Compact and powerful, Sopra N°1 is a concentration of technological innovation. It features "NIC" magnetic circuit, TDM"" surrounds for the midrange woofer and Infinite Horn Loading (IHL) of the tweeter. It is a true "demonstrator", corroborating the contribution of the new technologies implemented on Sopra.First, the very low distortion gives it incredible clarity and very high definition combined with the spectacular spatialisation typical of bookshelf loudspeakers... Beyond this attractive first impression, what's astonishing is the texture and smoothness of its sound. It provides a solid, "fleshy" sound with full and articulated bass. Precious is by no means artificial, nor is the limited to the treble. The overall coherence and harmonic richness gives the listener a surprising understanding of the music. The Sopra line is destined for the most passionate sound enthusiasts. Its design favours performance, whilst bringing together the qualities expected of an object which will be integrated into very elegant interiors and décors. Lacquered or bloodwood finishes are associated to noble materials to create an elegant line. Substantial efforts were made to give the front a tidy appearance, particularly around the speaker drivers, to iron out any aspects which could afflict the acoustics or the appearance. Ideal for small rooms up to 270ft2 (25m2), Sopra n°1 is also ideal for spaces up to 550ft2 (50m2). Providing high sensitivity and excellent power handling, Sopra N°1 is a true little monitor for the home. Sopra N°1 is supplied with a special stand which has been designed to expel interfering vibrations from the enclosure towards the floor to avoid any colouration. The steel frame inside the floorstander, coupled with the 03⁄4" (19mm) thick glass base using four adjustable stainless steel spikes, provides very high transmission speeds. This is what guarantees an extremely sharp reproduction.NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit)Since the beginning, we have always had a great interest in the magnetic circuit, an essential aspect of a speaker drive unit. The precision and detail of audio reproduction depends on the stability of the magnetic field. After having pushed back the limits in electromagnetic technology with the Grande Utopia EM and the Stella Utopia EM, our engineer discovered that the magnetic field varies regardless of its intensity. Indeed, it is not stable because it is modulated by three factors: the movement of the voice coil (Lenz's law), the current passing through it (Foucault current) and the frequency. Consequently, the voice coil, the moving part, is in the magnetic field which becomes too variable, and this leads to loss of precision.The NIC technology lies in a Faraday ring whose dimensions, materials and positioning we were able to optimise to make the magnetic field be no longer affected by the position of the voice coil, by the amperage or the frequency of the current passing through it. This solution permits to control the magnetic field to decrease the effects of distortion and give the sound a very high-definition and an unprecedented dynamic.TMD (Tuned Mass Damper)The midrange register is no doubt the most complicated to control in a sound system.Thanks to the power of finite element analysis, our teams have revealed resonances which alter definition in the suspension which connects the cone to the basketThe solutions already known for increasing the damping properties of the suspension all result in an increase of the mass which consequently alters definition. The answer came from a technology used in earthquake-resistant skyscrapers and which is also used for the suspension on racing cars. This technology is called a " Tuned MAss Damper" : an additional mass oscillates in opposition to the resonance frequency to control it.Our Tuned Mass Damper consists in simply two tubular rings on the suspension to avoid deformation of the cone without afflicting the dynamics. It reduces drastically the distortion and increase the definition.IHL (Infinite Horn Loading)Our Beryllium tweeter features an incredibly light and extremely rigid dome, that deliver a transparent and dynamic sound. Its main limitation comes from the compression of air in the cavity behind it, that create interference with the incredible definition. To overcome this, the ideal would be to have a nearly infinite volume. But the requirement for Sopra to be compact meant that as much of the cabinet as possible had to be used for the bass. We had to explore other options for loading the tweeter, which led us to come up with the IHL system.The rear of the Beryllium tweeter is loaded via a small cavity which is connected to the exterior of the enclosure by a horn. whom inside is filled with a damping material. Sound waves from the rear of the tweeter are delicately and gradually absorbed. Its acoustic impedance approaches zero so that no resistance alters the movement of the dome. This reduces distortion by 30% and pushes definition to its maximum.
The speakers AE1 Classic from the company Acoustic Energy Characterized as bookshelf speakers because they are placed on a shelf or special base, which is sold separately. In this category usually belong the main speakers of a sound system, but due to their small size they can also be used as peripherals for better sound simulation. The power and impedance of them are 200W RMS and 8Ω respectively, which means they can be connected to an amplifier with the corresponding characteristics.
