Micro-Precision – When Sonic Passion Becomes Obsession
Thomas Hoffmann, Mr Hoff, T Hoff, Herr Hoff, The Hoff; call him what you will. When it comes to true audiophile circles everyone will know the name, for Thomas Hoffmann is synonymous with extreme quality audio. For decades this musical genius has dedicated his life to developing some of the worlds best loudspeakers, not only smashing performance barriers with a sonic reproduction quite literally beyond belief, but also developing some of the worlds most impressive materialistic machining methods in 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.

Z-Studio Series – Accuracy And Realism Beyond Astonishing
When it comes to extreme audiophiles you'll nary find one wanting a hammering from their sound. On the contrary there’s an echelon of discerning individuals who desire absolute sound quality in the truest sense of the word. Articulated deep and controlled bass, delectably accurate midrange, and supremely clear highs. Barriers only exist to be shattered, and budget is of little concern. This is the territory of Micro-Precision's Z-Studio range. Developed with every detail absolutely scrutinised in every way; this could be teetering as close to aural perfection as achievable.

Design Ideologies
Micro Precision’s sublime Z-Studio tweeter is a high-end high-frequency speaker with a silk dome, suitable for automotive aftermarket applications.

Culmination Of Excellence
Micro-Precision’s Z-Studio series’ components represent the culmination of four years of research and development. It’s a true testament to the brand’s dedication to audio excellence. This tweeter is part of the Z-Studio range, which offers five exclusive products designed to meet the absolute standards of discerning listeners. The underlying philosophy of all Z-Studio products is the necessity of a stiff and lightweight membrane for accurate sound reproduction.

Zero Tolerance Precision
True to its name, the Z-Studio tweeter is precision engineered within extreme tolerances and fully CNC manufactured. These tweeters stand out for their very high efficiency and strong magnetic field, ensuring exceptional dynamic range and resolution. They also comes with mounting accessories for easy installation.

Featherweight Moving Mass
One key feature of the Z-Studio tweeter is its incredibly light moving mass, less than 0.3 grams. This ultra-low mass allows it to reproduce every nuance of sound with full dynamics and without distortion. The membrane’s extreme stiffness is a result of a unique resin foam between 6µm aluminium foils technology, a patented German innovation dating back to 1935 and now in its second generation of production. Handmade with meticulous care, the production of these membranes averages just one piece per day.

Magnificent Membranes
The membrane comprises over 80% air within the resin foam, striking the perfect balance between low weight and maximum stiffness coupled with optimal acoustical properties. This achievement is further enhanced by the membrane’s basis in natural materials, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.

Chassis Excellence
The excellence of the Z-Studio tweeter is further exemplified by its chassis, crafted using the finest CNC machining technology. This approach underscores Micro Precision’s commitment to using the most advanced techniques and materials to produce a tweeter that not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of audio performance.

Design Features
The rich heritage and knowledge of Thomas Hoffman and his engineering team, together with their ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these amplifiers featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies and latest technological advancements. Some of these include:
– Magnetically inert, aerodynamically damped alloy housing 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.
– Dome is optimised for extremely accurate high frequency behavior, as reflected via its stellar aural performance.
– Dome material is a special resin foam between 6µm aluminium foils.
– High-energy neodymium magnet motor exerts an extremely dense flux over the coil.
– Advanced cooling system to eradicate thermal issues.
– Audio viscous damping with special acoustic materials.
– Gold plated push terminals for large cables and corrosion resistance.
