The Reference One loudspeaker is able to conjure an entire jazz band or even a symphonic orchestra into your living room or home studio. The frequency and dynamic range are so wide, that any instrument and music genre can be played effortlessly with no compromise. The specially designed standing-wave free cabinet and the phase-coherent crossover are perfectly matched to these world-class drivers to create a realistic, transparent and masterfully balanced sound.
The high definition pair-matched drivers, the acoustically separated and direct-wired (no PCB) high-end crossover and the precision tuning deliver exceptional details, coherence and breathtaking separation in the whole audio range. Therefore the loudspeaker able to transfer not only the emotional content of your recordings, but the original mood and acoustical environment as well. You can feel yourself right where the recording made.
Our invention, the “direct-coupled reflex box” creates, articulated and deep bass down to 28Hz! The low range is perfectly free of discolourations and perfectly controlled. That makes the Reference One able to communicate the differences between different bass guitars too and perfectly position bass range instruments too in its 3D soundstage. The forward-radiating port is responsible for the phase correct bass- and mid-range radiation which makes the cabinet less picky to the room acoustics and placement than conventional designs.
Conventional loudspeakers suffer also from phase issues. During the design process of Reference One, we paid special attention to this very important phenomenon. All the frequencies appeared in the Music at the same time should arrive to the listener at the same moment. This precision is realized in the aura-like representation of the singer’s voice, the deviceless, natural sound, and the lifelike, room filling 3D soundstage, which are the privileges of only the world’s finest speakers.
