EXPOSURE CHOOSES BRISTOL HI-FI SHOW TO LAUNCH XM CD PLAYER AND PREVIEW VXN CROSSOVER
Kudos Audio has worked closely with industry leaders Linn and Devialet since 2015 to bring the incredible performance of Linn’s Exakt and Devialet’s Expert technology right to the very heart of Kudos’ top-of-range loudspeakers, using active digital amplification.
Kudos has now announced its partnership with British brand Exposure Electronics.
Exposure’s brand new VXN crossover enables active analogue amplification. Furthermore, it can be applied not only to Exposure’s award-winning electronics but potentially to any pre/power amplifier combination. Great news for everyone, then.
In an active system, rather than the usual scenario of one power amplifier channel per loudspeaker, there is one power amplifier per drive unit. So, in this case, in a 2-way loudspeaker design there would effectively be four amplifiers driving the speakers, and in a 3-way design, six amps.
The new VXN crossover, which has its own separate, linear power supply, by-passes the loudspeakers’ internal crossovers and connects between the preamplifier and the power amplifier(s). The result is superior control, grip and dynamics.
Additionally, Exposure will be launching their new XM top-loading CD player.
Join Exposure in room 212 to hear a very special prototype preview of the new VXN analogue active crossover, with the Kudos Titan 606 loudspeaker.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
