E N S I U M
E N S I U M is an even bigger powerhouse than its brother Adamantis. More sensitive (90dB at 8 ohms) but bolder and more advanced. Armed with our proprietary ARPEC™ system, Ensium takes a route no speaker has before.
ARPEC offers placement flexibility and the ability to seamlessly integrate the loudspeaker into any listening space in minutes—best of all, without the use of sonically harmful and complex DSP solutions. It's operating completely in the analog domain. The result: loudspeakers with the ability to achieve ultimate performance and room integration in virtually any room.

UNIQUE NANOTECH CABINET TECHNOLOGY
When thinking of big leaps in audio engineering, our Diluvite cabinets will probably qualify as such. The entire speakers are cast from a proprietary Nano-material which has the unique quality of turning vibrations into heat. It does so in the same efficient manner measured from 1 to 100.000 Hz. The result is a completely inert cabinet, without any unwanted sounds and vibrations.
PROPERTIES
-
Turns vibration into heat: minimizing unwanted resonances.
-
Two times stiffer than aluminum.
-
Ten times better damping than aluminum.
-
Same high damping from 1 Hz to 100.000 Hz.
-
Castable: making very complex design shapes possible.
-
The absence of unwanted resonances have an incredible impact on the emotional message delivered.
ARPEC™ – ANALOG ROOM ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
ARPEC is our audiophile solution for bass issues in any size or shape room. The incoming full-range signal is used by the analog ARPEC™ system to add current/amperes to the input voltage for low/bass frequencies. Like using a powerfull amplifier while allowing optimization settings for room-size and placement. Without DSP or any digital component in the signal-line, ARPEC™ maintains perfect time and phase alignment and improves stereo time alignment in any room. Always pure and natural, sounding like a BIG closed box speaker, with super-fast and very large woofers.
Room and placement adjustments are easy and intuitively done by adjusting two stepless rotators, placed on each individual loudspeaker. One rotator for room size, varying from XXS to XXL, the other for speaker placement, varying from standing in a corner to a position completely free of walls. Speaker placement is a walk in the park in virtually any room.
EHDL™ HIGH FREQUENCY SYSTEM
Based on extensive research on the relation of energy dispersion by all possible types of tweeter systems and optimal sound performance, the EHDL™ (Enhanced Horizontal Dispersion Lens) system combines low distortion moving coil tweeters with a controlled vertical/horizontal dispersion lens for the ultimate holographic 3D soundstage and imaging. It solves the problems of top octave response irregularities as well as fixes the non-pistonic drawbacks normally encountered by soft dome tweeters without introducing the harshness of hard domes.
DRIVER CHARACTERISTICS:
EMOTIONAL IMPACT AND HOLOGRAPHIC SOUNDSTAGE
INCREDIBLY FAST, a hallmark of Aequo loudspeakers, offering very high resolution and a heartmelting emotional impact.
VERY LOW DISTORTION, resulting in a clean en realistic sounding performance at any volume.
HIGH-DAMPING MATERIALS, responsible for that pure and natural sound, fabled amongst Aequo loudspeaker owners. No added ringing, just hours of non-fatiguing listening pleasure.
PERFECT PHASE ALLIGNMENT, througout the whole frequency range. An accomplishement by itself, but when combined with perfect positioned drivers based on their acoustic center, low order crossover filter topology and minimized cabinet diffraction, what remains is a speaker that completely disappears while creating an incredibly real and tangeable holographic soundstage.

ENCLOSURE | Diluvite Nanocast-MMC™ and inserts of Diluvite Nanocast PMC™ assembled with eleven high-strength/tension bolts. Multi-polymer
finishing panels. Totally resonance-free operation and perfect driver time alignment. Horn loaded 19 Hz reflex front-port close to floor.
FEET | Three M12 spikes are standard. Rear spike adjustable for tilt/tweeter presence.
TWEETER | The Innovative high frequency transducer system is equipped with Aequo Audio's fully symmetric SF40 high frequency transducer for high resolution and very low distortion. It's concentric fabric ring and dome design for extended frequency bandwidth, billet aluminum dispersion cone on carbon fiber rod to eliminate high frequency irregularities and fix the middle dome to eliminate membrane resonances. Enhanced Horizontal Dispersion Lens (EHDL™) ensures 3D holographic soundstage and imaging in all rooms.
MID BASS | Fully symmetric super fast 5-inch mineral-filledPP composite, closed-box, 3D-optimized enclosure.
SUBWOOFER | Super fast resolution 10.5-inch (sub)woofer with mineral-coated alloy cone, very low distortion motor with heat resistant anodized voice-coil that can travel up to 50mm in a symmetric magnetic field for clean, impressive and taut dynamics at any listening level.
LF-ASSISTANT | Incoming full-range signal is used by the FULLY-ANALOG ARPEC™system to add current/amperes to the input voltage for low/bass frequencies, as if playing with a >500W amplifier, while allowing optimization settings for room-size and placement. Without DSP or any digital component in the signal-line, ARPEC™ maintains perfect time and phase alignment and improves stereotime alignment in any room. Always pure and natural as if being a huge closed boxspeaker with a super-fast and very large woofer. Deep frequency/subsonic reach (16Hz depending room and settings) to ensure optimal playback of cinema soundtracks, the taiko, cathedral-size organ music, etc.
CROSSOVER | Similar to Adamantis, matched perfectly with assisted LF.
