We adopt a
very logical and rational approach to voicing
our speakers. It’s worth mentioning
that although our sophisticated test equipment
provides our design team with all manner of
data, at the end of the day we rely on our
own ears and those of our ‘jury’
to determine how close we are to our goal
for that particular model.
We have in our engineering facility a quite
remarkable loudspeaker system built by us.
Separately but crucially we have built amplification
to drive these speakers optimally. And yet
this system is not for sale. For a start,
you really wouldn’t like the way it
looks, or the size. It’s a research
tool and not engineered for public use. It
serves a crucial function though.
We wondered if price were no object, was it
possible to build an audio system that could
credibly reproduce every type of music from
intimate chamber music through to full scale
rock. And after some considerable effort we
have achieved it. Admittedly this speaker
is far from conventional in that to achieve
grandeur, ambience, appropriate bass depth,
attack, neutrality and so on, requires carefully
considered lateral thinking. This thinking
leads inevitably to radical engineering solutions.
What this means is that adjustments to the
amplification can refine and tailor the sound
for the type of music and environment in which
it is being listened to.
We are not talking here of tone controls.
Without this type of fine tuning, any claims
that one pair of speakers can be equally astonishing
when reproducing a Mozart String quartet as
it would with Coldplay would be misleading
and irresponsible.
So, what we have is a reference tool that
is consistently reliable. We know this from
the very many hours sitting in audiences at
numerous live events embracing in no particular
order jazz, blues, large orchestral, intimate
orchestral, solo voice, choral, solo piano,
ballet, spoken word, rock, roots and ethnic.
And we continue to do this.
It’s not uncommon for a team member
to rush back after a live performance to either
make notes or sit with a soldering iron adjusting
a crossover design on the reference system.

So now that we have this
reference tool, we then commence the design
of all products with the objective of getting
as close to that reference tool’s sound
as possible.
The challenge of course is to do this within
the constraints of retail price, size of the
cabinet, typical listener room acoustic and
numerous other considerations.
Each of our speakers has the same family characteristics.
Unrivalled neutrality, outstanding detail
and a treble that one reviewer in the UK’s
Hi-Fi News described as ‘shimmering’.
The bass is tight, but neither over damped
nor intrusive, while the mid range is uncoloured
and neutral.
Having said this though, the differences
within the family of Pinsh hybrid speakers
are ones of ultimate loudness, bass extension,
transient impact, room-filling ability and
three-dimensional reality.
