NEW 8MM AUDIOLAB PIU LOUDSPEAKERS

With love from Lithuania. 8MM Audiolab PIU loudspeakers are the result of almost 10 years or R & S and experiments. It took Donatas Tamošiūnas more than two years to build these beauties…

8MM Audiolab will premiere their creations at the Audio Video Show Poland 2017 at Radisson Blu Sobieski Hotel, room number 710. Find below the initial info and images…
We have always believed that music deserves to be heard the way it was actually played. As outstanding sound recreation requires outstanding tools, after years of pursuit we have finally developed PIU. Premium handcrafted loudspeaker for music lovers. The name PIU – meaning ‘more’ in Italian – embodies the idea that has guided us through countless experiments to deliver more in terms of sound reproduction. More accuracy. More clarity. More expression. More life. Moreover, we have always believed that the aesthetics of sound must be reflected in the aesthetics of design. Smooth minimalist design and solidity of oak suggest consistent, precise, life-like acoustic quality. The parallel between the visual and audial uniqueness of PIU intensifies the listener’s experience. More oneness. More impression.
CABINET
More natural wood. PIU frame skeleton is crafted from the finest carefully selected Lithuanian oak. Multiple, firmly braced boards are sanded and coated numerous times to perfection to deliver an astonishing home friendly appearance made to impress and aesthetically merge in a variety of environments.
More silence. 6-layer sandwich damped sidewalls and up to 100mm thick front oak panels make sure vibrations are kept down to minimum.
More warmth. Wood as a naturally non-resonant material contributes to the beautifully warm and nuanced recreation of sound.
More gloss. Sidewall finish completed in an ecological multi- layered panels provides the highest scratch and heat resistance available as well as the highest gloss and reflection level in the industry.
TRANSDUCERS
More precision. Massive ultra low distortion drivers deliver the most explosive transients and reproduce them at blasting life-like levels or quietest whispers with flawless accuacy.
More linearity. Each selected driver incorporates highly advanced FEA optimised magnetic circuit with multiple shorting rings ensuring less sound distortion.
VERTICAL OS WAVEGUIDE
More directivity control Minimal diffraction vertical OS waveguide, machined deep in a solid oak, helps to recreate exceptionally smooth and detailed treble frequencies.
More of the “sweet spot.” The precisely modelled waveguide shape broadens the ideal listening area with improved 3D imaging and clarity. Reduced horizontal coverage minimises wall reflection .
CONNECTION
More control. Our custom SHVC (Silvered High Velocity Connector) was developed to withstand the highest current draws and preserve your amplifier damping factor.
More connection. SHVCs are crafted from 1.5” ultra pure copper bars and completely covered with silver which is considered to be the best audio conductor as it performs better when oxidising with age. PIU crossover components are connected directly to HVC silver plate and no signal losses inside the speaker occur.
NETWORK
More revealed amplifier. Custom designed easy load impedance filter network ensures more precise filtering for lower driver unit distortion and better integration.
More attention. Custom made ultra purity copper coils, high precision premium grade capacitors and resistances as well as accurate crossover slopes were carefully selected during countless hours of measure sweeps and listenings to meet the highest sonic demands.
More silver. All the components are mounted on a silver tracked custom PCB plate. Silver is well known for its extremely low resistivity and outstanding reproduction of audio spectrum up to a very high frequency band.
FEET
More damping. Floating on 4 adjustable flt super spikes, PIU is completely isolated from the foor. The unique feet construction incorporating additional oak dampers and magnetic oak covers provides up to 11db damping and vibration suppression at 50Hz thus delivering more focused soundstage, clearer bass.