AE1 ActiveThe changing roles of hifi equipment mean that audio systems themselves are changing shape. The increasing number of products withintegrated pre-amplifiers mean that many customers are searching for an equally convenient speaker to connect them to. Taking fulladvantage of Acoustic Energy’s considerable experience in the field of active speakers, the AE1 Active is designed to deliver thisconvenience without trading performance.

The Denon SC-M41 are two-way bass reflex bookshelf speakers, designed to partner the RCD-M41 CD receiver. They offer clean, balanced sound in compact dimensions and are sold as a pair.Small speakers, big soundDenon designed the SC-M41 as the natural partner for the RCD-M41 CD receiver, so that together they form a compact, complete stereo system. The goal was clear: speakers that fit on a shelf or a desk yet make no compromises in the quality of the sound they deliver, whatever kind of music you enjoy.Compact dimensionsAt just 145 mm wide and 238 mm tall, the SC-M41 sits easily on shelves, TV units or a work desk. Its discreet presence leaves your space free while the music fills the room from corner to corner.Bass reflex cabinetThe cabinet uses a bass reflex design, which puts the air inside the enclosure to work to extend low-frequency performance. Bass therefore sounds deeper and fuller than you would expect from a speaker of this size.Classic appearanceThe clean, timeless design of the SC-M41 suits every style of décor, from a modern apartment to a more traditional living room. Next to the RCD-M41 it creates a coherent set with a unified look.A pair ready to useThe SC-M41 comes as a stereo pair, so you immediately have everything you need for proper stereo listening. Connect them to your amplifier and the music is ready to start, with no complicated set-up required.Flexible positioningWith a depth of 234 mm, the SC-M41 fits on most bookshelves, and it can also be placed on floor stands. That flexibility lets you adapt the speakers to the layout of your room without difficulty, wherever your amplifier happens to sit.Carefully executed two-way designA speaker’s performance depends on how well its drivers work together and on the quality of the filter that divides the frequencies between them. For the SC-M41, Denon chose a proven two-way architecture and executed it with care, to deliver balanced sound across the entire spectrum at any listening level.12 cm wooferThe 12 cm bass and midrange driver handles the low end and vocals. It reproduces the instruments and voices at the heart of every recording with body and clarity, without blurring the fine details.2.5 cm soft dome tweeterHigh frequencies come from a 2.5 cm soft dome tweeter. The soft dome provides smooth, detailed treble that never becomes tiring, even during long evening listening sessions with your favourite records.Selected crossover componentsThe crossover circuit is built with carefully selected components so that the hand-over from woofer to tweeter is smooth. The stereo image stays coherent and well focused.Wide frequency responseThe frequency response extends from 45 Hz to 40 kHz, a range that comfortably covers both the low end and the most delicate harmonics of every instrument, so nothing important in the music is lost.Balance at any volumeThe way the two drivers and the crossover work together gives a sound that keeps its balance at low volume, for relaxed background listening, and also when you turn it up to enjoy your favourite album properly on a weekend afternoon.The ideal match for your systemThe SC-M41 performs best when paired with an amplifier designed to the same philosophy. Even so, its electrical characteristics make it friendly to many amplifiers and micro systems, so it is a dependable choice for any compact hi-fi system in the home, whether new or one you already own.Designed for the RCD-M41Denon developed the SC-M41 alongside the RCD-M41 CD receiver. Its impedance and power handling are an ideal match for that amplifier, for a system that sounds balanced from the very first moment, with no need to experiment with different combinations of equipment.6 ohm impedanceWith a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, the SC-M41 works with most stereo amplifiers and receivers. Power handling reaches 60 W to IEC and 120 W on short-term peaks.Placement in the roomFor best results, place the speakers at ear height and at equal distances from your listening position. Because of the bass reflex design, leave a little space from the rear wall for cleaner, tighter bass.For every roomIn a bedroom, a study or a small living room, the SC-M41 delivers rich, clear sound without dominating the space. It is a simple, high-quality solution for anyone who wants good sound without unnecessary complexity.The D-M41 setTogether with the RCD-M41, the SC-M41 forms Denon’s D-M41 micro system. The combination offers CD, radio, Bluetooth and digital inputs for your TV, in a set where each part brings out the best in the other.

