TIDAL AP1 – Extra Class Active Loudspeakers
04.02.2025 07:17
German company TIDAL presented the floorstanding active acoustics TIDAL AP1. The idea of the new model was born with the launch of the TIDAL x Bugatti project - TIDAL AP1 is designed to transfer the quality of the company's top speakers to a slightly more affordable High End segment.
TIDAL AP1 is equipped with built-in amplification and fully implements the "plug-and-play" principle. Four woofers are responsible for the low-frequency range. They are combined with four drivers located on the front panel of the case. These front drivers include two sub-bass, a mid-range driver and a diamond dome tweeter. Each of the driver is designed specifically to reproduce its frequency range.
All drivers are mounted in a closed cabinet principle, and made of the latest generation of the company's patented TIRALIT material. Each driver is housed in a hermetically sealed chamber and mounted on a multi-layered structure of aluminum, stainless steel, and patented TIRALIT.
The Tidal Audio AP1 uses a hybrid amplification system that combines different amplification technologies for each frequency range. At the same time, each amplification channel remains full-analog. The model does not use DSP processors, ADC/DAC conversions, or equalization. Adjustment to the installation room is also possible - for this purpose, two controls are provided. Full specs. coming soon.
