This is Confidence
Designed and engineered in Denmark
We put Confidence through intensive –and exhaustive –testing in the Jupiter measuring facility at Dynaudio Labs. Hundreds of hours of analysis and listening have resulted in the best speaker we’ve ever created.

Brand-new Esotar3 tweeter
The legend continues. The all-new Esotar3 is optimised for detail, finesse and performance. It includes the ingenious Hexis resonance-defeating inner dome, plus innovations in materials, airflow and more.

Next-gen DDC technology
Dynaudio Directivity Control, our sound-shaping technology platform, has been rebooted, revamped and refined to include the DDC Lens –a unique machined waveguide that focuses your music exactly where it should go: your ears.

NeoTec woofers
We’ve taken our legendary MSP woofers to new heights. A combination of powerful neodymium magnets and aluminium and copper voice-coils mean each driver is individually engineered and tuned for one purpose: unsurpassed quality.

Dan D’Agostino から、「 Momentum HD Preamplifier 」登場！！

海外ニュース速報 [World]

Dan D’Agostino Master Audio Systems announces the New Momentum HD Preamplifier

CAVE CREEK, ARIZONA, MARCH 14, 2019— Dan D’Agostino Master Audio Systems today announced the Momentum HD Preamplifier, a major upgrade to the Momentum Preamplifier. The Momentum HD Preamplifier builds on the award-winning platform of the Momentum Preamplifier. The new HD status represents the high dynamic and high definition improvements that have been achieved in this substantial upgrade. The new Momentum HD Preamplifier incorporates advancements in the power supply, audio circuitry, and control sections.

Housed in a separate chassis for maximum isolation, the Momentum HD main power transformer is 33% larger as compared to the original Momentum Preamplifier. A unique winding technology, first employed in the Momentum M400 amplifier, delivers greater power output from the same footprint. Internal circuitry filters RF noise from the AC powerline, and compensates for asymmetric power waveforms and DC on the mains.

A completely new discrete differential FET input stage features two current sources per leg and an input impedance greater than 1MOhm. This ultra-high input impedance isolates the input stage and thus the entire audio signal path from external variables.
“This new input stage was an engineering experiment that surprised us with the level of fine-grain detail and delicate musical shadings. The subtleties of voices were rendered with a lushness and richness that were simply unattainable previously”. said Chief Designer Dan D’Agostino.

Taking advantage of the increased power supply capability, the output stages are now operating at a 36% percent higher voltage. “The increased output voltage has opened up the dynamics on both the micro and macro levels.” D’Agostino continued. “The speed of the dynamic contrasts jump out on a visceral level.”

Also new is the Bluetooth technology featured in the included remote control. The Bluetooth backbone extends the range of the remote by a factor of five and eliminates line of sight limitations that are inherent in IR remote controls.

Newly designed tone and volume control circuitry increases range and precision in both circuits.

Aesthetics have also been updated with the signature copper elements being reshaped to better match the Momentum M400 and S250 amplifiers.

Existing Momentum Preamplifier owners will be able to upgrade to the new Momentum HD Preamplifier electronics enhancements preserving value in their initial purchases.

The Momentum HD Preamplifier will begin shipping in March,2019 at $40,000 USD and upgrades for original Momentum Preamplifier owners will be $7,500 USD. Standard finishes include silver or black.

GOLDMUNDから、「 PRANA ACTIVE SPEAKER 」登場！！

海外ニュース速報 [World] 新製品速報

GOLDMUND PRESENTS THE NEW PRANA ACTIVE SPEAKER

 

In Hindu philosophy, the Sanskrit word for « life force » – Prana – is the universal sea of energy that infuses and vitalizes all matter. Prana is the breath. Without it the body can’t live. Prana – the name of the freshly launched flagship wireless loudspeaker – pays tribute  to our engineers who worked hard to design this exceptional piece and bring to life the musical message with a level of definition and neutrality never found before in a speaker system.
Prana speakers are fully constructed in the highest quality aluminium. Their sleek and contemporary look match with any colour. The smallest of its family in the sequence of Satya and Samadhi, Prana is suitable for any kind of decor and interior.
Amplifiers and filters are integrated within the speaker. It uses a combination of multiple drivers, each catering to a different frequency band. Prana drivers satisfy the customer’s high fidelity expectations in the reproduction of the musical message. They cover with utter precision the entire audio spectrum of musical instruments as well as voices, from the most elevated soprano to the gravest bass.
A product of the Goldmund Proteus Mathematical model, the Prana is a smart active speaker whose DSP’s include the Leonardo 2 technology (the latest version of our time alignment correction algorithm), digital crossovers, gains, and delays.
For perfect convenience, the Prana can be used wired or completely wireless aside the power supply. The speakers are a full system by themselves and, should one choose so, one could use them alone with a computer music library as a wireless source. For more ambitious systems with multiple sound sources such as your TV and disc player, the Prana can be coupled with the Goldmund Talisman Wireless hub or with any of Goldmund processors.
Prana has been designed to provide a sound that is the closest to reality. No colouration, no noise, no distortion, the Prana reproduces entirely and exactly what has been recorded. It comes with the implementation of the Goldmund mechanical grounding technology that evacuates spurious vibrations that affect the signal quality. And if Goldmund is absolutely obsessed by sound quality, stubborn about providing its customers with the best existing reproduction, this is simply because only the highest level of realism can bring the highest level of pleasure and emotion.
