THE FIRST Power amplifier

Equipped with a power of 330W at 8 Ohms, 660W at 4 Ohms, and 1320W at 2 Ohms, our High-Current Power Amplifier offers the possibility to effortlessly drive the most challenging acoustic speaker while offering the same elegance and refinement of Sound with highly sensitive loudspeaker systems (High Efficiency).

 How? We have managed to create an Amplifier capable of handling infinitesimal signals although hardly measurable (Sound Carpet) and at the same time signals of dynamic amplitude and speed “beyond” the audio band, making the system as conservative as possible in relation to the treatment of harmonics as well as their duration. The result? Timbral coherence, maintenance of harmonics with absolute rigor both through a complex acoustic speaker system and easy handling.

We are proud to announce the introduciton of the upgrade option for the 701 mono and 711 stereo amplifier.

Following our credo: do not add anything, do not omit anything, we challenged ourselves by asking the question: “Can we add less and omit less compared to what we have already achieved”? Before we decided to implement an all new and innovative amplification topology for our new 717 power amplifier our engineers evaluated how far they can push the performance of the 701 and 711s amplifier structure. Some of the results from this analysis now find their way into a new upgrade option in the 701+ and the 711+.

The new, ultra linear feedback network along with the improved thermal design of the gain stages have boosted the voltage amplification module to both improve the phase response of the amplifier as well as its overload stability. The upgrades to 701+ and 711+ preserve all the sonic virtues of the 701 and 711 like their effortless separation of instruments even in the most complex passages, its bass dynamics and ravishing tonal colour, but it will add more refinement and delicacy to the musical representation bringing you even closer to the artist’s true performance.

All existing 701s and 711s can be upgraded to the 701+ or 711+. Due to their modular design the 701 and 711 amplifiers are upgradable to the + version by replacing the two output amplifier modules with + upgraded modules. Please contact your dealer to check if the upgrade can be done at a local service-center or if the unit needs to be returned to the factory.

Upgrade price: CHF 15’000 (incl. VAT 8.1%) per amplifier
Available from Q4/2024

701 モノラルおよび 711 ステレオ アンプのアップグレード オプションの導入を発表できることを誇りに思います。

当社の信条である「何も追加せず、何も省略しない」に従い、私たちは「これまで達成してきたものよりも追加や省略を少なくできるか」という問いかけに挑戦しました。新しい 717 パワー アンプにまったく新しい革新的な増幅トポロジーを実装することを決定する前に、当社のエンジニアは 701 および 711s アンプ構造のパフォーマンスをどこまで向上できるかを評価しました。この分析の結果の一部は、現在、701+ および 711+ の新しいアップグレード オプションに反映されています。

新しい超線形フィードバック ネットワークとゲイン ステージの改良された熱設計により、電圧増幅モジュールが強化され、アンプの位相応答と過負荷安定性の両方が向上しました。 701+ および 711+ へのアップグレードでは、最も複雑なパッセージでも楽器を楽々と分離できること、低音のダイナミクス、魅惑的な音色など、701 および 711 の音響的長所をすべて維持しながら、音楽表現にさらなる洗練と繊細さを加え、アーティストの真のパフォーマンスにさらに近づくことができます。

Precision Engineering and Elegant Design for Unmatched Musical Performance

Børresen is proud to announce the official launch of the Børresen C1, a stand-mounted loudspeaker that blends cutting-edge technology with exquisite design. Engineered to deliver extraordinary musical detail, clarity, and depth, the C1 offers exceptional performance within high-end loudspeakers. With its innovative materials and precision-crafted components, the C1 delivers a remarkable and immersive listening experience.

Bass/Midrange Drivers: Børresen DCC5 NEO

At the core of the C1’s performance is the Børresen 5-inch CC Neo bass/midrange driver, meticulously crafted to deliver superior clarity and dynamics.

The Membrane

The Børresen X1 continues the legacy of the X Series and features the same remarkable technologies that characterize all the X series speakers, embodying the brand’s philosophy of precision engineering and audio innovation. At the heart of the Børresen X1 is a blend of cutting-edge technologies, adopted from the highly acclaimed M, O and Z loudspeaker series, and carefully integrated into the new X1 speakers to deliver an authentic and absolute natural musical experience. The speaker’s compact size belies its exceptional performance, as it houses the exclusive Børresen X-Series ribbon tweeter and a 4.5-inch Børresen X-Series speaker driver for a rich, detailed, and dynamic soundstage.

The Magnetic Motor System

The C1 features a sophisticated magnetic motor system with double copper caps on the pole rings. This design, adapted from higher-end Børresen drivers, minimizes electromagnetic resonance and lowers inductance, easing the load on the amplifier.

The Børresen Ribbon Tweeter: Speed and Precision

The C1 is equipped with Børresen’s renowned RP94 ribbon tweeter, a signature feature of the Børresen brand. With a remarkable efficiency of 94 dB and an ultra-light moving mass of just 0.01 grams, this closed ribbon tweeter is capable of incredible speed and responsiveness. Operating from 2.5 kHz and above, it captures the finest sonic details with precision and is robust enough to handle high transient peaks without distortion. This level of detail and clarity allows listeners to experience music with a level of subtlety and refinement rarely achieved.

Crossover

The new Børresen C1 loudspeakers is based on serial crossover networks, which provide the same phase-locked electric current flow to transducers in the filtering region. Although this crossover topology is significantly more difficult to implement, by diverting the out-of-band currents it creates a much more coherent filtering system.

Structural Robustness: Designed for Acoustic Excellence

The Børresen C1 speaker enclosures are constructed from internally reinforced wood composite material, designed to minimize sound distortion, standing waves, and external resonances. This material, combined with 1mm-thick carbon fiber panels applied to the sides, significantly increases the rigidity of the enclosure. Glossy white/black side stripes laid on top of the thick carbon layers allow this material to work at its very best, and greatly contribute to the speaker’s unique aesthetic.

C1 Loudspeaker Stand: Perfect Synergy between Speaker and Stand

The C1 loudspeaker stands are designed to support the Børresen C1 speakers in the best possible way by placing the speakers in the correct height and angle. The stands are made of the same robust wood composite material as the cabinets, creating the perfect synergy between speakers and stands. As the stands are without iron components any magnetically interference into the loudspeakers crossovers is avoided. The stands are equipped with Ansuz Darkz S2t Resonance Control devices, further reducing vibrations and improving sound quality. The stands can also be upgraded with additional Darkz for even greater resonance control and performance enhancement.
