Design Ideologies
Many have said the Velocity glass cone range of speakers sound head and shoulders above all equivalent competition. This search for the best acoustic result started by overcoming the intrinsic limits of traditional loudspeakers. The glass cone speakers are designed not only via the employment of vast engineering experience and meticulous attention to detail but also using high-tech simulation software. This allowed Blaupunkt’s engineering team to develop what many are already calling some of the best transducers within this price bracket. The glass cone speakers transcend all boundaries, reproducing every minute detail and nuance from your high-end amplifier.
Design Features
When auditioning the delightful glass cone speakers you can tell immediately they’re a unique and groundbreaking design. Their clarity and cleanliness is superb, their accuracy overall if astounding. Without further ado let’s have a look at what goes into them shall we?
Crystal Clear Highs
The tweeter design is superb. The materials, tolerances and assembly process were designed from scratch, aiming to design a tweeter without compromise and able to overcome all obstacles. Extensive research has been dedicated to the profile geometry of the natural silk dome to obtain an extremely linear phase and frequency response up to certified high-resolution frequencies. This coupled with a very cleverly designed rear labyrinth chamber ensures zero back-wave fluctuation issues.
Delectable Middle And Lows
Turning our attention to the larger sibling within the glass cone stable, the woofers feature some astounding design technology; powerhouses that are able to produce a delectable middle and low frequency tonality that must be heard to be believed.
Remember we mentioned the dogma of the glass cone series was to overcome all limits dictated by compromise-oriented design choices. This philosophy permitted Blaupunkt engineers to obtain extreme performance through the employment of exotic glass materials. The overall design affording the drivers the the ability to capture every detail of the musical message with maximum transparency. Sure this was an ambitious goal for the larger drivers, however its a goal achieved as they can producing a wide frequency response as smooth as possible in all listening positions on or off axis. They’re designed to distribute acoustic energy over a wide azimuth without any distortion in the frequency response and due to their glass diaphragm they handle this task with aplomb.
Beautiful Glass
The drivers employ cones made from glass, due to it’s excellent acoustic and mechanical features. More specifically, its low density and its high mechanical damping contribute to produce an exceptionally smooth frequency response in all possible listening positions. Being transparent, it leaves the precious motor structure beneath in full view.
