The quality lightweight die-cast enclosure of Cyrus dAD3 has a myriad of advantages both electrically and mechanically. The non-resonant nature of the alloy minimises microphonic effects, while its non-ferrous composition provides an effective shield from external electromagnetic disturbances. This also eliminates coupling of the power transformer stray magnetic fields to the sensitive audio circuitry. dAD3’s 18 bit Digital to Analogue conversion module achieves well over 100 dB true dynamic range with negligible distortion. Handed down from Dacmaster’s development this implementation results in superior resolution of the low-level signals that in turn enables the system to reproduce the subtle nuances of the music and the atmosphere of the recording venue accurately. The high stability, low jitter system clock system specifically developed for the Cyrus dAD3 is featured to ensure that low level information is not masked by time related distortion artefacts. Jitter related aberrations produce a complex type of anharmonics distortion that results in smearing and loss of clarity in the mid-range. Extensive inter-stage Power supply decoupling together with star-earthing techniques are responsible for isolating the sensitive analogue stages from high-speed digital circuits. The net result of this measure is the total absence of Power supply imprint onto the signal lines that can account for loss of coherent musical timing.

Further information: Very useful to protect and even improve for low power gear especially for your TV, Blu Ray Player, Streamer/Setup box and so on. I have a few of them if someone needs more than one. Furman AC-210A E 10 Amp compact power conditioner with auto-resetting voltage protection. Export. The AC-210AE compact power conditioner features Furman’s revolutionary SMP technology. Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit features our exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS). Together, these technologies comprise what is, without question, the world’s most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor. SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus) Furman’s SMP surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your system, and repair of your surge suppressor. Not so with SMP. With Furman’s SMP, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped and dissipated - no sacrificed parts, no service calls, no down time. Unique to Furman’s SMP is its unparalleled clamping voltage, even when tested beyond the grueling specifications of - USA/CIDA’s A-1-1 test. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above 300VAC peak (far beyond long accepted professional standards), Furman’s SMP clamps at 376VAC peak, 275 VAC RMS even when tested with multiple 6000VAC - 3000 Amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only available with Furman’s SMP technology. LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology) Unfortunately, traditional AC filter/conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they help, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or destroyed digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the equipment ground. Furman’s SMP with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring optimal performance through linear filtering and no leakage to ground. E.V.S. (Extreme Voltage Shutdown) Furman’s trusted overvoltage circuitry protects against all too frequent accidental connections to extreme voltage by shutting off the incoming power until the overvoltage condition is corrected. Compact Chassis Design At only 1.75'H x 5'W x 8.5'D, and weighing in at only 3 lbs., the AC-210 A E's compact, low-profile design makes it ideal for mounting to the back of a flat-screen television, or anywhere that discretely located, remote power protection and purification are needed.

Further information: P3.0 Floorstanding Loudspeaker The flagship within the new Precision Series. The P3.0 delivers emphatically. A true High-End audio thoroughbred. Expertise in Design & Construction Three-decades of Research & Development underpin the Wilson Benesch Design Team. The Precision Series distills core Wilson Benesch loudspeaker technologies within its loudspeaker enclosures. With trickle-down technology from the reference line evident throughout its design. ALUMINIUM TOP & BOTTOM BRACING The Precision Series used a multi-material hybridised structure. This design philosophy has been developed by Wilson Benesch over three-decades of loudspeaker enclosure design. By combining multiple-materials in this way the designer is essentially forming a composite structure that allows the unique properties of each material to be used to create a design advantage. This exact same hybridised design ethos is used in the reference line Geometry Series. The distinct Precision Series top and bottom 'caps', whilst elegant forms, are in fact critical components in the enclosure design. Precision CNC-machined from solid billets of aluminium, the caps lock in position the front and rear aluminum baffles with the wood side panels. The caps are then tied along the vertical axis of the Precision Series enclosure using aluminium alloy bars that brace the enclosure and compress the whole structure to ensure it is as sonically inert and stiff as possible. This tie and brace design is used across the Geometry Series and also within the Isobars of the R1 HIFI Rack. This construction technology is another example of trickle-down technologies taken directly from our reference line. LEONARDO TWEETER The Leonardo Tweeter has been developed directly through an iterative design approach that gave birth to the Fibonnaci and Semisphere Tweeters before it. Unlike these exotic wide-bandwidth designs, the Leonardo does not employ a hybridised Silk-Carbon dome and thus its frequency response is flat to 24 kHz. However the geometrically optimised and decoupled polymer-carbon fibre faceplate