Manger

In the final analysis the complete system is only ever as good as its individual components. And the whole effort would be pointless if the cabinet or the crossover did not provide the Manger sound transducer with the necessary precision and influenced the best possible reproduction. Particular attention was paid to this aspect in the development of the latest version of the Zerobox 103. Cabinet wall thicknesses of up to 38 mm in those areas where longitudinal waves or transverse waves can cause resonance. And a cleverly devised system of internal struts to increase the rigidity of the cabinet. Selected and specially manufactured materials for damping and calming of the cabinets interior walls lead to the demanded result without any trace of cabinet post-oscillation. Here in accordance with the good old Manger philosophy, a closed cabinet without a reflex opening in the bass range is preferred to prevent any disturbing resonance here. The Manger crossovers are just as complex in detail. Separate crossovers for the sound transducer and woofer, so-called zero-ohm and transformer core coils, highest grade capacitors, as well as high cross-talk attenuation between the individual coils resulting from their arrangement define the state of the art. The result is a deep and dry bass and musical resolution matching the original in every respect right down to the last detail. Because, as the name says, you shouldnt hear the loudspeaker box, but only the music. This remarkable property is however still attributable to a stroke of genius by Josef W. Manger: the arrangement of the laterally radiating Manger sound transducers. This does not serve, as is often believed, to achieve surround sound, but the unhindered sound propagation of the front transducer, without any annoying effects that would otherwise be caused by a narrow cabinet front. And the future has also not been forgotten.
