ABOUT ANIMA

Płytki frontowe
Pierwszym detalem, który przykuwa uwagę są płytki frontowe z materiału Bello Opal. To niekwestionowany król pośród opali syntetycznych. Niesamowicie skomplikowany i precyzyjny proces laboratoryjny pozwala na uzyskanie hipnotyzującej gry kolorów, niespotykanej w przypadku żadnego innego materiału. Opale syntetyczne są fizycznie niemal identyczne z tymi występującymi naturalnie, stąd też ich rosnąca światowa popularność w przemyśle jubilerskim, zegarkowym i wielu innych. Każda płytka jest inna. Skrząc się kryształami w unikalnych rozmiarach i kształtach.

Duch Animy uchwycony w niekończącej się grze kolorów...

Tulejki
Another thing your sharp eyes will notice are the nozzles. They’re unlike any others. Think of them as crucial elements between the drivers and your eardrums, like a tiny room housing your speakers.

Przyjrzyjmy się bliżej obu tym aspektom.

Geometria
After dozens of simulations and prototypes, based on our VariBore™ technology, we finally came up with the Organic Horn Nozzle™. The gradual change in the shape ensures matching impedance and suppresses the resonances you get with traditional straight-tube models.

Jak mawia stare powiedzenie: "diabeł tkwi w szczegółach"...

MATERIAŁ
Unlikely it’s universal version the nozzles are crafted in acrylic. This might make highs slightly warmer but in many cases is balanced by statistically deeper insertion of custom nozzles.

Sorry… did we not mention the nozzles are precisely handcarved?

ORGANIC HORN NOZZLE
Look a little closer, and you’ll notice precisely selected areas where signals from different groups of drivers are added to the sound mixture.First come the ultra-high frequencies, provided by electrostatic drivers. Ultra-high frequencies pass through the nozzle in the shortest, most efficient way possible. The ultra-highs are joined by mid and high frequencies, dispersed precisely by the extraordinary horn geometry. Last but not least come the lows, sub-lows and infra-subs, delivering their powerful impact via the narrowest bore.

Magia jest w połączeniu...

HYBRID LOW-END TECHNOLOGY
After long conversations with audiophiles worldwide and dozens of trials utilizing both balanced armature and dynamic drivers for low end, we came up with an idea: what if we took the punch and clarity of Balanced Armature subwoofers and perfectly combined them with the weight and low-end rumble produced by our 7mm Titanium-Diaphragm Dynamic Driver?Without a carefully designed crossover, it wouldn’t be possible to ensure the phase coherence that bridges these two technical worlds.
We called it BADD™ Hybrid Low-End Technology.

Can we call this a perfect match?

ULTRAHIGH TWEETER TECHNOLOGY
Electrostatic tweeters are animals that need to be properly tamed. We went with ultra-high quad drivers to ensure maximum output in the highest part of the spectrum, maintaining the lowest possible distortion. The remaining drivers are coupled with a high-impedance crossover section to make the ultra-high frequencies run in optimal conditions. That is why Anima would greatly appreciate DAP or DAC with a little bit more headroom than your average smartphone.

Everything beauty needs is time and space for it to happen…

THE CABLE
Very important element: the cable. We chose graphene-coated silver-plated copper cable with a hundred and forty-four strands to maintain smoothness, detail, and extraordinary staging. It demonstrated ideal synergy with the sound of the Anima. This handmade work of art was further customized with crushed Bello Opal particles by the amazing artists at @vikingweavecables.

Sound crafted in every aspect.

THE CROSSOVER
We mentioned the crossover. Developed from the ground up, extremely complex yet causing zero complications for the signal. Perfectly matching drivers in tribrid technology. The crossover precisely splits electrical audio signals to produce the most pleasant and coherent sound right where it meets your eardrum.

Sometimes things must get very complicated. Only to become simple in the end.

THE MAKING
The extreme complexity of Anima required exceptional designing practices. This is where computer-aided design (CAD) and the state-of-the-art manufacturing process meet. Due to extreme complexity of internal structure we’re using combination of 3D printed subcomponents combined together manually to precisely fit every custom shell. Even the thinnest elements have to maintain their rigidity.  This is also why Anima comes in black only.

A fine example of a place where history meets the future.
