The luthier`s art inspired Schiavi’s vision of how to design and build a loudspeaker, bringing together the experience gained in the field of music in years of studying piano and his work in recording studios with solo artists, chamber or full symphonic orchestras.His skill in faithfully capturing and recording live music in three dimensional space led to the development of the first speaker by Diapason, a reference monitor designed for use in Schiavi’s own live recordings.

Thanks to Schiavi’s knowledge and experience, Diapason speakers are able to convey the emotional involvement of the live performance; and to recreate the full spectrum of information recorded during the musical event with a three-dimensional soundstage and natural feeling. Having ears tuned by live music, by the sound of the piano that he used to play and by the instruments and voices that he used to record, it was easy for him to design loudspeakers in the manner of musical instruments.

And with real wood it is possible to create forms which excite the emotions even before a note is played.
In 1987 Alessandro Schiavi designed and produced the first Adamantes loudspeaker, with a multi-faceted cabinet shape which closely follows best acoustic principles by providing circular emission of sound around the loudspeaker and avoiding distorting resonances from the transducers.
This unique design gives a close approximation to the theoretical ideal of point-source radiation, where the loudspeaker quite simply disappears from the scene, giving the listener the sensation of a highly realistic ‘virtual’ soundstage.

Alessandro Schiavi has worked passionately on the Dynamis project since 2005, developing it alongside the Astera, launched in 2009. His knowledge of musical reproduction, shared with world-famous musicians and master luthiers, together with his experience in the field of live sound recording and amplification of live music events has come together over time to allow him to transfer all his passion and emotion for music into this project. With Dynamis his goal has been to create a truly complete loudspeaker, in collaboration with Roberto Pasetti for the appearance design.
In his vision of a truly full-range loudspeaker Alessandro Schiavi has found a perfect balance between depth of bass, power-handling, in-room sound pressure level and timbric coherence. The listener is able to enjoy the music with a quality and sense of naturalness that is without compromise: Dynamis is so coherent in the reproduction of live music that it allows us in our imagination to perceive as real the presence of musical instruments, musicians and singers on the stage.
