NUX, the first floorstanding loudspeaker from Diapason, is designed with the same technology and the same criteria as the Adamantes III and Adamantes Limited Edition. In quality of materials, simplicity of design and the advanced technology employed, NUX perfectly encapsulates the minimalist philosophy of the entire Diapason range. It also shares that unique visual appearance which is not only pleasing to the eye but also functional in terms of its acoustic performance.
The multifaceted front baffle, reminiscent of the diamond form used in the other top models of the Diapason range, provides a circular emission of sound waves around the loudspeaker and gives a close approximation to the theoretical ideal of point-source radiation. The loudspeaker quite simply disappears from the scene, giving the listener the sensation of a highly realistic 'virtual' soundstage.
This effect is also made possible by the ellipsoidal form of the main body of the loudspeaker, which is produced from a curved piece of wood.The chosen isodynamic treble unit is a perfect match for the Direct Drive bass unit, and together they provide a three dimensional sound image of absolute realism.
As a bonus, this form of construction is also highly effective in dumping internal standing wave resonance. Equally ideal for use in high quality domestic audio reproduction or in home theatre 5.1 systems, NUX provides a perfectly detailed image of the sound stage, and will amaze for its speed in the bass register: the Diapason Direct Drive system, developed over several years of research and made exclusively for Diapason, enables the bass unit to be directly connected to the amplifier, with obvious advantages both sonically and for interfacing as it makes the loudspeaker easier to drive even when using low-powered amplifiers.
Each model in the Diapason range is the subject of painstaking care at every stage of its assembly, using only materials of the finest quality. All drive units and crossovers are the results of the most advanced research and technology and are individually tested and matched to a tolerance of under 1%. The Nux is available in natural wood and special automotive paint finish ( in a pallet of beautiful colors).
