Remiga 2 is the first model on the market of the new Alare Remiga series. It is a floor standing loudspeaker system no compromise designed.
Bass loading is a carefully shaped transmission line, driven by two custom made woofers, a 10” (250 mm) and an 8” (200 mm) carbon sandwich units. Remiga 2 uses a twin drivers tapered transmission line for an extremely fast, uncolored and distortion free bass.
Midrange is a 7” (170 mm) unit from German Accuton Cell line, with pure ceramic membrane mounted in a volume filled with special aramid fiber wool for nearly perfect sound control.
The 1.2” (30 mm) diamond tweeter is a real technical masterpiece. A thin diamond concave dome is used in order to reach the benefits from the sonic character of this material, speed, detail and extremely wide frequency response.
Remiga 2 cabinet is made from a sandwich of different woods and special damping glue layers, that together perform a very efficient “constrained layer” damping effect. This feature and an internal steel bars cage, virtually kill any vibration of the cabinet.
Special attention has been given also to crossover board design. The best quality components are firmly mounted on a not conductive special board and connected each other with point-to-point technique, by using a silver plated solid core copper wire.

70 years ago Stefan Kudelski created the first portable analog tape recorder, the NAGRA I. In 1972, he filed a patent for an innovative tonearm.
For the 70th anniversary of the Nagra I, we are launching a very ambitious analog playback project. The new NAGRA HD TURNTABLE is designed and precision-built in Switzerland with no compromises. Packed with innovation for smoother movement and isolation that puts you right in the studio with the musicians in a way never experienced before, it is built like a Swiss watch to the most exacting standards. Not only pleasing to the ears, it is also a beautiful object and a testimony to Nagra’s mechanical expertise and dedication to pure sound.
Analog dream !
NAGRA HD TURNTABLE Aerospace Exium / acrylic platter for a very low resonance and high density providing maximum inertia Dual motor belt-drive inspired by the legendary Nagra IV-S for low flutter Suspended chassis with a self-resonance below 3 Hz, way below the cartridge bandwidth Supercapacitor power supply for very low noise and speed stability Automatic speed correction for 33 1/3 rpm long play and 45 rpm Pitch control for correcting LP playback speed Chassis and sub-chassis with layered construction for low resonance and high rigidity, like the HD PREAMP and HD DAC X, to prevent any sound coloration from the mechanical parts Dual geometry adjustment for perfect balance Oversized steel and bronze precision main bearing
The Nagra HD TURNTABLE will be released this fall.
