Der neue SOUL MK.II Revision A Lautsprecher ist verfügbar

Minimalist/mid-century modern form, life-sized and magnificent stereophony and tone.
Soul looks fantastic: clean, timeless yet modern and the perfect size—defining its performance in sound takes more telling.
Soul puts out gripping life-like dynamics and irresistibly sincere tone, textures bellow and flow without effort and dynamic contrasts dance and burst,
all in perfect time and throughout your room and home.

The fidelity Soul can deliver is so right, so coherent that it carries and fills a space much like a real instrument.
Voices sound real and the size and scale is as big as life.
These performance attributes are the result of our particular mix of tenets:
high-effi ciency,
undemanding speaker load,
full-range methodology designed
to run without a crossover on the full-range driver, and bandwidth extending deep enough to allow deep voices to sound natural and bass to be solid.

BASIC OUTLINE OF FEATURES
• High effi ciency (99dB SPL @ 1W/1m), there is no substitute
for dynamic expression and range. Today’s “high
sensitivity” 90dB
speakers are 10x more compressed in their response—smooth
sure, but destitute.
• Undemanding 8 ohm impedance (6 minimum, 11 nominal) allow
amplifi ers and receivers to operate
without strain and within their sonic sweet spot.
• Zu’s old-school rooted yet state-of-the-art 10” full-range
driver
features nanotech paper-cored cone, under-hung voice coil,
massive
and powerful magnet assembly and heavy cast aluminum basket
details and design choices here are fundamental to
realistic sound.
• Crossoverless full-range driver engineering and design for
a relaxed and
unaffected recreation of the recording—no matter how you
bake ‘em
crossovers are tone killers.
• ZuGriewe™ cabinet loading combine with driver and cabinet
to give balanced,
linear bandwidth so instruments are in their proper place,
in proper scale and with proper weight.
• Coaxially mounted super-tweeter for a unifi ed and balanced
extended upper treble, giving you that subtle yet
compelling burnish and air
around complex upper treble harmonics.
• Zu Event™ internal cable harness featuring ZuB3™ geometry
and the bare minimum connections between binding posts and
loudspeaker driver
for the most intimate interconnection.

Soul does so many things right it’s a workout to list them. Like all Zu loudspeakers Soul is centered around the
human voice so music always sounds natural. The engineering and technology exercised in Soul bring to bear
dimensionally stable leading-edge resolution for breathtakingly clear sound throughout and reproduces music
that’s always tone-right and authentic to the recording. Soul is high-fi delity playback with timeless architectural
form that is quite livable in size. Soul is at home in any environment: college dorm’s, English manors, pueblo
revival and Tokyo art and architectural homes alike, dishing up music with a presence and vitality that draws
you in and captivates.

ZU NANOTECH HIGH-OUTPUT CROSSOVERLESS CO-AX
The heart of any great loudspeaker system is the driver(s) and with Soul
we think we’ve done something pretty special.
We’ve taken our super-duper high-performance 10 inch full-range driver
and combined it with a coaxial super-tweeter.
And like our top-shelf full-range driver this new full-range co-ax features
a very similar paper-cored nanotech cone.
In a good room with good gear you will be shocked at what this sensibly priced
loudspeaker will do with your music.
Soul runs this to-the-max co-ax driver full-range and totally fi lterless from
from bass through mid treble (12kHz); no coils, no nothin’ just an intimate
connection of your amp to the full-range driver’s voice coil.
And the paper-cored nanotech cone yields a very well damped and extremely quick
cone propagation velocity.
We also developed a massive and powerful motor complete with magnetically under-
hung voice coil assembly to realize the full shove potential of all that high-strength magnetic sweetness.
Getting all this high-output torque and horsepower transmitted into the cone has demanded a heavy cast aluminum basket,high damping surround and spider, a Mylar/ridged-paper former and high-tensile adhesives to tightly interface the nanotech cones.

All this driver wizardry translates into a very tone dense and resolving sound that
is highly expressive of timbre and dynamics, big to nuanced.
