation to the sound with an airy upper register and deep textured bass."
