Diapason

The Prelude, and all the speakers manufactured by Diapason, are designed to offer the highest fidelity and transparency to the absolute sound. Furthermore, our speakers convey the emotional involvement of the live performance.
Each Diapason speaker is hand assembled and wired by skilled craftsmen. The beautiful cabinetry is not only an integral part of the design, but the highest example of Italian furniture- making. The cabinets, which are constructed in solid-wood staves and completely handmade by our skilled craftsmen, are assembled in a particular way which makes the whole structure highly rigid and free from resonance.

OPERATIC PERFORMANCE
As with an actual musical instrument, Karis III is tuned to reproduce the thrill of live music realistically and naturally.
KARIS III
A cabinet made of expertly finished solid Canaletto walnut staves makes the speaker an attractive piece that is wonderful to look at and touch, as well as being crucial for quality sound reproduction.
CONTINUOUS EVOLUTION
Innovative technological solutions improve on the performance levels of previous models. The 11-cm Diapason Direct Drive woofer is capable of excellent performance levels at low frequencies, along with a 19-mm tweeter with ample surround capability to reproduce harmonics perfectly. The crossover circuit with thick PCB is fitted to the rear connectors directly, to make signal transmission from the amplifier to the speaker even faster and more efficient, creating a vivid, three-dimensional and thrilling listening experience.
DEDICATED TECHNOLOGY
Diapason Direct Drive technology applied to the woofer, developed in conjunction with the Norwegian company SEAS according to Diapason specifications, enables direct connection of the rear connectors to the woofer, without using a low-pass circuit. The result is a listening experience that perceives low frequencies reproduced quickly and realistically.
