At Clarisys Audio, our commitment to our customers extends far beyond delivery.
We continuously invest in research, precision measurements and long-term product development. Whenever we discover a meaningful improvement that enhances real-world performance, we believe existing owners should benefit from that work as well.
That philosophy is why we are pleased to announce a complimentary performance upgrade for all Aria owners.
The first enhancement focuses on an area that is rarely discussed in our industry, yet has a profound influence on amplifier compatibility and overall system performance: impedance behaviour.
Many manufacturers simply publish a specification such as “Nominal Impedance: 4 Ω.”
In reality, that single number tells only a small part of the story.
What truly matters is how the loudspeaker’s impedance behaves across the entire audible frequency range. A smooth, well-controlled impedance curve places less stress on the amplifier, provides more predictable crossover behaviour and contributes to more effortless musical reproduction.
Following extensive development together with our long-term transformer partner Lundahl Transformers of Sweden, we have further refined the Aria crossover and custom transformer implementation. The result is a significantly more amplifier-friendly impedance characteristic while preserving the speed, transparency and dynamics that define the Aria.
The custom Lundahl transformers used in the Aria are manufactured exclusively for Clarisys Audio:
• CLA0021 – Custom Midrange Transformer
• CLA0042 – Custom Tweeter Transformer
These are purpose-built designs developed specifically for our ribbon drivers and are not standard catalogue parts.
Clarisys Audio also remains one of the very few manufacturers producing true free-standing aluminium ribbon loudspeakers. Our ribbons contain no Mylar substrate, no Kapton substrate and no sandwich construction. Achieving stable amplifier behaviour with such low-mass ribbon elements requires significantly more engineering effort, but we believe the sonic rewards are worth it.
We believe engineering is at its best when it is measurable, transparent and continuously refined. Rather than publishing only a nominal impedance figure, we are pleased to share the complete measured impedance response with our customers and the audio community.
This is only the first of several enhancements that Aria owners can look forward to.
