“Music is Everyman´s Right.”

Anssi Hyvönen

Proprietor, Amphion Loudspeakers Ltd.

Everyman´s Right = Age-old code of behaviour, which al-

lows everyone to enjoy nature´s offerings regardless of legal

ownership.

Most forests in Finland are privately owned yet we all have

equal rights to enjoy them.

Nature´s importance in providing direct livelihood has de-

creased. Yet in the hectic modern world it is more important

than ever as a peaceful haven.

Music is like nature. It allows us to relax and recharge our

batteries.

Music belongs to all of us. Music is Everyman´s Right.

Those who prefer movies to music should remember that

the human voice is the greatest musical instrument.

Thanks to U/D/D the dispersion of Am-

phion loudspeakers is more uniform and

evenly controlled throughout a large fre-

quency band. U/D/D reduces the room´s

adverse effects on final sound, which al-

lows your loudspeakers to work together

with your room, not against it. This re-

sults in increased clarity, especially in the

midrange.

The positive effects of U/D/D technology

are most evident with ‘real world’ loud-

speaker placements. ‘Real world’ refers

to situations where loudspeakers are

placed in the room, which is also used for

Pure room acoustics

Room acoustics have a major

impact on how the room sounds

and what it feels like. To produce

a purer, more natural sound de-

spite changing room acoustics

Amphion uses innovative acous-

tic engineering called U/D/D

technology (Uniformly Directive

Diffusion).

daily living. This often leads to less than

optimal loudspeaker placement.

Thanks to U/D/D´s controlled disper-

sion the speakers keep their clarity and

naturalness, even when placed close to

the back wall or other boundaries.

Amphion´s experience and sound knowl-

edge in room acoustics allows you to

enjoy the positive atmospheric effects a

purer sound has on your room, and your

home.

The biggest challenge in loudspeaker design is to integrate the chosen drivers into

one seamless product. Amphion’s proprietary waveguide provides an elegant and

effective solution as it improves the coupling between tweeter and woofer. This

superior integration over a broad frequency-band leads into a purer, more natural

sound.

The human sensory system is precise at detecting variations of the time constants

in music. Amphion´s innovative acoustical engineering makes electrical time cor-

rections unnecessary. Result is a more natural sound reproduction, with deeper

emotional involvement and relaxation.

“By sounding right, we get things feeling right”

Anssi Hyvönen

Proprietor, Amphion Loudspeakers Ltd.

The secret of Amphion´s superior 3D imaging lies in using a tweeter

& waveguide combination, where we human´s can hear best. The

tweeter with its extremely stiff diaphragm and low mass is easily

controllable.

Amphion’s solution increases transient speed, which together with

very low distortion leads into an airy, open sounding musical expe-

rience. Unrivalled palpable three dimensionality and pinpoint imag-

ing allows “seeing” your favorite musicians on stage, or admiring the

acoustics of world famous concert halls.

Amphion´s sonic 3D HD presentation adds greatly to the magical il-

lusion of “being there”. The best part of this 3D HD is that there is

already plenty of existing software for you to enjoy.

3D HD - For Your Ear

“In particular, classical concerts are perfectly

reproduced with a clear revelation of the room

acoustics in various concert halls.

It was fascinating to be able to recognize the

acoustics of the concert hall so precisely on the

Amphions and to hear the difference in room

acoustics between the (perhaps too) dry sound

from the new Danish concert hall and the more

open sound from the famous Berlin hall.”

Human voice – the great musical instrument we all know

Human voice is perfect loudspeaker evaluation material due to its familiarity.

Amphion´s unrivalled midrange clarity and speech intelligibility along with an

unstressed, pure and natural voice band are achieved by seamless driver in-

tegration and carefully executed natural balance. Listening to realistically re-

produced human voices is like music to your ears.

In addition to obvious benefits with movies and music, Amphion´s unrivalled

voice band contributes greatly to voice books and learning related applica-

tions.

Turn the volume down – and still hear everything

The demands of daily life often leave only the “after-hours” to calm down. Hearing

unstressed natural sound becomes exceedingly important when one is constantly

bombarded with information. Like each and everyone of us are. Amphion´s unstrained

clarity and speech intelligibility remain unchanged even at surprisingly low listening

levels. This brings more enjoyment to those late night movie or music sessions.

Pure and unstrained low-level sound reproduction also offers a great way to enjoy

high quality audio signals present in normal TV and radio programs.

The coherent and focused soundfield created by Amphion´s controlled dispersion is a

blessing when you want to move around while enjoying your music. It also allows you

to improve your home’s atmosphere by playing something quietly in the background.

Music´s miraculous constructive powers are of-

ten described by Amphion’s story from Greek

mythology. Amphion built walls around the city

Thebes just by playing his golden lyre.

Just as before, Amphion´s goal is to fortify our

lives against the hostile environment. Since 1998

Amphion Loudspeakers of Finland has been de-

signing and manufacturing loudspeakers which

are made based on the requirements of hu-

man hearing and demands of everyday living.

Amphion develops and manufactures products

which allow us to experience music´s emotive

powers in our own homes. Something we may

need more now than ever before.
