2012-10-14
yeah so welcome to the zoo audio room today we're showing off a brand new product for us called Union it's a coax Driver based on a full range driver so it uses the nanotech cone high output motor but on this one we mount the tweeter right in the center and the tweeter comes in at 12 K so it's just a little bit of the sparkle on the top very efficient so you can run it with low power or it also is pretty high power handling so you can if you need to rock out it'll definitely take care of it Union it's 2 grand for a pair in addition to the Union we're also showing at the show our definition mark 4 which is twelve thousand seven hundred fully integrated from bottom all the way through the super tweeter 101 DB efficient it's a dome product as well and this one goes all the way down to 14 Hertz part of the sub assembly on that is this guy right here which is a 12 inch lab 12 from eminence and then we do all the machine work at house everything we do is made in Ogden Utah machining our drivers are paint our nanotech coatings you know pretty vertically integrated as well as we make our own cable assemblies and harnesses with our own planetary gear that we use so this sub assembly that comes out of the definition is also used in our brand new submission subwoofer and as you can see that's that's part of the assembly it's very similar in size to the definition but totally different cabinet on the inside it's it's a very clean subwoofer it goes down to 12 Hertz with authority for the amplification on this we mount all the electronics in a billet case that we also machine we use the hype ex UCD 400 amp module and it does have signal processing so it's got user controls in the back that allow you to adjust crossover volume phase infinitely and it also has parametric EQ and you can toggle that off so you can bypass that if you're doing outboard signal processing and then next to that is the under tone subwoofer which is 2 grand and same technology but we strip out the expensive spot bits so we don't have a billet case for the electronics we don't use the billet bass but it does use this same subwoofer and same hype ex amplifier so those are the four three new products that we have the fourth product that we're also showing here at the show is the Union cube which uses the same 10-inch the same 10-inch driver in our Union but puts it in a form factor that lets you put this on any bookshelf desktop car wherever you want to put the thing it's it's going to fit but it's also a very high fidelity product gets you down to about 50 Hertz so for you know real rock-and-roll you're still gonna need to make made it up with an undertone or some other subwoofer this guy is twelve hundred dollars for a pair that's about all we got going on for electronics at the show we're using Nelson passes new first wat si T amplifiers ten watts per channel very good sounding probably my favorite transistor amplifier a little on the expensive side but you know you get what you pay for value wise we have the peachtree deco 65 which is fully integrated it's got a DAC in it you can plug in your computer you can plug in a turntable with a phono stage and you're up and running so the system that we're listening to right now is a technics SL 1200 with an audio mods armed with a Zhu audio cartridge running into a knk phono stage and then into the Peachtree integrated if you want to hear it with the the first watt easy enough to switch out run it with the first watt the SI t ones and let you do some comparison but I appreciate you guys coming out and I hope you like what we do