is taken directly from the same shelf as that used in the Eminence loudspeaker. This entirely proprietary component is manufactured in-house using the latest 3D printing technology. The faceplate acts as a waveguide to guarantee optimal dispersion and phase characteristics for the Leonardo Tweeter. Just like the Semisphere Tweeter, Leonardo features the proprietary Neodymium magnet ring in its rear chamber. This open architecture ensures optimal energy paths for both acoustic and thermal energy; critical design considerations where super low distortion levels are aspired to. TACTIC II DRIVE UNIT: Design Philosophy At the very core of the development of Wilson Benesch drive unit technology was the ethos that transient response time should be reduced as much as possible. That is to say the response of the drive unit to change from equilibrium or steady state. There are no delays in nature and yet when a dynamic drive unit attempts to reproduce a range of frequencies from a recording, the laws of physics dictate that the moving mass of the drive unit will always reproduce sound with some delay. This is an unavoidable design limitation of all dynamic drive unit designs today. However these physical laws can be observed and used as a guide to optimise the dynamic drive unit design. By introducing light and stiff materials to reduce mass, powerful rare-earth magnets to increase power and control, highly optimised structural design to maximise the unique properties of each material and form within the structure, the Tactic II drive unit is a near optimal dynamic drive unit design. Wilson Benesch has iteratively developed four drive unit designs. These have been referred to by the independent press as “lightning fast” and "one-third dynamic, two-thirds electrostatic". Testament to the design ethos at the core of these technological developments. TACTIC II DRIVE UNIT: Isotactic Polypropylene Arguably the most critical component in any dynamic drive unit design is the choice of material in the cone. Wilson Benesch was the first company in the world to develop a consumer product that used Isotactic Polypropylene. More than a decade on, this remains the material of choice in all our drive unit technologies. It's unique balance of high specific stiffness with exceptional damping provide what we regard as the optimum balance of material properties. Other hard dome technologies, including that using carbon fibre have been extensively tested. Without exception all these technologies result in the need to design complex crossovers to control unwanted resonances within the cone which arise from very high specific stiffness. This complexity within crossover design is regarded as a compromise. INTERNAL ENCLOSURE TIES & BRACES The hybridised Precision Series enclosure is further stiffened and damped using threaded steel bars. The bars terminate into threaded pockets on both the aluminium top and bottom caps, plus the front and rear aluminium baffles. The bars are then torqued to create a compressive force across both the vertical and horizontal axis of the Precision Series P3.0 enclosure. This design feature is used across our reference loudspeaker line and also within the Isobars of the R1 HIFI Rack. This construction technology is another example of trickle-down technologies taken directly from our reference line. INTERNAL DAMPING As the leader in loudspeaker enclosure design, Wilson Benesch incorporated into the design of the Precision Series numerous features that allow the enclosure to be stiffened and damped optimally. Another example of this is seen in the tubular structures that populate the internal enclosure to provide both increased stiffness but also damping of the Precision Series enclosure along its horizontal axis.

Wilson Benesch has iteratively developed four drive unit designs. These have been referred to by the independent press as “lightning fast” and "one-third dynamic, two-thirds electrostatic". Testament to the design ethos at the core of these technological developments. TACTIC II DRIVE UNIT: Isotactic Polypropylene Arguably the most critical component in any dynamic drive unit design is the choice of material in the cone. Wilson Benesch was the first company in the world to develop a consumer product that used Isotactic Polypropylene. More than a decade on, this remains the material of choice in all our drive unit technologies. It's unique balance of high specific stiffness with exceptional damping provide what we regard as the optimum balance of material properties. Other hard dome technologies, including that using carbon fibre have been extensively tested. Without exception all these technologies result in the need to design complex crossovers to control unwanted resonances within the cone which arise from very high specific stiffness. This complexity within crossover design is regarded as a compromise. INTERNAL ENCLOSURE TIES & BRACES The hybridised Precision Series enclosure is further stiffened and damped using threaded steel bars. The bars terminate into threaded pockets on both the aluminium top and bottom caps, plus the front and rear aluminium baffles. The bars are then torqued to create a compressive force across both the vertical and horizontal axis of the Precision Series P2.0 enclosure. This design feature is used across our reference loudspeaker line and also within the Isobars of the R1 HIFI Rack. This construction technology is another example of trickle-down technologies taken directly from our reference line. INTERNAL DAMPING As the leader in loudspeaker enclosure design, Wilson Benesch incorporated into the design of the Precision Series numerous features that allow the enclosure to be stiffened and damped optimally. Another example of this is seen in the tubular structures that populate the internal enclosure to provide both increased stiffness but also damping of the Precision Series enclosure along its horizontal axis.

