Let's take a look inside our speakers ...
For the suppression of disturbing resonances all speaker-enclosures are made of solid MDF with optimized bracing. We tried to avoid parallel enclosure walls while designing. In addition, our large systems are created with modular housing to keep deep bass resonances away from the high-midrange unit. The frequency crossovers are electrically separated on several boards for each area and effectively decoupled from the cabinets. In the high-range-/tweeter area, premium high-quality film capacitors and air coil chokes are used. Our speakers feature no unnecessary and sound-degrading connectors. All connections are soldered, the internal wiring consists of high-quality OFC cables with customized geometry.
The development and fine tuning of the speakers is done with prematurely aged, burnt in (stabilized) chassis. The sound of our speakers will not deteriorate over the years, which, on the other hand [and like most high-end loudspeakers] also means that Swans speakers require quite a long period to reach their full performance potential. Please do not be afraid if your new Swans speakers sound new out of the box just a bit fuzzy and dull. This is normal. With cumulative playing time their performance gets better and better and once broken in, surely revealing a level of quality most astonishing. There is not much to say about the performance quality of our chassis as they are used worldwide quite honestly by many premium speaker manufacturers.
