DOES THE RIBBON WORK?
A tissue-thin foil ribbon is suspended in a magnetic field. This ribbon conducts a 'current sheet' that varies with the magnitude and frequency of the music to be reproduced. In essence, the magnetic field and current in the ribbon interact to produce a uniform force resulting in musical output, The unique way in which the ribbons are suspended and the geometric structure surrounding the ribbons contribute to the remarkable response time and the quality and precision of sound replication in an Apogee loudspeaker. Our transducers are specifically calibrated to perform smoothly and uniformly within a frequency range that covers the sound spectrum generated by musical instruments or heard by the human ear.
Apogee full-range loudspeaker systems feature an outstanding three-dimensional sound stage with exceptionally fine acoustical detail, articulate frequency response and a rise time that parallels the fastest amplifiers. The clarity, speed and power with which these loudspeakers deliver source material provide amazingly precise imaging and create a uniquely convincing experience.
Apogee loudspeakers will easily accommodate low notes from such demanding sources as compact and laser discs, 'audiophile" recordings and master tapes. Our transducers reach deeply into the bass to obtain realistic, low-frequency definition. Apogee's full-range loudspeaker systems handle instruments difficult to reproduce such as the piano, the organ, the human voice and dynamic sound effects
Apogee's transducers do not lose their shape or deteriorate over time. This insures precise reproduction of sound and uncompromising performance for many years.
'Music is reproduced on a grand scale with effortless extended and powerful bass, well suited to my largest listening room. This was unquestionably true hi-end, transparent, focused, spacious, dynamic, and excellently founded ...
