STATE OF THE ART IN STYLE Karlotta combines the uncompromising Lyravox technology of direct-driven, digitally controlled ceramic transducers with a revolutionary cabinet concept. Not only does she have an impressive cone configuration and power reserve in relation to her dimensions. She also houses each transducer in an individual enclosure and uses the principle of controlled sound guidance as originally introduced by Lyravox, allowing to combine the special qualities of compact monitors with those of large, ‚symphonic‘ loudspeakers. Thanks to her adaptability to the acoustics of the room, she actually exploits her sonic potential in real life. And even if she may often be chosen for a living room or music room for her unique aesthetics, she has long been regarded by connoisseurs as a sonic reference in her size and weight class.
