New things coming soon!
« on: 3 Feb 2025, 11:18 pm »
Hey, everybody!
We're going to be announcing several new products here in the next couple weeks! :thumb:

Copper-anodized floor spikes:
Already available & pictures under the "New Floor spikes" page under accessories. They come with black feet.
We've also got them in the more traditional silver anodized spikes & feet as well.

Diffusion panels:
We will be offering the 24x24x6" & 48x24x8" foam diffusers within the next week and a half.
Same kinds seen in Danny's listening room. We have a ton of both types on hand, we just need boxes for the bigger panels.
They are white, but can safely be painted with water-based acrylic paints. (avoid any solvent-based paints)

RCA interconnects: (Finally!)
First, limited batch of RCA interconnect cables are currently in the cryo tank, the bulk of the order arriving in another 3-4 weeks.
Lengths will be available available from 0.5m to 2m. Plan is to launch the product page by Friday.
(5 pairs of 0.5 & 15 pairs of 1.0, 1.5 & 2.0m will be available at launch)

NX-Bravo Center:
MTM center channel using a deeper version of the new waveguide. Better suited for smaller spaces where the massive NX-Center isn't a reasonable option.
Can also be used as a pair of vertical monitors.

NX-Bravo Towers:
MTM Transmission-line based towers, much like the old N3 towers, using the same crossovers and waveguides as the New Bravo center channel with bass extension down to ~40Hz.
We're going to be building out a pair of these for in-house use.

Do you have an estimated price for the diffusors?

I’m interested in hearing more about the interconnect cables.

Danny plans to shoot a video on them as soon as they come out of Cryo on Thursday, going over their development, starting with his old Electra Cable interconnects.
They're something I've been working on since Spring of 2022.

The Bravo center channel is going to be amazingly clean.  The spectral decay on those speakers is crazy clean.  Watching movies etc the voices can sometimes be hard to understand and that speaker will be great. On the other hand the NX center channel just looks crazy cool.  I would love to have a home theatre with NX-oticas and nx-center with the NX-Bravos in the back.

Why did the wave guide get deeper on the new center and mtm? Will they use the m165?

Both models still use the smaller M130, (Hence the "Bravo" name) but we weren't quite getting the lower end extension of the tweeter we needed from the standard waveguide due to the higher efficiency of 2 woofers.
The deeper waveguide gave us just that extra little bit of additional low end output we needed, and allowed us to get the response we were looking for.

is this time aligned with the difference in depth?

So many cool speaker ideas, so little money to afford them.

Almost, it's about ~1/4 inch off from being fully time aligned, but with the low crossover point, it doesn't make much difference.
If I wanted to make it that deep, I would need to adjust the curvature of the sides, which would likely require me to redesign the waveguide to something a little larger.

I think a person has to ask themselves how many speakers is too many? Stuff could happen, you know, and a person would be well advised to have spares for many things. I say be prepared for the possibilities and stock up on audio gear as much as you can. One just never knows!

We till have some 1.5 & 2 meter cables on hand from this initial batch.

Shorter lengths are on backorder until the shipment arrives (about 2 weeks) and we get the cables into cryo (takes ~6 days).
