A unique combination of great sound, superior performance and incomparably majestic design Platine Noiree floor speakers are a superb stereo set, which may also constitute the backbone of a complete surround system. Platine Noiree combines the highest standard of design and sound quality without compromise.
Platine Noiree contains a series of patented and innovative technologies, and is made differently than any other speaker on the market. Access to advanced technology and manufacturing methods have enabled our engineers to combine exclusive cabinet materials, advanced crossover components and innovative drive units.
The result is Platine Noiree - an unparalleled line of speakers.
Luxury piano lacquer
Platine Noiree is clad in deep luxurious black piano lacquer. The elegant piano lacquer complements the sleek modern design and in a sculptural way adds finesse and exclusivity to your home. Platine Noiree - an experience for the ear - a joy to the eye
Long-Throw design for exceptional performance
Several unique technologies places Platine Noiree in a class by itself. They possesses abilities known from speakers many times their size. Platine Noiree's 4 "bass / midrange units' is of a high-performance long-throw design and provides a performance equivalent to those of traditional 6 ½" units. These units are equipped with high poly-ether suspension that enables exceptionally long travel without deformation or distortion. The cone is made of a specially formulated rigid lightweight poly-injected material, which ensures quick and transient response. The magnet system is triple stacked, which ensures long and accurate travel even at high power levels.
Superior performance with patented benefits
The patented SLAPS (Symmetrically Loaded Audio Passive System) technology enables Platine Noiree to reproduce subsonic frequencies. Traditionally, slim speakers are limited in their ability to reproduce deep bass due to small units and reduced cabinet volume. SLAPS technology overcomes these limitations. Platine Noiree is equipped with a 10 "SLAPS unit, pneumatically coupled to the four 4" long-throw drivers in front. The technology makes it possible to tune a slender speaker to reproduce very low frequencies. SLAP has no annoying port noise and turns out deep bass from a compact volume. SLAPS advances the dynamic capability of a smaller speaker. Opposed a traditionally closed construction which often have difficulties with the deeper harmonics. In a closed design the pneumatic resistance to the woofer rises as woofer stroke is increased, this compresses the reproduction of bass frequencies. SLAPS technology possesses none of these limitations and because of the low tuning frequency deep tones are reproduced with ease. When a traditional speaker face tones below its tuning frequency it results in uncontrolled and potentially harmful woofer movement as the woofer resonates.
Platine Noiree - a slim speaker with 500 watts power handling and bass response to 20Hz.
Advanced dual wide-band super tweeter module
It was the desire for uncompromising supertweeter performance, which led to the design of the unique dual wide-band supertweeter module in the Platine Noiree. A supertweeter is a tweeter specially designed to reproduce the very high tones above 20 KHz. Traditionally a supertweeter is a small tweeter mounted above the normal tweeter. From an aural perspective the ability to reproduce overtones is certainly desirable, but it must not be at the expense of the whole musical experience. Music and technology must be in tandem.
