The FIRTEC™ equalization method we utilize, was developed and perfected by us in
the nineties. Since then it has been implemented very successfully in professional
studio monitoring systems in very different and famous users, including Herbert
Grönemeyer, Xavier Naidoo, Stevie Wonder, Semper Opera Dresden, Schauspiel Frankfurt
and many radio stations in Germany and abroad. The DA and AD converters we utilize
are state of the art and their dynamic range is much larger than required. Utilizing a
special gain stacking method, we reach a resolution of 27 bit, thereby not only surpassing
the signal-to-noise ratio of analogue technology but it also offers sufficient headroom to
control overloading. In the bass range, the unsurpassed DMC™ control ensures in an
analogue way that the musical reproduction is exact. The combination of digital signal
processing and DMC™ control makes an exact linearization of amount and phase
possible. The Line-Master effectively has a
phase characteristic of 0° or, expressed in musical terms: all frequencies exit the
speaker at the same time! Naturally, any individual room-specific or installation dependent
adjustments to the frequency characteristics can be made at any time.
- in the area of sound radiation behavior, utilizing the recently developed NEXT™
technology:
A newly designed element that irradiates cylindrical waves is responsible in the Line-
Master for the emission of mid/high range frequencies from 800Hz and upwards. A
cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Mathematics in Kaiserslautern,
Germany has permitted us to develop a slit shaped emitter of the highest quality with
an extremely powerful "motor". The acoustic energy of a cylindrical wave field decreases
by 3dB for every doubling of the distance as opposed to the 6dB of a spherical wave.
In this way, the near field of the Line-Master extends to listening areas at otherwise too
greater a distance. On top of this, the sound is emitted directionally, resulting in fewer
reflections from walls and ceilings and more direct sound, giving a much more exact
reproduction with defined impulses and differentiated sound.
