WBT-0710 Ag Nextgen terminals

 

Minimalist electronics - maximum sound fidelity
The horn from The-Final focuses on minimalism in its electronics. The cabling and connectors meet the highest standards: individually routed silver wires and high-quality WBT-0710 Ag - nextgen™ terminals ensure lossless signal transmission.

A conventional passive crossover in the signal path is deliberately omitted - instead, the FIR crossover in Roon ensures perfect connection to the subwoofer and amplifier.

RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE - professional four-channel DAC, ADC and preamplifier
The outstanding ADI-2/4 Pro SE in combination with the rooExtend-Box as streamer and supervisor, controls the horn of The-Final with utmost finesse and precision. The ADI-2/4 Pro SE also offers one analog and several digital inputs (Toslink, S/PDIF, AES-EBU), whose signals are fed back to Roon and via the FIR crossover forwarded to the DAC. The integrated high-quality phono preamplifier allows for the connection of a turntable (MM). Volume and input selection can be conveniently adjusted using the rooMax remote control of the rooExtend-Box. The four balanced analog outputs (XLR) supply the subwoofers and a stereo amplifier for the horns. The ESS DAC chips built into the ADI-2/4 Pro SE ensure superior sound quality.

 

Amplifier selection - flexible and audiophile
The majority of subwoofers are active, with integrated amplifiers included. They can be connected directly to the RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE via XLR. Any amplifier can be used for the horns - e.g., a dedicated power amplifier or even an integrated amplifier. Thanks to the horns' high sensitivity, even less powerful, particularly beautiful-sounding tube amplifiers can be used, such as Simply Italy from Unison Research. But high-quality Class-D amplifiers such as the Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amplifier from Apollon also deliver excellent results.

 

Linear-phase crossovers - music without time smear.
A crucial factor for the audiophile listening experience is the linear phase control of the crossover. This is the only way for sound waves from the subwoofer and horn to reach the listener in absolute synchrony. Conventional crossovers, even DSP-based ones, delay the signal and cause asynchrony. The solution implemented in Roon with the FIR crossover ensures that the bass and horn work seamlessly together. Acoustically, the speakers disappear completely, leaving only music in all its beauty and spatiality.

 

The result
With The-Final and its accompanying electronics, a genuine musical experience is created: precise, vibrant, and emotional. The integration of horn and subwoofer is perfect, so that the sound appears seamlessly integrated. Listeners experience music not as a technical construction, but as an immediate, captivating reality.

 

And here the promise of The-Final:
Music live, intravenous, direct, clear, and with audiophile breadth and depth!
