Resonator Technology

The new "pagode° Master Reference" is a further successful step in the well-established tradition of finite elemente in its efforts to achieve absolute sound quality. For the first time a hi-fi rack designer is using scientifically based arguments in its fight against sound-distorting resonances.

 

What is a "Resonator"?

Resonators are metal rods, where their natural frequency is tailored to the natural frequencies of the pagode Master Reference. The integration of these resonators clearly reduces vibration amplitudes excited by airborne or solidborne noise. A large part of the kinetic energy – up to 90% with self-excitation, and up to 70% with forced excitation – are converted silently into heat by the resonators. Each pagode model is fitted with a set of resonators determined individually in a measuring-engineering process.

Features

 

The pagode hi-fi rack system harmoniously combines unadulterated music reproduction and functionality. The ever-present problem of sound-influencing resonances has been solved without compromise using specially selected materials, efficient design and measuring engineering investigations.

Lightweight construction in conjunction with non-magnetic materials such as aluminium and solid Canadian maple wood form the basis of a modular system that results in a model range offering the widest range of combination possibilities. Three model variants, available in four heights and four widths, provide the perfect hi-fi rack for just about every conceivable application.

Spike, absorber and resonator technologies ensure a neutral resonance environment, where the audio components can demonstrate their sound capabilities without any restriction.

innovative resonator technology for effective resonance attenuation outstanding sound properties excellent finish high design quality available in 60 cm height with 2 or 3 levels or 85 cm/110 cm height with 4 or 5 levels Finishes: Canadian maple wood, natural or with black pearl structure, side uprights in anodized aluminium or with high-gloss polished finish.

The pagode° HD Master Reference displays its know-how in the design of high-quality hi-fi rack systems.
The attractive optics and the excellent finish represent only the external qualities.

The optional extra-wide design allows audio components to be placed next to each other which is a method suitable for living rooms, but without detracting from their actual purpose, namely the natural reproduction of music at the highest level.	Individual shelves provide best decoupling of the audio components placed hereon. Each shelf is adjustable in height and level.

Six resonator types (220 Hz, 486 Hz, 512 Hz, 550 Hz, 670 Hz and 882 Hz.) are distributed in two possible variations across the whole rack.

Each wooden frame is fitted with four resonators to ensure a linearised natural resonance behaviour. The coupling of the shelves is effected using height-adjustable cone-shaped spikes.
