Audio-Physic Company Information
Audio Physic is a German company, whose credo is ?No Loss of Fine Detail?. Their speakers manage to create a huge sound-stage, weighty and speedy but indeed without losing very fine detail. This means, of course, that the speakers draw you in, engage you fully and unmask all sorts of nuance which previously lived only in the printed score. It is precisely this balanced, proportionate presentation which can be listened to for hours and hours on end ? especially as the imaging and layering going on is never complacent, but rather there is a continually conscientious presentation from the entry level Yara II Evolution right through to the 3.5 way, partly active Kronos Model ? a model which takes a decisive step closer to the pure, live performance. In style and sound Audio Physic appeals readily ? on the very first day of having Audio Physic?s Yaras in our Senso store we had to sell our demo pair, so strong is the Audio Physic effect!

Audio-Physic Avanti V
Audio-Physic Avanti V
Description: Avanti means “forward”
Audio Physic introduces the fourth generation
of its success model
Avanti! Forward! Let’s go! Whether it is Italian fans cheering their red formula 1 race cars or Tifosi, Italian football fans displaying utter passion for their national team - when everything is at stake the rallying cry is Avanti! However there is more to Avanti than simply the notion of moving forward. It also stands for a progressive way of life as well as passion, motivation and progress. Audio Physic recognised the name for what it symbolises and gave it to a revolutionary loudspeaker, first introduced in 1989 and featuring an all-new design concept. The Audio Physic AVANTI was the first loudspeaker to overcome the seemingly insurmountable challenge of matching a rich and full bass response with a slim cabinet. Due to the woofers being arrayed on each side of the cabinet, the loudspeaker could be fitted with large drivers and yet keep a narrow baffle design which would otherwise only be possible with two-way compact speakers. The elegantly slim cabinet added aesthetic appeal as well as provided excellent dispersion characteristics. Reflections in the mid-to-high frequencies, usually associated with wide baffle constructions, finally became a thing of the past, even in large and mature floor standing loudspeakers. The new concept was then embraced by many manufacturers. Today there are quite a number of large loudspeakers which follow in the footsteps of the AVANTI.
With Audio Physic’s brand-new successor to the venerable loudspeaker, every unit and technical aspect has undergone rigorous testing procedures. The AVANTI V has gone into production with a completely new cabinet design, new drivers and crossovers while at the same time remaining true to the three-and-a-half way system with four side-firing 7\\\" woofers. Needless to say that Audio Physic\\\'s cutting-edge knowledge on driver technology, gained over the past six years since the last re-design of the AVANTI, has been applied to the new loudspeaker. The exception is the tweeter system where the so called Hyper-Holographic-Cone tweeter, a new and most recent development by Audio Physic, provides highs in a new dimension. The key question was, after the tedium of innumerable and finally unsatisfactory listening sessions with a variety of different systems, what arguments are against the use of a cone, an excellent membrane choice for all other frequency ranges. The answer: nothing except old-fashioned views dating back to the era of cheap tweeters of an almost unbelievably bad quality mounted in loudspeakers sold off the supermarket shelves. When coupled with state-of-the-art technology ranging from a magnet system built of four Neodymium plates to ceramic coated aluminium diaphragms, cone tweeters as well as high frequency reproduction pioneer new standards and create a new definition. A viable method to ensure seamless integration and smooth transition to the midrange area without the occurrence of a specific coloration known from other systems. Instruments are reproduced with their own characteristic upper spectrum where the sound character is not modified by self induced ringing of the tweeter. Several years of development culminated in the production of a tweeter which is virtually inaudible. Now that is luxury!
The cabinet of the AVANTI follows even more closely the design of the Caldera. The use of refined CAD technology allows for a newly designed structure where the cabinet becomes lighter, more rigid and, above all, more efficient. With conventional designs, the interior surface of the cabinet is likely to be smooth and flat whereas the inside of the new AVANTI is marked by numerous apertures and slits to just below the exterior surface of the cabinet. This is a highly efficient means to drastically extend the relevant surface area as well as significantly increase the cabinet volume.
The cabinet is an open sandwich construction engineered for high internal damping to eliminate structural resonances, making little use of additional absorbing materials.
The result can be easily explained by comparing an empty room such as an indoor swimming pool or a new, unfurnished apartment to an equally empty cellar vault. The latter, due to its irregular wall structure, is less prone to create unwanted flutter echoes than the other two rooms with their flat and smooth walls. A similar effect can be observed in pubs or clubs in newly constructed buildings compared to those located in old or historical buildings. New pub locations usually have to contend with flat, unplastered walls where the level of surrounding noise is much higher than in cellar pubs.
Through the intelligent combination of several high damping materials, Audio Physic has achieved a cabinet design capable of eliminating still existing cabinet resonance and coloration right from the start. In addition to being gently slanted – the Audio Physic solution to correctly time align the drivers – the front baffle is smoothly rounded in order to minimise diffraction and improve the horizontal radiation pattern. Therefore, sound waves can radiate with the loudspeaker cabinet having hardly any influence on them at all. Optimising the AVANTI\\\'s cabinet has yielded a result which appeals as much to the eye as to the ear. Spatial sound reproduction, the loudspeaker’s trump card ever since, is noticeably more three dimensional and offers a much larger spatial image.
When a loudspeaker such as the AVANTI is given time and conditions in which to mature, it is often that progress is only accomplished by adopting a large number of detailed measures.
The vibration control terminal (VCT), fitted with neoprene for elastic suspension, is one of these details. Decoupling the terminal from the cabinet is an effective solution to avoid the transmission of vibrations from the cabinet to the loudspeaker cables as well as other associated equipment. Just a minor detail, or so it seems. Despite or maybe because of the AVANTI’s exquisite technology combined with top-class quality, this detail was able to achieve an obvious level of efficiency when practically applied.
With the new AVANTI, Audio Physic not only builds on the success of its sublime, critically acclaimed loudspeaker series, the manufacturer has also achieved a new benchmark in high fidelity performance and excellence. At Audio Physic we take special pride in saying that we are the first to achieve that our new loudspeaker lets the music flow with glorious sound and virtually no discernible imprint of its own but for a touch of refinement, elegance and ease.

Audio-Physic Step
Audio-Physic Step
Description:
Bookshelf: In the case of smaller speakers, how ever, much lower technical quality often comes with the smaller size. With the bookshelf speakers from AUDIO PHYSIC you do not compromise. We did indeed build smaller cabinets, however we included state-of-the art technology and created a most attractive finish.

Caldera, the Spanish word for cauldron, describes
a basin-shaped crater of volcanic origin.
The completely new designed Caldera is a three-and-half-way loudspeaker fitted with coaxial tweeter-midrange drivers. In other words, the two drivers responsible for integrity and focus in the most sensitive area of voice and string instrument reproduction above 150 Hertz share the same axis and closely approximate the acoustic ideal of a point source.

Audio-Physic Sitara
Audio-Physic Sitara
Description:
SITARA is the youngest member of our successfully revamped High End product range. With its elegant and graceful design, the loudspeaker is a piece of art that will make bold statements about your taste and style. The qualities of the SITARA can be fully enjoyed in rooms of up to 25 m2. However with the help of one or two subwoofers, the loudspeaker is equally capable of giving a brilliant performance in much larger rooms.
