Audio Physic CARDEAS RQ
The new generation of CARDEAS – technological innovation, redefined
What does true innovation mean?
With the new CARDEAS RQ, we are taking precisely this step: It represents the very best of four decades of research – while at the same time marking a radical new beginning. A loudspeaker that opens up new sonic horizons and sets new technological standards.
A State-of-the-Art Cabinet Construction – Sound in Complete Serenity
The foundation is an elaborately engineered multi-sandwich cabinet with an asymmetric design. Inside, a high-strength honeycomb core combined with multiplex provides maximum rigidity, while an outer shell made of a glass-elastomer composite ensures exceptional internal damping. This unique structure effectively minimizes cabinet resonances – creating the perfect foundation for pure, uncolored sound.
A New Generation of Drivers with New Materials and Possibilities
The new CARDEAS also sets new standards in terms of sound: all drivers – from the tweeter to the mid/bass drivers – have been completely redesigned. Of particular note is the newly developed diaphragm material: a special carbon-matrix fabric (RECOTec) that combines extreme rigidity with high internal damping – for maximum precision, impressive dynamics and exceptional transparency.
The new generation of drivers delivers impressive performance not only at high listening levels. Even at very low volumes, the CARDEAS remains exceptionally detailed and highly resolved. The finest information, spatial details and dynamic nuances remain clearly and distinctly audible even during quiet passages. At the same time, the new technology significantly expands the dynamic range of the CARDEAS: from the quietest musical moments to powerful, dynamic passages, reproduction remains precise, controlled and effortless.
The result is an exceptionally broad musical dynamic range, in which music can be experienced not only loudly and powerfully, but equally quietly, delicately and intimately.
Adaptability Without Compromise – with Q-SET
Another key feature of the new CARDEAS is its uncompromising adaptability to the listening room. Switches on the rear panel allow the damping characteristics of the woofers and mid/bass drivers to be adjusted in two stages. We call this feature Q-SET (Bass Adjustment). This allows the loudspeaker to be precisely adapted to placement close to walls or in corners – without any significant change in impedance.
This is made possible by the use of specially arranged and designed dual voice coils in the woofers and mid/bass drivers – a technology that is unique in this form to date.
A Loudspeaker That Opens Up New Sonic Dimensions
Imagine a soundstage that is open in every direction. One that offers both limitless spaciousness and pinpoint focus. A loudspeaker that reveals even the finest musical information at low listening levels, while at the same time having enough dynamic headroom to reproduce the greatest musical peaks with complete authority.
With the new CARDEAS RQ, you experience music across an exceptionally wide dynamic range – from the quietest nuances to the most powerful climax. Throughout, reproduction remains transparent, precise and immediate.
An intensity that cannot be explained, but only experienced – immediate, honest, alive.
