Gauder Akustik ARCONA-80

“There has never been so much substantial sound in this price-range before”
stereoplay 01/2013

The ARCONA 80’s working principle is based upon a 2 ½- way-concept whose high power effectiveness and sound performance has already been demonstrated by our award-winning GAUDER AKUSTIK Vescova. The ARCONA 80 possesses two 7”-woofer/midrange drivers with our patented X-Pulse diaphragm and our AMT-tweeter . The lower woofer only reproduces low frequencies up to 120 Hz while the upper one is responsible for both bass and midrange. To optimize this function principle the lower woofer works into
a bassreflex cabinet while the upper one due to its midrange response works into a closed-box enclosure which is stuffed with sheep wool. In combination with the frequency crossover a perfect harmony of these different driving modes is guaranteed leading to a fantastic performance. Close your eyes and listen to the virtual image of the orchestra and instruments. That’s live! The German HiFi-magazine stereoplay rated the performance
of the ARCONA 80 in its highest ranking category: “Absolute top-class”!

Technology

The top-class of tweeters –
our new GAUDER AKUSTIK air-motion-transformerAll loudspeakers of our ARCONA-series work with an incredibly fast AMT-tweeter. Its super-strong FeNdB (Iron-Neodymium- Bor)-Magnet accelerates the diaphragm so fast that it reaches a resolution which was not believed to be possible – and this in combination with a very high efficiency. This tweeter which was invented and developed by Oscar Heil consists of a harmonica-like diaphragm which carries electrically conducting circuit paths. As this diaphragm is placed in a strong magnetic field the single harmonica pockets are contracted and extracted in the rhythm of the applied current. Thus sound is irradiated. Through the harmonica principle the
air molecules are accelerated five times higher than by normal dome tweeters. It doesn’t matter if you listen to pop, jazz or classical music – we can promise you this experience of pure fascination by the dynamical, transparent and natural sound of all our ARCONA loudspeakers.
