Detailed Description

Advanced Technologies

The Concept 500 employs cutting-edge technologies to achieve a sensational soundstage. Helmholtz Pressure Equalizers (HPE™) balance internal pressure, while Point-to-Point™ (P2P) bracing minimizes vibrations, ensuring superior clarity. The three-layered cabinet, filled with a non-setting gel, further dampens vibrations by converting them into heat, resulting in enhanced sound purity.

High-Frequency Driver Isolation

The high-frequency driver is mechanically decoupled from the main cabinet. This isolation helps prevent vibrations from transferring between components, delivering cleaner and more accurate high frequencies.

High-Performance Drivers

The mid/bass drivers are equipped with a large 35mm voice coil, allowing for higher power handling and reduced compression. This design contributes to dynamic, responsive bass performance, ensuring an impressive overall audio experience.

Crossover

Great care has been taken in both the design of the crossover and the selection of high grade components, to introduce virtually zero noise and distortion. The 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley topology which gives an excellent response both on and off-axis.

Sophisticated Cabinet Design

The Concept 500 features Dual Gelcore™ technology within its cabinet design. The three separate layers, filled with non-setting gel, effectively dampen cabinet walls to minimize vibrations and coloration. This contributes to a more natural and precise sound experience.

Customizable Aesthetics

The Concept 500 is available in three finishes, each designed to fit seamlessly into any modern living space. The cabinets feature Italian real wood veneer paired with multiple layers of lacquer, creating a high-quality piano gloss finish. The clean baffle design, with embedded magnets for the grille, adds to the sleek aesthetic.

Optimized Connectivity

The Concept 500's rear access panel preserves the cabinet's integrity while offering versatile connectivity options. The terminals support bi-wiring or bi-amping and are compatible with bare wires, spades, or 4 mm banana plugs.
