Lohengrin Upgrade
If you own an original pair of Lohengrin loudspeakers, they can be upgraded to the Lohengrin II.
The Lohengrin II uses a superb and proprietary Verity Audio resonance free, pure aluminum ribbon tweeter. This new Verity ribbon tweeter incorporates a custom-wound, high-purity, impedance matching transformer that exhibits very low resistive and inductive losses. In fact, our research has shown that, due to the low impedance characteristic of a pure ribbon aluminum foil, overall circuit losses in the driver become much more critical than in other designs. Our unique design ensures there are no such losses through a clever short signal path that is implemented in a non-inductive environment. In sonic terms, this feature alone conveys an astonishing level of high-frequency purity without memory distortion, however many other design elements of the driver, from optimally focusing the magnetic-field in the gap, through designing the rear chamber to properly address the rear-wave of the ribbon, make this exclusive pure ribbon one of, if not the absolute best, tweeters ever developed.
As much it would have been easy if the new tweeter could simply have been installed in the original Lohengrin without much work to gain the benefits of its sublime performance, getting the entire loudspeaker to homogeneously integrate all those excellent components in a matter to form a perfect balance asked for an overall design revisiting.
The upgrade consists of the following changes/upgrades:
- New Verity Audio pure aluminum ribbon tweeter;
- Replacement of the 8-inch (20 cm) mid-bass driver for a new 9-inch (23 cm) mid-bass driver;
- All new state-of-the-art internal wiring;
- New woofer crossover;
- New midrange / high-frequency crossover;
- Modification of the inner acoustical airflow system;
- New top cabinet sealed cabinet tuning;
- New jumper wires;
- New damped aluminum isolating platform;
