Opposites are simply fascinating us: A compact horn speaker with a capital sound performance. A distinctly reduced product design with downright lavish and sophisticated technology inside. That is the UNO. The entry into the cosmos of our classic horn loudspeaker designs, and yet already a statement that knows only few competition.

The UNO XD Series is a scaled–down version of the classical DUO system. By employing smaller 10 inch bass drivers and by integrating the horns as part of the speaker body, we managed to reduce the cabinet structure considerably. The objective was to accomplish the clarity and power of its “bigger“ brother in a significantly reduced enclosure.

The 500mm spherical midrange horn covers a wide bandwidth down to 300 hz. The active subwoofer SUB225 XD Series supplements the balance between spherical horn performance and low frequency reproduction. It is actuated by two 10 inch long– excursion drivers powered by a 1.000 Watt amplifier.

All horn drivers are equipped with Omega voice coils. With this high impedance technology we improve the interaction of membrane movement and amplifier signal, to realise the full potential of the spherical horn technology. The result is 18 ohms impedance combined with 107 dB system sensitivity – likely the highest figures in any production speaker.

Using Avantgarde Acoustic´s™ CDC–technology, we precisely align the frequency response, sensitivity of the driver, the geometry of the membrane and the air chamber at the horn throat to the response curve of the spherical midrange horn. This way the midrange driver has no passive filter components in the signal path – routing the music signal directly to the voice coil of the driver engine. Less components, less interactions, less friction ensuring more detail.

The tweeter of the UNO XD series is equipped with the patent pending Capacitor–Polarization–Circuit to bypass the structural limitations of capacitors. By applying a polarization current to the conductors of a custom designed capacitor, we managed to eliminate the physical phenomenon known as “dielectric memory effect”.

Frequency control in the low frequencies is managed by an advanced digital sound processor. The digitally controlled frequency crossover ensure a seamless integration of the bass response to the spherical horns. The DSP is equipped with 10 parametric equalizers to fine control the sound to the customers taste and to the acoustics of the room.
