Design Ideologies
The Germanium series of components are the evolution of the highly acclaimed Profi-Vanadium series, boasting far superior technologies and materials in comparison with the previous ranges. Utilising elements like blackened aluminium paper composite diaphragms, large heavy duty exceptionally vented voice coils, aluminium die-cast baskets, extremely strong magnets, fully machined components and high quality plated connection terminals; the Germanium speakers and subwoofers are unlike anything previously heard within this price point.
Quality Controlled
Given Rainbow has been developing and testing loudspeakers of all sizes for over thirty years now, you’d have expected the company to all but perfected the art of loudspeaker design, and you’d be correct. Between its manufacturing processes and developmental acumen; all Germanium drivers are developed and manufactured in accordance with Rainbows strict quality control regime. This guarantees high quality in terms of performance and workmanship.
