Meet the addorable Carmel

YG Acoustics speakers are all created using proprietary software developed entirely in-house. The DualCoherent™ crossover technology allows the creation of speakers that have the best frequency response and relative phase available today. All other speakers are optimized in either the frequency domain (most common) or time domain. Only YG Acoustics has the ability to optimize both domains simultaneously.
Carmel incorporates the same technologies that make YG Acoustics’ Anat Reference II Professional the best loudspeaker on Earth. In addition to the DualCoherent™ crossover, Carmel’s enclosure is milled using 4-axis technology as apposed to the competition’s 3-axis milling. This technology avoids the parallel internal surfaces common in other so-called “complex enclosure” designs. A unique enclosure design keeps mechanical losses lower than any competing speaker, by combining the minimized turbulence of a sealed design with the low friction otherwise associated with enclosure-free concepts. All this is made possible through extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, and vibration-free, pressurized assembly of the precision-ground and hardened CNC-machined enclosure panels (YG Acoustics is unique in the industry in having in-house CNC precision-grinding equipment in addition to CNC milling machines).
Carmel utilizes Scan-Speak drivers, modified to YG Acoustics specifications. The tweeter, which is assembled in house, is a highly modified ring-radiator type. It offers greatly extended frequency response, linearity, and power handling. The 7” woofer in the Carmel is a modified Scan-Speak Revelator and provides excellent clarity and bass extension in a compact enclosure.
YG Acoustics speakers are not voiced. The speakers are not created with any subjective human bias. All measurements are verified using extensive listening tests, but the speakers are not altered, “sweetened”, or otherwise manipulated to sound “pleasant” or to follow any degree of personal taste. YG Acoustics speakers simply give you what the recording has – nothing more, nothing less.
The end result is a speaker of remarkable refinement. Carmel is ultra-transparent, and presents a huge yet precise soundstage, with the neutrality and warmth of a live performance that YG Acoustics is famous for. This is all presented in a speaker with elegant lines and a shape that invites inclusion in the finest home environments.

Coming February 2010 from Music Tools - Isosquare
04/01/10 03:44 Filed in: latest
Isosquare is a Modular designed shelf system dedicated to audio equipment. Each shelf is made by anodized brushed aluminium structure and a wood sandwich with special damping compound in between. The upper wood shelf is “floating” and is not in touch with the bottom one. This system eliminates undesired vibrations and resonances.
- filled structure and tuned with FILLIN damping compound
- anodized brushed steel aluminium
- adjustable plated brass spikes to the floor
- adjustable plated brass spikes between body structure and top shelf
- shelf made by wood sandwich and damping compound, thickness of 30 mm (14+2+14 mm)
- Call Sounds of Music for further details and available options.

For here is a long-established, well renowned and revered company who make arguably the finest electrostatic loudspeakers in the world.
Roger A West, Ph.D. (President of Soundlab) has written a wonderful white paper on electrostatic technology and how Soundlab has developed many ground-breaking advances to produce a range of formidable electrostatic loudspeakers that have to be heard to be believed. Whether you are new to electrostatics or an experienced user, you should taken the time to read the white paper as we think you'll find it very interesting and more than a little enlightening in many areas.
If you have the space, there is no finer choice of electrostatic than a Soundlab. Call Sounds of Music to find out more.
