Why GGNTKT?

For us, the following applies: A loudspeaker is a reproduction apparatus whose quality is defined in terms of physics and technology. This has nothing to do with the music or the sound recording. However, a realistic reproduction is the premise for the aesthetic evaluation of sound recordings.

Now what is a realistic reproduction?
We speak of a realistic reproduction when all generated errors of the loudspeaker and the involved signal processing are below the threshold of audibility or perceptibility. The influencing variables with which a realistic reproduction can be achieved and the corresponding thresholds of perceptibility have been extensively investigated and lead to the following conditions:

1. The radiation pattern is frequency-neutral in terms of direction and intensity over the entire transmission range.
2. The linear and non-linear distortions are below the threshold of perception.
3. Noise and broadband interference are below the perception threshold.
4. The aforementioned conditions are complied with in all operating conditions, in particular levels, which occur during reproduction.

So how do you get a loudspeaker with these findings?
When we design a new loudspeaker, we determine the level at which the above conditions can still be met. This also determines the form factor - i.e. whether a small or large loudspeaker is created - whereby the radiation pattern is level-independent.

The design of the radiation pattern is also the greatest challenge in loudspeaker design, since the other conditions can be met more easily with current technology. Therefore, we devote a large part of our resources to finding methods and solutions with which we can model and optimize the radiation for the intended use of the loudspeaker. This leads to the optically characteristic features of our active loudspeakers, such as wide baffles, waveguides in the high frequency range and cardioid radiation by separate control of multiple drivers in the low frequency range.
