KHARMA HIGH-END PRODUCTS BEYOND IMAGINATION
Above and beyond imagination has always been the core value of Kharma,
which now results in the Kharma Enigma Veyron System. Charles van
Oosterum has created the Enigma Veyron System on his journey to create
the ultimate audio experience. He has combined technology, experience
and knowledge to uplift sound representation to an unknown level of
synergy.
The Kharma Enigma Veyron system is the most advanced audio system in
the world realizing the Holy Grail in the High-end audio. To create a new
level of sound quality and truly offer superior technology that would push
the limits of current dynamic loudspeakers was not an easy task. This time
fully new engineered Kharma drivers are the basis of the Enigma Veyron, as
well as a new cabinet, materials, internal cable technology and more. We
decided to offer the whole package to drive the full Enigma Veyron as well.
New wide band linear power amps, a complete new touchscreen operated
pre-amp, App controlled subwoofer management and massive power
distributors as well as a diamond suspended audio rack were developed.
Hence many exciting innovations were developed by Kharma to create this
unique audio system.
The bass and midrange section of the Veyron are formed by the exclusive
Kharma Omega 7-F Drivers. The F stands for 0-Foucault currents, which
is a novelty in the audio world, because for the rst time no iron is used
in the magnet motor-system, avoiding any interaction. Normally the voice
coil induces a Foucault-current into the iron parts and that current induces
back distortion into the driver-coil which will distort the original signal by
denition. This is now completely gone and the result is a higher resolution,
more micro-dynamics, more macro-dynamics, faster transients, more richer
spectrum of tonal variations from the music itself, more natural sounding,
more explosive sounding, more realistic sounding.

Moreover, Kharma created the largest Diamond cone surface ever used in a
loudspeaker. To create extreme resolution and dispersion for the upper mid
and lower high frequency Kharma has used 4 x 50 mm diamond tweeters.
For the ultimate clear high frequencies, far beyond hearing, four Diamond
tweeters of 25 mm are being used. These 8 tweeters with a combined
surface of around 400 square centimeters are just for one loudspeaker.
The Enigma Veyron System has magical physical dimensions, which are
as impressive as the musical performance this loudspeaker has to offer.
The loudspeaker cabinets are constructed from 100 mm thick Bullet wood
panels and the audio rack and electronics from 38 mm thick aluminium
plates. Although the constructions are massive but elegant, all components
are decoupled from the surrounding by a minimum contact surface created
with Tungsten balls placed on Diamonds. The combination of the hardness,
shape and acoustical properties of the materials used, realize the ultimate
freedom of resonances.
Kharma has pushed the limits for each component of the Enigma Veyron
system. The sound representation and aesthetical beauty is overwhelming
and certainly beyond imagination.

The Enigma Veyron Audio Rack consists out of modular rack levels. Each
level should be positioned carefully and precise. All levels will have to be
placed on Diamond discs, which have a small surface and can not handle
high impact.
Step 1: Place rack carefully on Diamond Stands.
For the bottom level use EV-RK-BL illustrated on page 7. Please make
sure the Triple Diamond Stands are being used. This is to prevent the
Diamond discs to crack under the total weight of the audio rack and
equipment combined.
Note: When the Audio Rack is consisting of less than 3 levels, single
Diamond Stands are being provided.
Installation
Important The Diamond discs may not be exposed to high impact. The Diamonds
can only handle continuous load.
Tip: Tape the stand to the rack level and
lower the entire level at once
Basic installation: lower the rack
on the stand
Important Make sure you put the tungsten balls on the Diamond discs before
lowering the rack on the stands.

Step 2: Assemble stands for second level
A second level can be placed on top of the bottom level by screwing the
Diamond Stands (delivered with the second level) on the bottom level.
Important
Although the Diamond stands have a oor protector with felt for the
bottom level, do not try to reposition the rack after placing the rack
on the Diamond discs. The discs should be removed again before
repositioning.

Step 3: Place new level
When the audio rack is consisting of 2 levels, slowly lower EV-RK-TL on
top of the Diamond Stands. When a third level is required, use EV-RK-ML
and continue with step 2.
Important Make sure you put the tungsten balls on the Diamond discs before
lowering the rack on the stands.