Further information: P1.0 Standmount Loudspeaker The entry into the new Precision Series. The P1.0 offers exceptional value and performance. Expertise in Design & Construction Three-decades of Research & Development underpin the Wilson Benesch Design Team. The Precision Series distills core Wilson Benesch loudspeaker technologies within its loudspeaker enclosures. With trickle-down technology from the reference line evident throughout its design. INTERNAL ENCLOSURE TIES & BRACES The hybridised Precision Series enclosure is further stiffened and damped using threaded steel bars. The bars terminate into threaded pockets on both the aluminium top and bottom caps, plus the front and rear aluminium baffles. The bars are then torqued to create a compressive force across the vertical axis of the Precision Series P1.0 enclosure. This design feature is used across our reference loudspeaker line and also within the Isobars of the R1 HIFI Rack. This construction technology is another example of trickle-down technologies taken directly from our reference line. ALUMINIUM TOP & BOTTOM BRACING The Precision Series used a multi-material hybridised structure. This design philosophy has been developed by Wilson Benesch over three-decades of loudspeaker enclosure design. By combining multiple-materials in this way the designer is essentially forming a composite structure that allows the unique properties of each material to be used to create a design advantage. This exact same hybridised design ethos is used in the reference line Geometry Series. The distinct Precision Series top and bottom 'caps', whilst elegant forms, are in fact critical components in the enclosure design. Precision CNC-machined from solid billets of aluminium, the caps lock in position the front and rear aluminum baffles with the wood side panels. The caps are then tied along the vertical axis of the Precision Series enclosure using aluminium alloy bars that brace the enclosure and compress the whole structure to ensure it is as sonically inert and stiff as possible. This tie and brace design is used across the Geometry Series and also within the Isobars of the R1 HIFI Rack. This construction technology is another example of trickle-down technologies taken directly from our reference line. LEONARDO TWEETER The Leonardo Tweeter has been developed directly through an iterative design approach that gave birth to the Fibonnaci and Semisphere Tweeters before it. Unlike these exotic wide-bandwidth designs, the Leonardo does not employ a hybridised Silk-Carbon dome and thus its frequency response is flat to 24 kHz. However the geometrically optimised and decoupled polymer-carbon fibre faceplate is taken directly from the same shelf as that used in the Eminence loudspeaker. This entirely proprietary component is manufactured in-house using the latest 3D printing technology. The faceplate acts as a waveguide to guarantee optimal dispersion and phase characteristics for the Leonardo Tweeter. Just like the Semisphere Tweeter, Leonardo features the proprietary Neodymium magnet ring in its rear chamber. This open architecture ensures optimal energy paths for both acoustic and thermal energy; critical design considerations where super low distortion levels are aspired to. TACTIC II DRIVE UNIT: Design Philosophy At the very core of the development of Wilson Benesch drive unit technology was the ethos that transient response time should be reduced as much as possible. That is to say the response of the drive unit to change from equilibrium or steady state. There are no delays in nature and yet when a dynamic drive unit attempts to reproduce a range of frequencies from a recording, the laws of physics dictate that the moving mass of the drive unit will always reproduce sound with some delay. This is an unavoidable design limitation of all dynamic drive unit designs today. However these physical laws can be observed and used as a guide to optimise the dynamic drive unit design. By introducing light and stiff materials to reduce mass, powerful rare-earth magnets to increase power and control, highly optimised structural design to maximise the unique properties of each material and form within the structure, the Tactic II drive unit is a near optimal dynamic drive unit design.
