Launch January 2006
i - improvements:• 3 finishes
– Calvados, Maple, Black
• Bullet-Speaker Terminals– Improved handling and contact
• Sound Improvements– Crossover– Woofer– Cabinet
The 3 Finishes
MS Avant 904i, 906i and 908i
Maple Black Calvados
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
High quality internal wiring
DVPC Dual Value Parallel Capacitors
second order filters on the tweeter path
Crossover Details
• Air core InductorsLossless 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).
Sound benefits are accurate pistonic operation and hence less non-linear distortion.
… and the outside is thinner/softer!
Touch it – feel it!The inside of the
surround is thicker…
Improvements on the Cabinet
Additional bracing – especially on the front
panel
New sound optimized damping material
