OVERVIEW
Customised and hand assembled woofer drivers, mounted from the back of the motors to reduce vibration and improve dynamics. A low distortion, high excursion midrange driver has been utilised, as well as technologically advanced ring radiator tweeters. The drivers have been painstakingly selected for their lack of any sonic signature.
The package includes DEQX powered signal processing capabilities, and this is responsible for the linear-phase crossovers, time alignment, frequency response correction, phase correction and room correction. The signal then travels directly to our own proprietary dipole correction electronics that allow the woofers to be used without a box.
Powered by six channels of extremely low distortion power amplifiers, capable of producing a total of more than two and a half thousand Watts of power. The amplifiers are directly connected to the speaker drivers, with only speaker cable in between.
Each Kyron Audio Kronos is built to order and hand assembled in Australia. Each part of the multi-layered structure is aligned perfectly to create a stable and silent platform for the speaker drivers to operate from. The structural backbone of the Kronos is made up of five different materials, including aircraft grade aluminium, stainless steel and engineered plastics. The spine is assembled as a constrained damped composite, ensuring it is solid and inert, and the only sounds generated are those of the drivers.
The sculptural styling of the open baffle speaker system was modelled for both aesthetics and strength and is in itself a representation of what is possible when innovation and performance are given high priority. With styling cues taken from contemporary architecture, the Kronos is a striking and thought provoking artistic piece that speaks strongly even when it is silent.
