Design Ideologies
The Abbey Road range is the flagship series from world renown designer Audible Physics. Available in a whole swag of sizes and configurations to suit a myriad of applications; they’ve been developed thanks to a collaboration between experienced sound engineers from the world-renowned Abbey Road studio in London, along with former Bowers & Wilkins engineers. As part of this newly established cooperation; the Abbey Road drivers carry forward the DNA of the legendary Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus series components, thenceforth being proudly produced by the Audible Physics team. Upon being unleashed upon the world market they’ve received acclaim aplenty, and the Abbey Road drivers also did very well at the recent EMMA world sound competition finals; much to the chagrin of various designers of speakers vastly more expensive yet not as impressive.
Significant Gains And Advancements
The Abbey Road components represent significant advances in automotive audio and offers audiophiles the opportunity to enjoy the sound at the Abbey Road standard whilst on their daily commute. Thanks to the extensive experience of Audible Physics and the Abbey Road engineers these speakers bring the performance of a studio level to the car environment by creating an immersive, detailed and well-balanced listening experience unparalleled by anything in today’s market.
Precision Engineering
The Abbey Road components are constructed with meticulous attention to every detail, using first-class materials and innovative design techniques. The woofers are equipped with a patented matrix alloy dome diaphragm made of magnesium and aluminium alloy. This combination is employed for its rigidity and its ability to dampen excessive vibrations with exemplary aplomb. The tweeters use a 1″ / 25 mm dome that’s made from precision-engineered magnesium / aluminium alloy, allowing the diaphragm to provide pin-point accurate and detailed heights without sharp tones or break-up.
Limiting The Excesses
An exclusive bandwidth limiter technology prevents the phenomenon of diaphragm decay, thus ensuring a seamless integration of the tweeter and the minimisation of distortion. The end result is an enormous leap in sound purity. All Abbey Road components have been designed and constructed in the UK by a former team of Bowers & Wilkins engineers and complement each other perfectly.
Balanced Response
All speakers within the Abbey Road stable are carefully tuned to provide an ideal flat frequency response, ensuring a most natural and uncolored sound reproduction. This balanced response allows listeners to hear the music exactly as the recording artist and producer intended, without audio modifications or compromises.
Wide Frequency Range
Thanks to their wide range of frequency responses, these speakers excel in the lowest bass regions and the highest of treble tones. Whether you listen to orchestral music, modern pop or rock classics; the Abbey Road speakers can easily cope with any dynamics. At the same time, they’ll astound and amaze with their ability to reproduce a wide frequency band, thus being able to eliminate the disadvantages of dual-band systems.
Designed For Automobiles
Audible Physics’ Abbey Road speakers are designed specifically for use in vehicles, their development solving the classic acoustic problems presented by the automotive environment. The engineering team optimised the speakers to work as well as possible in the unique cabin space of the vehicle, thus allowing them to provide the cleanliness and impressiveness required for an immersive sound experience whilst on the move.
Design Features
The vast heritage of this astute and practical designer, together with its ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies and latest technological advancements. Some of these include the following:
– Magnetically inert, aerodynamically transparent alloy basket and housing for very low distortion.
– CNC crafted and machined components.
– Multi-part housing with special acoustic details to optimise overall linearity and frequency response.
– Woofers are optimised for extremely accurate low frequency behavior, as reflected via their low resonance frequency.
– Magnesium / aluminium alloy dome tweeters, specially coated by hand.
– High-energy neodymium magnet motor exerts an extremely dense flux over the coil.
– Advanced vented motor and magnet system to eradicate thermal issues.
– Audio viscous damping with special acoustic materials.
– Gold plated push terminals for large cables and corrosion resistance.
