    Very enlightening comments. To quote a wise dwarf “everyone who makes a joke about a dwarf’s height thinks he’s the only person to make a joke about dwarf’s height”.

    Good point. You could always add a series resistor between main speakers and AirBlade to match the impedances if necessary however practically we didn’t run into any issues yet

    Just to visualise what Marc already said

    Hi everyone, I'll add my comments to some of the points that were brought up if you don't mind: There is a dedicated 'OFF' setting that fully disconnects the AirBlade units from the system. No need to remove the speaker cables. I just have a picture of a cutaway model handy to show the rear...

    You're absolutely right, I should have known judging from the size ;) I'll edit that right now. Thank you!

    As Marc mentioned, AirBlade HYPE has been designed as add-on unit to augment existing speakers. It features an adjustable crossover with discrete steps for level (0 to -12dB attenuation) and X-Over (1 to 3.5kHz) that allows for easy integration into pretty much any system. The point is not...

    Thank you for having me and I'm excited as well to hear what Marc will say after listening to AirBlade :)

    Sensitivity (or Sound Pressure) is a somewhat misleading information. You need to bear in mind that sensitivity ? sound power and two loudspeakers with identical sensitivity can sound very different in terms of perceived loudness (cf...

    AirBlade HYPE v2 retails for £9800 per pair and the HYPE SE for £14800 per pair (see details below). We still have a few units of the legacy AirBlade HYPE v1 left in stock that retail for £8000 while they last. Years of R&D went into the new versions not to mention the improvements that were...

    The Zu's are using quite large drivers (I believe 10"?) and as such will become increasingly directional from somewhere around 1kHz onwards. Therefore, in this particular case the lowest X-Over setting on the AirBlade HYPE's might actually work the best, but we can try them all and see what...

    That's right. If you look at the polar response (or directivity plot) you can see that the dispersion is pretty much independent of frequency. As such, AirBlade is the only driver that offers such a unique performance. The dispersion of 180º has been deliberately chosen to offer the most...

    Thanks for the intro. I'm very much looking forward to the 'chapel experience'. I'll bring along our latest AirBlade HYPE SE units that we will be launching officially at High End Munich in May.
