Critical Mass Systems ULTRA-Q

surpasses the best entries of other manufacturers

Improved to exceed your expectations, the Ultra-Q surpasses the best entries of other manufacturers in performance and aesthetic. With technology trickled down from our top-of-the-line OLYMPUS-Ultra, Ultra-Q is another Masterwork of Thermodynamics designed exclusively for high end audio systems to provide music lovers realism in their listening experience. The Ultra-Q used the OLYMPUS-Ultra as a template.  It is a miniaturized version of our statement architecture.  The Ultra-Q machining follows the cuts and chamfers of the OLYMPUS-Ultra and even requires multiple insertions into the CNC machine just as the OLYMPUS-Ultra does.

The Ultra-Diamond and Ultra-Platinum filters which can be used with the Ultra-Q architecture, are constructed following our patented and award-winning dual-zone, 12-stage vibration damping model. Our unique Dual-Zone, 12-stage system is unparalleled in producing the lowest and most neutral noise floor in the industry. Ultra-Q and its filters help components create a much-coveted sense of realism across the audible spectrum.