The Musical Fidelity LS5/9 is a two-way bass reflex speaker which was designed to reproduce sound at high levels to fulfil the complete range of music genres from classical to pop music. As the speaker was originally designed for recording studio applications, a low level of coloration was the goal to keep the musicitself untouched.The bass reflex principle allows the speaker to reach a higher sound pressure. The LS5/9 is truly honest and brings the music to you exactly like the mixing engineer wanted it to sound. The speaker also gives you the possibility to adjust the high-frequency level by resistor jumps to fit your listening preferences.Built to suit every musical genreThe LS5/9 became an industry standard for music studios, because it was the go-to solution for every genre. That is also the reason it gained more and more popularity also in living rooms. It is able to deliver high sound pressure levels with low colouration and powerful bass. The music stays controlled all the time and the LS5/9 never seems to be over strained. Especially, the stereo center is well-defined and vocals stay natural. Also, the stereo information of instruments is clear, and the sound stage does not feel synthetic at any time.The LS5/9 was produced by several speaker manufacturers over many decades already, and we are happy to include this special speaker in our Musical Fidelity range.The Musical Fidelity LS5/9 was manufactured according to the BBC R&D design 1983/10.The LS5/9 In BriefTwo way, bass reflex typeNominal Impedance: 8 OhmsSensitivity: 89dB/W/MManufactured according to the BBC R&D design 1983/10For mid/farfield listening distancesDesigned for low level of colouration that keeps the music untouchedBass reflex allows the speaker to reach higher sound pressure levelsHigh sound pressure levels with low colouration and powerful bassExtremely controlled music reproduction, the LS5/9 never seems to be over strainedTruly extraordinary sound stage and imaging with a well defined and articulate center imagePerfect combination with bigger Musical Fidelity amplifiers like the M5si, M6si, M6si500Astonishingly clear, detailed, honest and warm sound stage
The OPTICON 2 MK2 is a mid-sized stand mount speaker for compact to medium size listening spaces where it has room to breathe and deliver its dynamic and explicitly defined performance.A true 2-way performerThe mid-sized OPTICON 2 MK2 builds on the impressive MK1 series to create a true 2-way compact performer. Designed for small to medium-sized rooms, this high-performance stand mount speaker includes our signature wood fibre cone and patented low-loss SMC magnet system, delivering low distortion, minimal colouration and high power handling. The OPTICON 2 MK2 is fully assembled at our production facilities in Denmark using components produced in-house or sourced from the best local specialist manufacturers and further afield.Bringing port design into the realm of aerodynamicsAs a reflex-loaded speaker, the OPTICON 2 MK2 channels unused acoustic output generated by the woofer to extend low-frequency bandwidth and increase power handling. Using a dual flare shape that minimises turbulence at the entry and exit flares, the OPTICON 2 MK2 brings port design into the realm of aerodynamics.Reducing distortion with Soft Magnetic CompoundThe OPTICON 2 MK2 driver magnet system consists of a large ferrite ring magnet surrounding a pole-piece manufactured entirely of the unique DALI SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) material. The use of SMC greatly reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents, resulting in a drastic reduction in third-order distortion for extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing.An oversized tweeter for better performanceThe lightweight 29 mm soft dome tweeter is derived from our CALLISTO C series and offers significant advances over the tweeters used in the OPTICON MK1 series. The relatively small increase in diameter over the previous 28 mm tweeter results in lower distortion, higher power handling and extended low-frequency response. The 29 mm tweeter is also used throughout the OPTICON MK2 series for consistent tonal character and dispersion characteristics, for example in a multichannel surround setup.Low loss, low distortion and low colourationThe 6½" OPTICON 2 MK2 bass/midrange driver has been designed according to our sound design principles of low loss, low distortion and low colouration. The ideal driver plays only what the amplifier supplies... nothing is added, nothing is taken away. Every OPTICON 2 MK2 component is carefully designed to contribute towards this goal, including the paper pulp and wood fibre cone, which ensures minimal break-up resonance for a high resolution midrange and precise, coherent bass.Ensuring the highest quality productsWith a 25 mm thick front baffle and extra internal bracing, the OPTICON 2 MK2 cabinet is extremely rigid and practically eliminates panel resonance. To ensure the best possible quality product, we manufacture and test OPTICON MK2 series speakers at our production facilities in central Denmark, carrying out everything from cutting and routing of the wood laminate panels to installing the drivers and crossover.
