Flagskibet fra Firenze, Rosso Fiorentino Florentia er en fascinerende højttaler som indeholder det hele; store enheder, aktive subwoofere, åben baffel, superdiskant og masser af kæmpestor lyd.
Med to aktive 12" basser nås de laveste frekvenser omkring 20 Hz og åben baffel til to mellemtoner, to soft dome diskanter og en superdiskant, nås det yderste spænd man kan tænke sig.
En naturlig og ren lyd med enormt frekvensområde. Rosso Fiorentino har overgået sig selv. Dette er tæt på en livekoncert!
The Flagship series introduces our masterpieces, the toughest challenges
we decided to take on in loudspeaker design.In a field still full
of conservatism and mostly curve-shaped designs, the Florentia stand up like a
modern architectural monument. Its physical presence and the strength of its
straight and angled lines convey a great sense of power and dynamism which is,
however, balanced by its precious material and construction details which reveal
its noble and refined character.
Modular system
The
Florentia is made up of three separate modules. The upper and lower sealed
sections house respectively the mid-bass and bass drive units, while the middle
open baffle section contains the midrange and treble drive units and the
crossover.
Lower module
The emotional body feeling experience of music
typical of certain rock/pop live performances or the real and embracing sonic
presence of a classic orchestra can only be faithfully reproduced starting from
the very low frequency range. In the Florentia, 2 x 12 inch proprietary
subwoofers are housed in the lower sealed section, covering sub-bass range to
below 20 Hz.
The box incorporate an extensive bracing making use materials
with diffrent mechanical properties so as to drastically reduces structure
vibrations.
These impressive ‘made in Italy’ transducers are the result
of a design partnership with one of the leading international driver
manufacturers, B&C speakers. They make use of a powerful, vented full neodymium
magnet system and are especially designed to easily handle extremely high
excursions and very low air compression.
Middle module
Two midrange
drive units, one soft-dome tweeter and one ribbon ultrasonic generator are
integrated into the solid, CNC-machined aluminium-hdf sandwich middle panel
which is also sculpted to reduce diffraction to minimal levels. The midrange
units operate in a special open baffle structure which eliminates the typical
resonant problems that hamper most midrange enclosures causing the sound to take
on a coloration.
The top and bottom panels of the open baffle module are
designed at different angles to the speakers and padded with absorbent material
in order to reduce resonances at mid range frequencies. The back of the middle
panel is designed to reduce diffraction at mid frequency to minimal levels. The
result, together with the open baffle system, is a natural and clear sound with
excellent depth and open soundstage performance.
Crossover
Placed
inside and at the back of the middle module, the crossover, the ‘heart’ of the
system, consists of three separate well-aired sections. This multi level
structure is entirely hand-wired using audiophile grade components from well
known specialized companies together with some of our special custom made
elements. A set of fine tuning controls are also present to allow the output of
the relative sections to be increased or decreased in order to compensate for
the different acoustic characteristic of the listening rooms.
Tweeter
and supertweeter
Regarding the high frequency range, even the most demanding
recordings will be faithfully reproduced with all musical details thanks to the
match between the tweeter and our own supertweeter which complement each other
with their frequency ranges and sound dispersion characteristics to achieve an
absolutely homogenous and ‘three dimensional’ reproduction.
Upper module
The upper module houses a customized 10 inch woofer which features an extreme
coil excursion with low distortion and excellent transient response. This very
balanced engineered driver covers frequencies from around 60Hz up to 200Hz where
fundamentals of a lot of acoustics instruments reside. Its placement on top of
the other elements drastically reduces the first floor reflection thanks also to
the use of a controlled dispersion pattern crossover design.
This
section, like the others, is decoupled by the use of rubber inserts in order to
reduce the transmission of vibrations and the interferences between each module.
The internal bracing structure together with very low cabinet losses led this
box to have a considerable QTC value of 0.71.
