The Opera Loudspeakers Prima v.2 epitomize the principles of acoustic design by addressing resonances within confined spaces. Each element is meticulously crafted to achieve sonic fidelity through advanced engineering techniques.
The design of the Opera Loudspeakers Prima v.2 focuses on optimizing the cabinet dimensions to minimize internal resonances and the decay times of sound waves. By employing a high-density polyurethane material for internal absorption, the loudspeaker significantly reduces resonant frequencies, thereby enhancing the clarity of low to mid frequencies. The geometric arrangement of the cabinet walls, including the slight angling of the lower wall, effectively reduces standing waves and nonlinear distortions. Furthermore, the collaboration with Scan Speak in driver design emphasizes the importance of material selection and mass compliance to improve transient response, particularly in the mid-bass and midrange frequencies. This combination of cabinet and driver optimization leads to a superior listening experience with impressive detail retrieval and ambient reproduction even at low sound levels.
