The 3 Finishes

MS Avant 904i, 906i and 908i

Maple Black Calvados

The New Finish: Calvados

The new finish is called „Calvados“. This is a very modern and elegant look for a loudspeaker and fits very well with today‘s style of interior.

For those who like the more conservative designs we continue ‚Maple‘ and ‚Black‘.

Unbelievable but true:

It’s a foil finish…

The Bullet-Speaker Terminal

As known from our Performance speaker we implemented the new Bullet Speaker-Terminal in our Avant i-Serie.

These terminals allow the use of banana plugs and offer an extremely tight connection to spades or on bare wires.

Even the Bi-Wiring-bridges are optimized to offer improved sound quality.

The Crossover-Design

air core inductors

High quality internal wiring

DVPC Dual Value Parallel Capacitors

second order filters on the tweeter path

Crossover Details

• Air core InductorsLossless open and effortless sound.

• Second Order Filter – Improved smooth detailed treble due to optimized phase

behavior.

• Internal Wiring– The high performance internal wiring ensures that every sound

detail reaches the transducer and isn‘t lost on it‘s way.

• DVPC (2 parallel foil capacitors )– This special technique improves the dynamic behavior of our

high grade foil capacitors further.

V-Form-Technology

Further research on our well known CPC drivers resulted in a novel design of the driver cone connection. The surround thickness varies from inside to outside.

(e.g. V-form).

Sound benefits are accurate pistonic operation and hence less non-linear distortion.

… and the outside is thinner/softer!

Touch it – feel it!The inside of the

surround is thicker…

Improvements on the Cabinet

Additional bracing – especially on the front
