SPECTRALから、「 DMA-500 」４０周年記念モノラルパワーアンプ登場！！

海外ニュース速報 [World] 新製品速報

Spectral Audio, established in 1977, is celebrating 40 years of activity this year with the introduction of something very special; the all new Spectral Dma 500 Anniversary Mono Reference Amplifier.
40 years of operation is a major achievement considering that Spectral production has maintained a steady commercial success over the years and that the brand enjoys decades of utmost esteem and appreciation by every enthusiast. It can be said that today, as before, Spectral represents, for countless audiophiles, the ultimate point of arrival and the crowning of the dream of a lifetime.

This important anniversary is celebrated with the simultaneous release of a new mono reference ending called DMA500 Reference Anniversary created by Keith Johnsons and new top of the range.

The new mono finale is produced on the basis of 36 years of development developed by Spectral for the most ambitious design. The DMA-500 RA reflects years of research-based investment for the creation of next-generation amplifiers and to celebrate our first 40 years in the field of engineering and research for the production of high-speed audio.

In 2011 Spectral introduced the DMA-400 standard reference mono amplifier , the first of our Master components. Since then, the DMA-400 has become one of Spectral’s most famous products, gaining a worldwide reputation in the field of high-performance amplification of the most sophisticated music systems. When the DMA400 project was completed for production, manufacturers continued their search for an even more ambitious project with “ultimate” performance for the 40-year anniversary target.

The T40 amplification is designed to incorporate the most advanced technologies yet unavailable for the DMA-400, which includes our advanced SV semiconductor technology developed for RS preamplifiers. Over the last 5 years, Spectral engineers have created the SV SHHA amplifier driver that uses a patented personal circuitry and followed the T40 amplification program through which the DMA-500 mono Anniversary Reference power amplifier was produced.

Fundamental innovation of the DMA-500 AR power amplifier is the implementation of advanced SV technology for high-speed circuits. SV technology is based on dedicated semiconductor devices designed to critically evaluate the locations circuits of our high-speed RF amplifiers. Specialized circuits radically reduce transient distortions and eliminate the “thermal-tail” memory effects.

On the DMA-500, a new driver topology with semiconductor SV technology is successfully used. The new DMA-500 G2 SHHA drivers reach the double slew rate and risetime value measured on the original SHHA amplifier drivers installed on the DMA-400. The result is an even faster signal response with the lowest distortion rate so far recorded in the field of power audio amplification.

The DMA-500 Anniversary Reference incorporates for the first time the new SV amplification technology. This brings the listener to a music experience completely immersed in exquisite clarity with unmatched realism and accuracy. We believe the DMA-500 delivers uncompromising listening experience as customers expect, and brilliantly reflects the high-level ambitions of Spectral Audio.

NAGRA、「 HDPREAMP 」を東京インターナショナルオーディオショウにてワールドプレミア！！

海外ニュース速報 [World] 新製品速報

More information will be available at the debut of the NAGRA HDPREAMP at the Tokyo Show, Vietnam Show and RMAF 2017.

Almost 20 years after the release of the mythical preamplifier Nagra PL-P in 1998, Nagra will introduce at the RMAF 2017 one of the most ambitious projects of its history, the HD PREAMP.

The Nagra R&D Department, served by ten skilled and specialized audio engineers, worked on this project for the past three years with the goal of creating the most revealing and engaging preamplifier in the world. The Audio engineers spared no expense or limitation developing electronics, mechanics, power supply and addressing thermal and vibration issues. Each stage of the design also included extensive listening sessions. The result is a striking product in terms of appearance, specification and performance. It will just reshape the expectation you may have of what a preamplifier will add to your whole set-up, sources and amplifiers…

Suggested retail price $59,500 US / 54´900 Euro (including VAT)

The volume control is a patent pending technology that allows perfect level matching with a much more transparent sound compared to pots and switch resistor technology, because there is no attenuation of the input signal, just an automatic selection of a tap on the Nagra custom output transformer.

The newly developed SuperCapacitor power supply is a new technology which combines the very low noise of a battery with the high current capability of the best linear power supplies.

The audio engineers created a super vibration free stand to lower the microphonic resonances to a new level.

The HDPREAMP has the best specifications ever achieved by any tube preamplifier, 160 dB of signal to noise and 0 Hz to 200kHz frequency response with perfect phase integrity.

The HDPREAMP is able to reproduce a square wave at 16 Hz.

And the Sound !

The HDPREAMP reproduces music with natural impressions, with full spectrum bandwidth and extreme stability.

It also produces a precise 3D holographic soundstage. It is very difficult to express the impact of this design as we didn’t think it was possible to achieve such an unbelievable result.

Pure emotion..

B&Wから、新「 700s2 」シリーズ登場！！

海外ニュース速報 [World] 新製品速報

The new 700 S2 Series from Bowers & Wilkins replaces the CM S2 series, which for many years has been incredibly popular with music and home theater enthusiasts worldwide. This time, however, it’s not just an update – this is a whole new series!

B & W has focused on giving you as many of the qualities of the legendary 800 Series Diamond as possible at a price that is still soluble for common mortals. The 700 Series therefore puts a new standard in the middle class that the competitors will have more than difficult to measure.

Whether you need a compact cookie model or a heavy, full home theater, you can be sure that you get a solid, exclusive 700-series experience. The design is simple, stylish and exclusive, and you can choose from real wood veneer, black high gloss or matt white lacquer.

Carbon Dome – a treble without noise

The 700-series Nautilus-loaded treble introduces a whole new treble technique from Bowers & Wilkins: Carbon Dome. The diaphragm has double reinforcement with carbon and carbon fiber, and the result is a fabulous detail and airiness in the highest tones of music, far beyond the audible limit. The large 702 S2 floor model and the nice 705 S2 tripod model have the treble mounted in a separate aluminum housing at the top of the cabinet, again a principle taken from the 800 series.

Continuum FST and Aerofoil – unique solutions for unique sound quality

All three-way models in the 700 series are just like the 800 Series, featuring B & W’s unique ” borderless ” Continuum FST Midrange. The membrane is woven in B & W’s own ” Continuum ” material, providing an extremely smooth and neutral reproduction of voices and instruments.

The 700-series cleaned baseboards are crafted with a simplified edition of the ultra-light and ultra-thin Aerofoil membrane developed in the 800 Series. These light and rigid membranes function almost like a perfect ” piston ” , delivering superior and impressive precision and dynamics at both low and high sound pressure
