Air coils

Air coils are the uncompromising reference: maximally linear, without distortions caused by the core. They deliver maximum impulse fidelity and particularly natural, open playback. If space and a sufficiently low DC resistance are possible, air is the first choice.

OFC Copper

• Purity: at least 99.995% Cu, often 99.999% (4N) or higher
• Feature: almost oxygen-free (typically <10 ppm)
• Result: more stable grain boundaries, less oxide formation, more uniform electron flow

Round Wire

Round wire coils are the tried and tested standard design: A solid conductor is formed into a winding and provides an easily calculable inductance. In terms of sound, DC resistance (R_DC) is decisive here because it directly influences efficiency and control — especially in the bass range.

Tight Tolerances

Tight tolerances in capacitance, inductance, and resistance ensure that capacitors of one type are very close together in terms of their electrical properties. In crossovers, the left and right channels therefore work virtually identically: crossover frequencies, level ratios and phase positions match closely. This is the basis for stable, precise stereo imaging and reproducible results — in series production and also after service.

Tonal Effects

• precise, stable soundstage without drifting
• Coherent overall impression: left and right channels fuse into a single, seamless whole
• characteristic sound is reliably retained even after component replacement/repair
• More stable virtual center and clearer spatial layering
