Symphony S210 debuts
SALAGAR Sonics took wraps off the Symphony S210 self-amplified speaker at the 2007 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. The new speaker incorporates SALAGAR X-ACT active digital crossover/controller technology with four switch selectable programs to optimize (according input and input source and room setting) the frequency response and sensitivity of the speaker. It also includes Class D amplification from ICEpower, a division of Bang & Olufsen. A separately sold SALAGAR BL-1 Interface accepts input from iPods and other MP3 players, adjusting input from mini-jack connections. This bypasses the loss of signal volume and dynamics normally inherent with direct connections. The Symphony S210 is available direct in five different woods and eight standard automotive grade paint finishes at $8,000 per pair. Speaker stands sold separately and range from $175 to $700 per pair. The SALAGAR BL-1 Interface is priced at $150.
