THESIS
The Project
In order to create a system capable of reproducing amazing, rst-class Sound, each acoustical component
must abide to the most elevated standards of quality and design.
The Thesis ampliers offer their best performance when used with speakers designed with the same
philosophy.
Throughout the years Thesis has represented a name referenced to the perfection of electronic design and
performance. Today, technological development has enabled us to push
the envelope in terms of the prestigious Thesis tradition. Creating a supreme product in amplication, the
Audison development team has achieved their ambition of reproducing
an unparalleled Sound.
Target
A speaker’s technical denition as an electromechanical device which converts the electrical
signal provided by the amplication into acoustical pressure waves, cannot alone describe
its mechanical complexity and its emotional role. With the Thesis speakers, the Audison
R&D team have reached a signicant evolution; producing a speaker system that can match
and complement the Audison ampliers sound, worthy of the Thesis nomenclature.
Unique and groundbreaking: Beyond the absolute.
Transparency
The ability to see the heart of the speakers is the chance to call forth the emotions, to
discover what is hidden behind a great acoustical result. Because transparency is not
merely a design element, rather transparency of Sound. Thesis speakers awake the passion
for music listening with a total involvement of the senses: fascinating to the eye, seducing to
the touch, captivating to the ear.
Musical instruments
Like musical instruments are predestined to the creation of sound, Thesis speakers are
esigned for music reproduction. Wind, chord, percussion and electrical instruments along
with the human voice contribute to the creation of the musical message, complex yet
harmonious. In the same way, a system composed by the tweeter violino, the midrange
voce, the woofer sax and the subwoofer basso of the Thesis range become an extraordinary
harmonious group.
A result that goes beyond High Fidelity, a system capable of provoking intense emotions.
Design
Overtaking the intrinsic limits of traditional speakers was the primary goal relating to the
esearch for this project. Thanks to the most advanced FEM (Finite Element Modelling)
software along with measurement and analysis devices such as Klippel®, a mathematical
model was worked out to start the development. This, combined with intense prototype
development, was used in search of the ideal transducer. A big magnet and a rigid cone are
not sufcient to create strong and detailed sound. Sound is generated by the alchemy of
elements that cannot be seen, from the pulsing heart of the speaker.
