Cabinet
At our dedicated cabinet-making factory in England, state-of-the-art technology is fused with traditional craftsmanship. To form the main cabinet bodies of the 800 Series Diamond speaker, a single, 35mm-thick sheet of ply is pressed into one continuous, curving outer shell.
Matrix
Strength and stability is the key to a resonance-free speaker cabinet. Our Matrix™ internal skeleton works like the ribs of a ship’s hull, bracing the cabinet sides against movement. So you have a speaker that’s more than capable of standing firm under pressure.
Veneers
The skin of each 800 Series Diamond speaker is made from real wood veneer. Each is selected by hand from only the top 10% available, to ensure quality and consistency of finish. All of the wood used is sourced from sustainable forests.
Final auditions
Even the greatest performers need auditions, and the 800 Series Diamond is no exception. Once a speaker has been assembled we subject it to the toughest tests imaginable, scrutinising every aspect of its endurance and performance under a range of conditions.
