All New Network! If you have a RS850 'classic' model, you are in for an extra special treat! This is an all new network design (sold as the RS850 Signature by AV123). The new design vastly improves over the original network:
- Balanced amplitude.
- Higher and easier to drive impedance load.
- Control the resonance break-up mode of the woofers (eliminates 'bite').
- Maintain a clean spectral decay (no stored energy).
- Higher degree of phase accuracy.
- Consistent off axis response both vertically and horizontally.
This means your speaker will sound far smoother, more natural, produce clearer vocals and can be driven to much higher volumes without listener fatigue.
If you have a RS850 Signature speaker already, this upgrade is for you too. All users regardless of which version they start will realize the following benefits...
Benefits
Overall you will notice a higher level of detail, texture, focus, superior sound stage, dynamics, musicality, and transparency. What does that mean? We use as few components in our networks as possible. This allows the cleanest signal to be passed to your speakers. Rest assured this does not change the frequency response of the speaker or the overall character.
Texture – all of the ‘inner’ details of each instrument comes across clearly. The ‘live’ feel comes across so well because the subtleties that are normally lost are finally present. The more revealing the overall presentation is, the more convincing it is.
Focus – We tightly match our components. While most components are 5 or even 10% tolerance, we use only 5% or less tolerance components and then we hand match them so that each pair of networks is 500 to 1000% better than the stock crossover.
Sound stage – moves the sound stage from being within the confines of the speaker and moves it out, up, and behind the speaker. This helps recreate the sense of space and volume of the original performance.
Dynamics – Our networks use high quality Mills resistors and Alpha-Core copper foil inductors. This means no masking of top end detail, no muddled midrange and more convincing slam on the low end. There is a lot of techno mumbo jumbo about the why’s of this and it would be too much to detail here. Contact Us if you want more info.
Transparency – The ability for the speakers to remove themselves from the performance. Our networks enhance this ability due to their magnetically correct layout, point to point build and superior quality components.
Musicality – The best part and why we are all here. Everything your speakers used to do they will do better with Ninja Master networks and upgrades.
Components
Ninja Master network utilize the very best components available. If you want more in-depth information on these components, visit our components page.
Layout
The component layout of a Ninja Master network is carefully chosen to provide the shortest signal path possible while also ensuring magnetic field contamination is keep to a minimum or non-existant. For more information on why this is important, visit our layout information page.
Additional Upgrades
We don't stop with crossover network upgrades. A speaker's final sound quality is very much a sum of its parts. The crossover network design, the crossover network parts quality, the cabinet, internal wiring, drive units and binding posts. All of these items contribute to the end product - of which the goal is to simulate a live event with perfect accuracy. Click the options info tab above for more information!
