Audio Physic Midex

Performance and elegance in perfect harmony

Audio Physic presents the new Midex. The award-winning speaker is equipped for the first time with the revolutionary PowerTrain technology including the new midrange driver HHCM SL.

Take the position of the woofers, for instance. Instead of placing them next to each other below the tweeter and the midrange driver, they flank the other drivers, with one woofer on the top, the other at the bottom of the baffle. This placement helps avoid uncontrolled effects of room acoustics in the bass region, enhancing low-frequency fidelity significantly.

The Midex cabinet uses our tried-and-tested Sandwich Construction and has an internal reinforcement structure made from open-cell Ceramic Foam. This very expensive high-tech material is unique in that it consists mostly of air, surrounded by a network of ceramic that’s nearly as hard as diamond. Ceramic Foam is very light but extremely stiff and strong. By using Ceramic Foam for reinforcement, we can create a very stiff cabinet without wasting internal volume, compared to using conventional materials. This means that the Midex is acoustically a lot larger than its outside dimensions suggest.

In its internal structure, the Midex also features a new Honeycomb Sandwich Board, a material that we have first used in our flagship speaker Structure. At a fraction of the weight, this material is very light and rigid and a lot better in avoiding unwanted vibrations and resonances than the commonly used MDF, thus further optimizing the acoustically relevant volume of the cabinet.

Other pioneering Audio Physic technologies featured in the Midex include the unique dampening of the cross-over network and the connection terminal. The latter, like on all our speakers, is equipped with high-end nextgen® connectors by WBT.

Easy installation and sure footing on any surface are ensured by the same robust traverse setup that we use on our Codex speaker. Equipped with standard M8 threads, this can easily be upgraded with Audio Physic VCF V Magnetic Plus Vibration Control Feet. These feet noticeably improve audio fidelity, reproduction authenticity and protect sensitive floors from scratches.

The Midex comes with the new HHCM SL midrange driver and third-generation HHCT tweeter, which are also used in the Codex. The modern architecture effectively reduces self-resonance and leads to an inimitably pure and open sound reproduction. 

For easy set-up and safe standing on any surface, the Midex has a stable truss construction, as it is also used in our Codex. The trusses are equipped with an M8 thread and can therefore be upgraded with the Vibration Control Feet VCF V Magnetic Plus. Their trend-setting design allows for a noticeably increased imaging fidelity and reproduction authenticity, and they also protect sensitive floors from scratches.

In terms of sound, the Midex is beyond reproach thanks to its versatility, and there is no need to make any compromises with it in terms of looks either. It is available in a variety of wood and high-gloss glass finishes as standard, and can be fitted with glass panels in virtually any color on request.

3-Way Design

The 3-way speaker features three different drivers that share reproduction of the entire frequency range. One or more woofers, a midrange driver and a tweeter. Usually the crossover frequency between low and mid frequencies is set between 150Hz and 300Hz, and between 2,000Hz and 3,000Hz for the transition from the midrange to the tweeter.

PowerTrain™

Sandwich Cabinet Construction

Our unique Sandwich Cabinets are an innovative way to stop the speaker cabinet from developing an acoustical life of its own. It is especially effective with our stylish glass-finished speakers as the relatively high weight of the glass panels helps dampening the cabinet even better.

HHCT III – Hyper Holographic Cone Tweeter

Many AUDIO PHYSIC Core Technologies have been combined to build the HHCT-III tweeter. Together, they serve a single purpose: To guarantee an authentic rendition of the music, unaffected by any unwanted vibrations.

HHCM SL

The HHCM SL works without a spider, which means that kinetic energy is transferred in an unimagined way. This creates an outstanding and natural music reproduction that you can’t believe until you hear it.

HHCM SL – Revolutionary performance in the midrange

Honeycomb Sandwich Board

Very rigid material with an internal honeycomb structure, first used in our state-of-the-art STRUCTURE. It is very light and a lot better in avoiding unwanted vibrations and resonances than the commonly used MDF.

Ceramic Foam Bracing

Ceramic Foam is a high-tech material used for internal bracing in many of our speakers. It is much stiffer than MDF although it consists of 85% air. This means, the room taken up by the internal bracing is also part of the effective volume of air the drivers need to work. By using Ceramic Foam, we can build loudspeakers that match and out-perform much bulkier speakers.

Dual Basket Design

AUDIO PHYSIC’S unique DUAL BASKET DESIGN is a true break-through innovation and the most important part of the HHCM-III technology. Instead of the tradition single basket, our HHCM-III features two separate baskets to prevent and subdue unwanted vibrations already at the source.

Active Cone Damping

ACTIVE CONE DAMPING is a unique design to reduce resonances in metal diaphragms, developed exclusively by AUDIO PHYSIC.

Bi-Wiring/Bi-Amping optional

Most our speakers have a regular single-wiring terminal to avoid unnecessary metal or wire bridges that would harm sound quality when used in single-wiring configuration (Which is what most Hi-Fi fans actually use). However, an optional Bi-Wiring/Bi-Amping Terminal can usually be ordered with any new speaker. Retrofitting only on special request.

CCAC – Ceramic Coated Aluminium Cone

By coating a conical aluminium diaphragm with a special ceramic material, AUDIO PHYSIC creates a diaphragm that is at the same time very light as well as extremely rigid. When used together with ACTIVE CONE DAMPING technology the cone diaphragm is virtually immune against any partial oscillations that would otherwise impair the sound.

VCF – Vibration Control Feet optional

The best feet for our – and other – speakers. VCF provide a substantial improvement of sound performance by reducing transfer of unwanted vibrations while at the same time protecting delicate surfaces. Also available as VCF Component for Hi-Fi separates and as VCF Cable Supports.

VCT – Vibration Control Terminal

Unwanted vibrations have negative effects on sound quality wherever they occur in the signal path. Because AUDIO PHYSIC has made it their mission to fight unwanted vibration and resonance whenever and wherever they occur, the fully decoupled VIBRATION CONTROL TERMINAL (VCT) has been devised.
