Micro-Precision – When Sonic Passion Becomes Obsession
Thomas Hoffmann. Mr Hoff, T Hoff, Herr Hoff, The Hoff; respectfully call this gentleman what you will. But when it comes to true audiophile and audio engineering circles you can rest assured every single person knows exactly who he is. For the very name Thomas Hoffmann is synonymous with extreme high-quality audio. For decades now this musical genius has dedicated his life to developing some of the world’s best loudspeakers, and I’m not just talking hyperbolically. Indeed Mr Hoffmann’s incredible designs continue to set new benchmark standards for sonic reproduction, with their aural performance bordering on disbelief. Add to this the fact Thomas works consistently with a small engineering team developing some of the world’s most advanced materialistic machining methods too, and it all makes sense when you see the company’s mantra that states the pursuit of sheer aural excellence.

When asked about the philosophy of his company Micro-Precision; Mr Hoffmann shrugged and replied In my life I've seen and heard a lot of different 'philosophies'. Most of them appear only on a piece of paper or on a computer screen. For me there is only one philosophy; to find the soul of the music. There is so much more information than first appearances belie. Don't give up, but go on searching for all the details and color in the music. Believe me, there is 'no' end; but closing in on that end is our assignment. To this day this absolute maestro of his art and his staff continue to strive towards attaining such a level of realism and transparency, that you're left listing only to the soul of your music, not left listing to components.

5-Series - Where Smooth Linearity Meets Articulate Control
When developing the 5-Series the Micro-Precision engineers had one goal; to provide quality equipment for the consummate music enthusiast, who desires not only superb control but also volume aplenty! The 5-Series offers the ultimate balance between precise aural reproduction and forceful kinetic output. Micro-Precision has combined superb quality materials such as glass composites with advanced no holds barred design architecture to provide audiophile level parameters in conjunction with serious sound pressure output levels. The 5-Series components are the ultimate speakers for those who want the absolute best of both worlds!

Design Ideologies
With its legendary gun-metal glass fibre membranes and powder coated alloy baskets, the 5-Series components offer a most natural yet powerful sound reproduction. Because of their lightweight motor structure and diaphragm they’re highly sensitive and easy to drive, thus allowing an amplifier to deliver through them an enveloping and dynamic sound that is completely controlled and extremely accurate.

Design Features
The rich heritage of this astute company and its commanding officer Thomas Hoffmann, together with its ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies and latest technological advancements.

The Glass Fibre Membrane
The glass fibre cone inherits much of Micro-Precision’s unique know-how. Composed of an ultralight fibre woven with a hardened chemical coating, it combines three critical factors when it comes to acoustics; rigidity, lightness and damping. This equates to a sound that is as precise and dynamic as can be.

Bedrock Solid Foundation
The basket of the 5-Series midrange is made from cast high-grade magnesium alloy which is thence powder coated grey. Said material has been chosen for its properties such as extreme strength, light weight and most importantly; magnetic inertness.

Fluid Surround
The speaker drivers benefit from an extremely fluid surround. It it not only free-floating but actually presents a profile that’s specially designed to control and combat the effect of resonance and reduce the distortion associated with cone deformation. This is conducive to every 5-Series cone outputting sound that’s perfectly defined and ultra realistic.

Superb Linearity, Control And Precision
The textile spiders on the 5-Series drivers are built around a progressive section to reproduce all the impact of the bass and increase the linearity, precision and dynamics of the sound.

Superior Cooling
The cooling system for the within the drivers expel hot air from the coil towards the bottom of the motor through a generous pole vent. This improves control over the coil temperature, limiting the effects of heat compression and improving reliability. This improves the dynamics of the speaker driver and generates a powerful sound.

Meticulous Tweeter Design
The coated silk dome tweeter is extremely light with a dome profile designed to produce a wide azimuth, extending it’s output frequency response to 22 kHz with an even greater reduction of distortion. This provides for smooth and precise diffusion in the high treble. Coupled with a special motor housed within a CNC machined aluminium housing, it achieves very low resonance frequencies for perfect harmonic balance.

What’s In A Version
Whilst Micro-Precision’s fundamental naming conventions remain constant, it’s astute team of engineers are constantly affecting little improvements here and there; perfecting the Micro-Precision stable as technology and materials advance.
