QLN One

.

This marvelous little speaker can outshine many other small monitor designs they may have been meant to compete with.

Besides their overall accuracy and honest “neutrality” they stand out particularly with all types of vocal reproduction,

be it pop, rock, or in this case, operatic recordings.

They display an inherent and distinctively faultless mid-range with a high end that is sweet and decidedly natural sounding.

Big, open, and lasciviously accurate in its stereo imaging, the Qln One will endear itself to the most demanding high-end music lover

with its engaging and enduring sound quality.

They are highly recommended and deserve an “editor’s choice” rating!

 The bass performance was spot on, and highly accurate.

Our initial impressions were confirmed over the long term.

There was lots of nuance at the top end, and the midrange was highly transparent, clean, and free from any distinct coloration.

The Qln One also was exceptional at handling transients, especially with drums, quick percussion instruments, and piano.

Qln is definitely an ear opener with its highly accurate, transparent, and well balanced sound.

Very high value.

Truncated pyramid cabinet top with its minimized baffle area suppresses any standing waves inside the cabinet also offering improved 3D imaging.

• Qboard® technology, structural resonances are eliminated [more on this below].

• Cabinet is de-coupled from the floor via solid feet with cones and pucks constructed out of hard, high damping materials.

• The constant impedance crossover is hardwired with non-inductive capacitors for the tweeter and high-end oil-filled capacitors for the woofer with flat foil inductors used at the most critical places.

• All components are fastened with damping glue and remaining coils are baked to avoid any internal component and filter resonances [more on this below]. Resistors with high power handling capabilities offer lower noise and temperature stable performance, altogether resulting in perfect timing within the crossover and with low noise throughout the entire frequency range.

• Internal cabling is proprietary and feature solid core pure copper wires wrapped around a polypropylene core with polypropylene isolation.

• Custom Scan Speak drivers. The Kevlar® bass/mid-range driver has built-in copper rings in the magnet system and a 19mm long voice coil; Tweeter has a large roll surround and textile dome diaphragm which provides a flat frequency response above 30 KHz. The unique AirCirc magnet system and its rear chamber eliminate any reflections and resonances.

What  is Qboard Technology?

Qboard Technology is to convert vibration (energy) to heat (energy). Energy can never disappear. Some use spikes, pads, different de-coupling devises. They just transfer vibration-energy to some other places or by reflection smear out the vibration energy.

In all cases it always better to go to the source. If the cabinet vibrates, cure it there. If you have a headache, instead of taking a pain killer try to figure out why you have it (not always possible but try). This is done by sandwich design with viscoelastic glue or viscoelastic/high damping pads that is placed in right amount at right places.
