Angelique silver/gold alloy

The Angelique alloys were created out of a clear intention: The warmth and substance of pure copper metallity should be combined with the properties of the silver-gold world — bright timbres, liveliness and great transparency — to form a new, independent synthesis. This synthesis was implemented with two focal points: the first focus, the Angelique copper, and the second focus, the Angelique silver/gold alloy.

The Angelique concept always relies on the triad of copper-silver-gold — with different focal points depending on the application. A silver-gold alloy can also win as a starting point by using the Angelique concept: Silver provides high conductivity and finely structured signal routing: Currents can flow with minimal ohmic loss and low 1/f noise, the slightest changes in level are precisely reflected — especially in the high-frequency range and With fine, quiet signals. In the background, gold acts as a diffusion brake and interface stabilizer. Even a small amount of gold ensures that the microstructure on grain boundaries and metal surfaces changes more slowly. The metal surface ages less, diffusion processes are more controlled, and local inhomogeneities in the metal grid are smoothed out.

From this basis, Angelique silver/gold goes one step further: The Angelique logic not only uses gold to stabilize the interface, but also weaves a new foundation of warmth and familiarity into the radiantly lively silver-gold sound world through the use of copper in the background. The aim is to expand the lively, colorful and high-resolution sound world of silver-gold metallization with a soft, supporting foundation that gives the sound image a particular self-evident appearance — grounded, without darkening.

By precisely coordinating the mixing ratio, grain structure and process parameters, this creates a new alloy with its own Angelique-Ag/Au profile:

It preserves the transparency, fine resolution and richness of colors of a combination of silver and gold.

In addition, she adds a stable foundation of warmth and familiarity in the background, which grounds the playback without obscuring it.

It shows smooth micro-noise and at the same time lively modulation behavior, which leads to a very dense yet relaxed sound presentation, especially in demanding audiophile applications.

The exact composition and process control of this Angelique silver/gold metallization is part of Mundorf's patented expertise and the result of extensive series of tests for fine-tuning the sound.

Sound effects

• At the same time, the music is highly transparent, joyfully rich in colors and nuances, and emotionally moving; structure (silver) and expression (gold) can be experienced with the same clarity and are warmed up by copper.
• The stage is dense, quiet and deep — you have the feeling of immersing yourself in a coherent, lively sound space instead of just sitting in front of a stage.
• The colorful, lively world of silver-gold metallization is given a new foundation of warmth and familiarity in the background.
• The finest microdetails remain stable without nervousness; textures appear dense and relaxed at the same time.
• Suitable for long-term use with the highest resolution: high presence without hardness, color without disorder.
• Voices are not only correct, but essential: you can hear intention, attitude and emotional tension in the presentation.
• The sound connects the listener directly to the soul of the music: clarity, color and inner warmth merge in such a way that the spirit of making music is palpable — not as an effect, but as a direct immersion in the artistic intention.
