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.

7-Series - Authentic Realism
Innovation, natural materials, meticulous design; these elements form the synthesis that describes the 7-Series dogma. The award winning 7-Series elements combine sound realism beyond reproach with excellent dynamics and zero colouration. The 7-Series ideology was to take the masterful crafting acumen of Micro-Precision to a wider audience, thus conducive to them taking advantage of the major innovations introduced while designing the flagship Z-Studio range. Elements like lightweight yet strong diaphragms, natural materials over artificial ones, careful motor structure layout, intelligent circuitry designs plus much more. Put simply the 7-Series are designed for those seeking to attain an ultra-realistic musical performance, whilst staying within the confines of realistic affordability.

Design Ideologies
With their legendary blue-power membranes and magnesium baskets, the superb 7-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 any amplifier to deliver through them an enveloping and dynamic sound that is completely controlled and accurate in the extreme.

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

The Blue-Power Membrane
The pulp based fibre cone inherits much of Micro-Precision’s unique know-how. Composed of an ultralight pulp core sandwiched between a thin layer of lightweight yet strong fibre, it combines three critical factors when it comes to acoustics; rigidity, lightness and damping. This equates to a sound that is as precise, dynamic and lifelike as can be.

Bedrock Solid Foundation
The basket of the 7-Series midranges are made from cast thence machined magnesium. 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 7-Series cone outputting sound that’s perfectly defined and ultra realistic.

Superb Linearity, Control And Precision
The pure textile spiders on the 7-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. The progression sees extra material added right where the twin parabolic weak points are in all circular shapes.

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.
