Apertura Armonia Evolution

The ARMONIA is the latest model in the Apertura range that has received the very latest performance upgrades, Introducing: The ARMONIA Evolution.

The concept remains unchanged : using the same basis but with the implementation of a bigger ribbon tweeter and a brand new cross-over, Apertura are now able to offer a loudspeaker which surpass the performances of their best seller, ARMONIA.

Armonia Evolution has also a new cabinet design, making this new speaker even more elegant. And as for all other models, great attention is given to the smallest details.

DRIVE UNITS

• 18cm mid/woofer « isotactic matrix » with a woven polypropylene composite cone. This material combines stiffness, lightness and good damping properties.
  Long voice coil for a high linear excursion.

• New generation of ribbon tweeter, using a flat metalized polymer diaphragm.
  Its emissive area is twice that of the Edena tweeter. A double surface will reduce the movements of the ribbon, and thus the distortion.

• The result is an increase dynamic capacity and a higher resolution.

CROSSOVER

• Proprietary « DRIM » structure with a triple attenuation slopes and phase control over the entire bandwidth.

• A brand new crossover for the Armonia Evolution.
  Selection of very high end capacitors.

• Each set of drive units (tweeter and mid/woofer) are individually measured and crossover values adjusted according to these sets measurements.

• Hand wiring on a 140 µm copper printed circuit board.

• Optimised crossover structure to avoid magnetic interference between components

• Binding post: Pure copper, silver -plated

ENCLOSURE

• This new model uses the Apertura very specific cabinet shape: two curved sides of different length and no parallel front and back panels.

• Laminar structure based on multiple thin layers pressure molded.
  Such process creates breaking modes and limit propagation of vibrations.

• Double thickness on the most critical panels

• Woofer frame mechanical locking

• Internal multi-cavity framework to stiffen the structure and create very specific areas where damping materials can be applied)

• Importance is given to damping treatment to cancel any standing waves. We are using 3 different types of dumping materials.

• Mechanical grounding : a central cone positioned on the axis of the center of gravity improves vibrations transfer to the floor.

• New aluminum stands and spikes available. Choice of 2 anodized colors: black or silver

• 2 different finishes available :

  • Satin : light oak, american walnut
