Unison Research SV-572

Electrocompaniet amps and speakers

Electrocompaniet – full Electrocompaniet gears, featuring the Nordic Tone loudspeakers. The power amplifier used is the NEMO (AW600) mono blocks. Nemo is capable of producing 600W into 8 Ohm, with frequency response of DC – 65kHz and have a maximum peak current capability of > 150A. Notice the wood pole with a sphere on it in the middle of the setup?

Acoustic Art System

The Electrocompaniet room uses the Acoustic Art System from Synergistic Research. This is an “alternative” approach to acoustic room treatment instead of the traditional absorption / diffusion way of doing it. This might sound controversial! I’ve not experienced the results before and after the installation, therefore I could not comment much on this.

The full Acoustic Art System consists of Magnetron, Gravatron, Bass Station, and Vibratron. Perhaps one can DIY them with the use of metal bowls from Tesco, Giant or Carrefour? Let’s try it!
