You'll never guess what a roundabout has in common with an SA speaker

Imagine that youou are driving from Copenhagen towards Roskilde to visit System Audio.
You turn off at Trekroner and now have 5 km to go.

 

Straight ahead.
You have to drive 5 km straight ahead.

 

You think that the last 5 km will only take 2 minutes to drive.
But it doesn't.

 

It takes 10 minutes.
10 minutes that feel like hours.

 

The secret to the incredibly slow 5 km is:
4 roundabouts.

 

Roskilde Municipality has placed 4 roundabouts on the road to slow down cars.

 

Here's the point.

 

 

Sound killers: large induction coils in speaker crossovers stifle music

 

Because this is about speakers.
Or rather. The crossover filter in loudspeakers.

 

People who hear our speakers quickly notice that the sound is clear and precise.
And they ask: How can that be?
Why does the music sound so alive?

 

The answer is simple, as long as you know something about roundabouts.

 

Inside the SA speakers there is a crossover filter, as there is in all speakers.
But here it is different.

 

We have succeeded in developing a simple crossover filter without the large coils you normally find in such a filter.

 

Coils have one serious drawback:
They get in the way of music, like a roundabout gets in the way of traffic.

 

The coils dull the music.
They stifle the dynamics of the music.

 

That's why it's a real novelty that we develop crossovers without big coils.
The music goes straight out all the way through the speaker.

 

The road is shorter and the music sounds better.

 

In SA saxo 70, for example, we reduce the travel of the music inside the speaker by as much as 17 meters compared to a regular speaker.
