Aequo Audio adamantis

A D A M A N T I S  is an unshakable rock and true master of proven concepts. It represents all that is good in passive speaker designs but then modernized, perfected, and very high-end. Each design element is executed to perfection, strengths are strengthened and weaknesses eliminated. Offering incredible value for money, it can outshine speakers a multitude of its price. A powerhouse that will move the hearts of all those who experience it.

UNIQUE NANOTECH CABINET TECHNOLOGY

When thinking of big leaps in audio engineering, our Diluvite cabinets will probably qualify as such. The entire speakers are cast from a proprietary Nano-material which has the unique quality of turning vibrations into heat. It does so in the same efficient manner measured from 1 to 100.000 Hz. The result is a completely inert cabinet, without any unwanted sounds and vibrations. 

​​

PROPERTIES

• Turns vibration into heat: minimizing unwanted resonances.

  
  

• Two times stiffer than aluminum.

  
  

• Ten times better damping than aluminum.

  
  

• Same high damping from 1 Hz to 100.000 Hz.

  
  

• Castable: making very complex design shapes possible.

  
  

• The absence of unwanted resonances have an incredible impact on the emotional message delivered.

  
  

EHDL™ HIGH FREQUENCY SYSTEM

Based on extensive research on the relation of energy dispersion by all possible types of tweeter systems and optimal sound performance, the EHDL™ (Enhanced Horizontal Dispersion Lens) system combines low distortion moving coil tweeters with a controlled vertical/horizontal dispersion lens for the ultimate holographic 3D soundstage and imaging. It solves the problems of top octave response irregularities as well as fixes the non-pistonic drawbacks normally encountered by soft dome tweeters without introducing the harshness of hard domes.​​

DRIVER CHARACTERISTICS

INCREDIBLY FAST, a hallmark of Aequo loudspeakers, offering very high resolution and a heartmelting emotional impact.

VERY LOW DISTORTION, resulting in a clean en realistic sounding performance at any volume.

HIGH-DAMPING MATERIALS, responsible for that pure and natural sound, fabled amongst Aequo loudspeaker owners. No added ringing, just hours of non-fatiguing listening pleasure.

PERFECT PHASE ALLIGNMENT, througout the whole frequency range. An accomplishement by itself, but when combined with perfect positioned drivers based on their acoustic center, low order crossover filter topology and minimized cabinet diffraction, what remains is a speaker that completely disappears while creating an incredibly real and tangeable holographic soundstage.

SPECS

​​​​

WEIGHT  |  129 kg per speaker

SENSITIVITY  |  89dB at 4 ohm nominal

​​​

FREQUENCY RANGE  |  20 Hz - 45 kHz  (-3 dB in-room response)

IMPEDANCE  |  8 ohm nominal (minimum impedance: 3 ohm)

DYNAMIC OUTPUT  |  Max full range linear SPL >116 dB @ 500 Watt (250 Watt per speaker).

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER  | Minimum recommendation of 20 W at 4 ohm nominal. Recommended power >50 Watt. Long term maximum power handling of 350 Watt, but higher peak-power is allowed.

ENCLOSURE  |  Diluvite Nanocast-MMC™ and inserts of Diluvite Nanocast PMC™ assembled with eleven high-strength/tension bolts. Multi-polymerfinishing panels. Totally resonance-free operation and perfect driver time alignment. Horn loaded 19 Hz reflex front-port close to floor.

FEET  |  Three M12 spikes are standard. Rear spike adjustable for tilt/tweeter presence.

TWEETER   |   The  Innovative high frequency transducer system is equipped with Aequo Audio's fully symmetric SF40 high frequency transducer for high resolution and very low distortion. It's concentric fabric ring and dome design for extended frequency bandwidth, billet aluminum dispersion cone on carbon fiber rod to eliminate high frequency irregularities and fix the middle dome to eliminate membrane resonances. Enhanced Horizontal Dispersion Lens (EHDL™) ensures 3D holographic soundstage and imaging in all rooms.

MID BASS  |  Mega-fast 5 inch Nomex coated paper pulp composite, closed box.

SUBWOOFER  |   Super fast 10 inch subwoofer with aluminium cone, very low distortion motor with heat resistant anodized voicecoil that can travel 50mm in symmetric magnetic field for clean and fast dynamics, ported.

CROSSOVER  |  Low order filter slopes with super wideband phase alignment, made with high quality Danish and German components. Precision value air-coils made on order in a symmetric topology with only audiophile PP (super)-caps and low tolerance Danish super-resistors. Crossover filter is placed in separate enclosure, free from sound and pressure waves.
