The Danish brand\u00a0B\u00f8rresen\u00a0, owned by\u00a0Audio Group Denmark, will show at the\u00a0<\/i>High\u00a0<\/i>End\u00a0<\/i>Show\u00a0<\/i>2023<\/i>\u00a0opening on Thursday in Munich\u00a0its new flagship speaker model\u00a0B\u00f8rresen M6\u00a0, as well as the younger floor model\u00a0M\u00a03\u00a0,\u00a0presented\u00a0\u00a0just a month ago in Chicago.\u00a0The design of the novelty is inspired by the brand’s debut M1 monitors and is a logical continuation of the design concept, which turned out to be not only aesthetically attractive, but also effective in terms of sound quality.<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

When developing the B\u00f8rresen M Series acoustics, the main goal of the engineers was to challenge existing technological limitations and become a pioneer in new areas of audio technology.\u00a0This includes redesigning loudspeaker components, finding effective ways to deal with resonances and vibrations, and finding materials that maximize sound quality.<\/p>\n

The M-series mid\/bass drivers use a 3D printed zirconia basket with an optimized topology for maximum rigidity and thus minimum vibration.\u00a0The basket, according to B\u00f8rresen experts, is not just a frame for attaching a diffuser.\u00a0The energy generated by the diffuser is also stored by the structure behind it.\u00a0Therefore, the goal was to eliminate the noise of the basket, ensuring its maximum rigidity.\u00a0The research was carried out using computer-optimized finite element methods, resulting in a topology-optimized speaker basket 3D printed from an exclusive zirconium material.\u00a0Thanks to the 3D printing process, the cavities of the basket are filled with zirconium powder, which gives it additional shock-absorbing properties.<\/p>\n

The M-series speaker cone consists of four layers laminated into a single unit: two layers of carbon fiber, a layer of aramid honeycomb spacers between them, and an Ansuz Supreme coated titanium shell.\u00a0The combination of these materials gives the diffuser unique properties that provide maximum rigidity with minimum noise levels.\u00a0Titanium has excellent resonance control properties.\u00a0Ansuz Supreme coating provides additional acoustic optimization of the cone surface.\u00a0This coating is applied to the titanium shell using a Hi-PIMS (High Power Pulsed Magnetron Sputtering) machine to create a very thin and uniform layer of zirconium, followed by a layer of tungsten and finished with a layer of aluminum chromium nitride.<\/p>\n

The B\u00f8rresen brand uses iron-free magnetic drivers in all of its loudspeakers.\u00a0Their inductance is about ten times lower than conventional drivers.\u00a0This exceptionally low inductance in the M6 \u200b\u200bhas been further reduced to an unprecedented level – about 12 times lower than the inductance level of conventional iron-based drivers.<\/p>\n

All metal components of the B\u00f8rresen M Series loudspeakers undergo a cryogenic treatment that takes three days.\u00a0During the first 24 hours, the metal undergoes a cooling process from room to cryogenic temperatures.\u00a0Over the next 24 hours, the metal parts are kept at a temperature of about -196\u00b0C before the temperature gradually returns to room temperature over the next 24 hours.\u00a0Gradual cooling and heating are critical to prevent heat stress.\u00a0This process hardens and compresses the grain structure of the metal components and reduces the internal residual stress that occurs when the metal solidifies from its liquid phase to a solid phase.<\/p>\n

The ribbon tweeter used in the B\u00f8rresen M6 is enclosed in a sealed chamber.\u00a0The emitter operates from 2.5 kHz and has a sensitivity of 94 dB.\u00a0The tweeter membrane has an extremely low mass – at the level of 0.01 grams, which provides it with low inertia and the highest speed of operation.<\/p>\n

B\u00f8rresen M6 speakers are equipped with six 4.5″ M-series drivers.\u00a0Two of them serve the mid-range and mid-bass region, while the remaining four provide a low-frequency foundation.\u00a0All B\u00f8rresen M6 speakers are internally wired with Ansuz’s flagship Gold Signature speaker cable.\u00a0Like the M3 model, the B\u00f8rresen M6 speakers offer bi-wiring capability.<\/p>\n

The B\u00f8rresen M6\u00a0loudspeakers\u00a0are offered in\u00a0white and black piano lacquer finishes at a suggested retail price of\u00a0<\/i>540,000 euros\u00a0for European customers\u00a0.<\/p>\n
