In search of the unattainable, YG Acoustics unveils its new Gemini loudspeaker at Munich, the first in a new Ultimate series, even superior to the Reference series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Group CEO Matthew Webster explains (interview forthcoming<\/em>), the Ultimate series was born of the idea of being able to design and manufacture a loudspeaker without limits, i.e. without having to restrict oneself in the use of technologies, analyses and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measuring 2.15 m (84.5\u2019\u2019) in height and weighing 455 kg (1 000 lbs) per unit, the Gemini appears after more than three years of research and development, integrated into an enormous triple-layer aluminum multi-part cabinet in which seven drivers are positioned in a perfectly symmetrical array. With its five-way construction, the Gemini uses the Reference range’s aluminum Latice tweeter, with two 15 cm (6″) Billetcore drivers for the upper midrange. This is followed by two 18.5 cm (7.25″) midrange drivers, driven by neodymium magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last pair of drivers returns to 26 cm (10.25\u201c) Billetcore drivers to handle the mid-bass frequencies, this time via a ultra-high field strengh motor, identical to that of the 8th driver at the very bottom of the cabinet, a 32 cm (12.5\u201d) devoted solely to bass. Naturally, all these speakers are perfectly matched per pair, as on the Reference Signature, and the crossovers have been specially designed and are totally separated in a box, to which more than five pairs of cables can be connected, in order to attack each channel separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Available in three versions, the Gemini can be purely passive, semi-active with an amplified subwoofer (version presented at Munich) or purely active (Live), amplified by 8 x 700W amplifiers then placed in a second box similar to that of the DSP-optimized crossovers. As for prices, we heard close to $800 000 at the presentation, enough to reach the heights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 03\/06\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In search of the unattainable, YG Acoustics unveils its new Gemini loudspeaker at Munich, the first in a new Ultimate series, even superior to the Reference series.
