2020 it was time for a new version of the Betahorn. Main improvement in the midrange, around the crossover (ca 480 Hz). Due to now 3-way configuration, HF is cleaner at high SPL. I really like the shape, and the midrange horn’s performance is as good as I can imagine Weiterlesen…
The years since 2019 were very busy, resulting in new versions of Alpha- and Betahorn. Also, some new, interesting drivers convinced me to DISCONTINUE Rho, Topo and Topolino, even if there is still request (sorry). I do not want to sell things while working on (supposedly) better versions. Unfortunately, these Weiterlesen…
The idea: A small, purely analog (vinyl) listening bar with music in the foreground, where conversation shall remain at low level. Problems: Regulations strictly limit the audio level to avoid trouble with neighbours. Conversation typically increases in loudness once the room fills and gets too noisy to understand each other, Weiterlesen…
The Yamaha NS10M can be seen on the meterbridge in many studios. While they were discontinued years ago, many are still in use. One reason may be that they sound quite forward, with good insight on recording or mixing problems. But some users approached me with the idea to equalize Weiterlesen…
Wenn Sie im Süden von Österreich leben und unsere Lautsprecher hören wollen, sind Sie bei Jürgen Fischer von fein-fidelity gut aufgehoben. Derzeit sind dort Topolino und Rho zu hören. If you live in the south of Austria and want to hear some of our loudspeakers, we recommend a visit at Weiterlesen…
Some years ago I was asked to visit Plattenwerk.at. They spoke about low frequency (LF) issues … The problem See the initial situation below: Simulation confirmed measured LF response abberations of the KH monitors at work, due to strong room interference. They liked the look of their room too much Weiterlesen…
Few loudspeakers achieve linear response and perfect step response with short signal path. Now include perfect phase at crossover and do it purely analog. Finally, add a few extras, again with very few additional analog parts, to adapt this system to the LF (low frequency) room characteristic to build an Weiterlesen…
This the an un-edited response of Adrian Lapusan, owner of Lemon Audio, upon my request for a description of the TOPOs. Adrian not only describes the Topo’s sound but compares it to some other, well known monitor speakers of similar size. Therefore – sorry, German only! In diesem Beitrag möchte Weiterlesen…
Besides improving regular Haigner loudspeakers I work on room acoustics, custom loudspeaker designs and our app, TestHiFi. Custom horns range from large venue (old analog picture scan, sorry, but: 23 Hz @ 120 dB / W / m concrete horn casting mould) and midsize PA (picture courtesy DanubianDub) to domestic Weiterlesen…
The Rho is still available, but only a limited number can be supplied: the tweeters are no longer in production, and we will keep some for repairs (none yet – after two decades). During the last four years many attempts towards a better low cost – high sensitivity speaker went Weiterlesen…
Welcome to our new website. Haigner manufactures loudspeakers and room acoustic products. Some of the speakers are featured in the main menu, others – like the Rho and custom designs – within this blog. Room acoustic products are custom order only, based on individual requirements. In case of interest, please Weiterlesen…
