1.0 The History Since the invention of the phonograph, generations of investigators and engineers have worked to make perfect the quality of audio record and playback. The power spring of these efforts is and was the dream of human beings to hold tight for ever irretrievable moments and, particularly, impressive musical experiences, and thus to make repeatable, so to say „live to hear“ again.
2.0 The products 2.1 Scala 3.6 - Re-defining high-end The slim Scala 3.6 stands for legendary Swiss quality and combines refined technology with elegant, timeless design. Audiophiles who are tired of their flats looking like sound studios will love these speakers. In short: a totally new dimension of listening for you to discover. You can directly connect a digital source to the Scala 3.6 as the speakers are based on digital signal processing.
2.2 A new milestone in digital Technology - Prestige Digital Based on the technology we have already successfully implemented in the Scala 3.6, we have developed another highlight in the Digital-Active Loudspeakersystems. Even slimmer in the dimensions, the Prestige Digital is equal to the big brother Scala in every way. Equipped with 8 bass-chassis, this 'modifier' converts the offered digital signals with the same superiority and also easily into an 'acoustic experience'.
2.3 The interface - DLC-2 The Revox DLC-2 acts as interface between digital (e.g. CD player, MD recorder or CD recorder) and analogue sound sources (e.g. FM tuner or tape deck) on the one hand and the Revox digital active loudspeaker systems on the other hand. For operation in conjunction with analogue devices, the DLC-2 houses a state-of-the-art analogue-to-digital converter, that converts analogue input signals to digital format.
3.0 Technical details 3.1 Digital-Active Loudspeakersystem - whats' that? The Revox digital-active loudspeakersystems consist of three parts: 1. A loudspeaker box housing with specially built, high-quality loudspeaker drive units. 2. A digital signal processor (DSP) by Motorola, embedded in an electronic unit, for all digital signal processing. This DSP is responsible for filtering the signals, distributing them to the individual frequency ranges, and thus to the individual power amplifiers.
3.3 What is delay compensation by means of digital technology? The problem is as follows: Traditional passive and analogue active crossover networks lead to long frequencydependant time delays. This means that the different frequencies of a piece of music leave the crossover network at different times, whereas during a live performance of a music instrument, all frequencies are emitted simultaneously. The lower the limit frequency of the network, the worse the time delay.
balance the tolerances of the voice coils, which are caused by the tolerance of the wire, different winding, etc., each amplifier is specially adjusted to the single drivers when the loudspeaker is assembled. The result of this exacting method is a precise control of the motions of the voice coil and consequently of the speaker’s diaphragm. A pulse does no longer give rise to many decreasing vibrations but to one single oscillation.
3.5 Why an extensive bracing of the cabinet ? The loudspeaker cabinet is very tall. Moreover, there are several vents for the speaker drivers on the front panel. As a result, transmission of vibrations from the drivers to the cabinet can hardly be prevented. However, to avoid such vibrations, stiffening ribs are optimally placed within the cabinet. By implementing this, admittedly, slightly extreme measure, we have succeeded in eliminating all vibrations. 3.
4.0 The digital sources, recommendations Exception CD-Player E 426 The E 426 CD-Player is a user-friendly top loader that allows you to change CDs easily and quickly. As it carries latest generation Hall motor drives, there are no mechanical influences while the discs are read, which makes the E 426 a lifelong companion.
