Q10
Q10
Originally designed for professional use, the Q10 was conceived as a monitor capable of capturing—or rather recreating—the entire recorded event with accuracy in timbre, timing and space. Achieving this is not a matter of adding subjectively pleasing qualities. A colouration remains a colouration, however attractive it may be, and our aim is not to add anything of our own.
The bass driver helps produce rock-solid bass down to 30 Hz, and the key factor is the long and linear stroke, and even more so the incredible pressure factor, exceeding that of a typical 15″ driver by a factor of more than three.
The choice of membrane is essential to both midrange quality and lateral inter-driver integration. The mineral fibre membrane of the Guru B59mf driver assures a perfectly controlled behaviour in its entire working range, and it also adds an essential part of the stereo system compensation above its nominal working range.
Timbrally and dynamically accurate sound reproduction in time and space is all about adapting to the listening room properties and avoiding and/or compensating for the inherent flaws of the stereo system – all done with respect to our hearing properties. Or in other words – allowing for the natural musical colours in the recording to emerge freely.
