REALITY 3D MKll is a reference loudspeaker in the audiophile high-end class which
truly reflect the reality of recorded sound. REALITY 3D MKll has a very open
soundstage while keeping the precision of the voices and the instruments. The Form Follows Function The geometrical form of the REALITY 3D cabinet is a tetrahedron. It is not only unique, because of its aesthetic values, but it is full of acoustical advantages. A tetrahedron is an equilateral pyramid; it has only three sides and a triangle bottom, not four sides and a square bottom as a pyramid. As no standing waves occur in a tetrahedron it is a cabinet without preferences to resonance-frequencies. Inside the cabinet acoustic waves can never amplify one another in phase and are reflected by the inside walls under ever-changing angles. By listening briefly it quickly becomes apparent that it is not a conventional cabinet like for example a tube, pipe, or square box. A tube box or curved box has one vertical standing wave and both have the horizontal organ pipe tone. A square box has one vertical standing wave and two horizontal standing waves. REALITY 3D is free of the disadvantages, free of standing waves and free of the organ pipe tones. |

The 7.5 degree angled cabinet, in combination with the
natural acoustic behavior of the driver units, ensures phase linear radiation
(acoustic time-alignment of the driver units). This means there is no time
difference of the sound coming from the bass unit and the tweeter unit. This
kind of timing error is never corrected in loudspeakers, where the baffle is
mounted vertical. Acoustical time-alignment is very important for the sound
quality, much more than most people do believe. The very slim profile of
asymmetrical cabinet also helps to avoid diffractions and maximizes sound
spreading. Further, the slim form ensures a very stiff cabinet. |
