The New “Avant 900 I” – Serie Launch January 2006

i - improvements:

• 3 finishes – Calvados, Maple, Black • Bullet-Speaker Terminals – Improved handling and contact • Sound Improvements – Crossover – Woofer – Cabinet

Maple

The 3 Finishes

Black Calvados MS Avant 904i, 906i and 908i

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 second order filters on the tweeter path High quality internal wiring DVPC Dual Value Parallel Capacitors

Crossover Details

• Air core Inductors Lossless 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).

Touch it – feel it!

The inside of the surround is thicker… Sound benefits are accurate pistonic operation and hence less non-linear distortion.

… and the outside is thinner/softer!

Improvements on the Cabinet

Additional bracing panel – especially on the front New sound optimized damping material As before on Avant 900: Magnetic shielding of the drive units
