Polished Diamond

While designing the Diamond Monitor 15 mkII, we have strived at every stage to refine the sound coming out of the speakers while maintaining the signature sound philosophy of the entire series. Every element of the second generation was rethought, from the drivers to the cabinet and crossover. As a result, the smallest monitors in the Diamond series, despite their compact size, can put larger speakers to shame in terms of bass precision, midrange plasticity, vocal naturalness, and stage width and depth. Thanks to those qualities, it can be used successfully in small stereo sets, as well as in home theatre as effect speakers.

Compact size, unchanged powerful sound

The woofer, manufactured by Norwegian Seas, has been redesigned by our engineers, and the changes are apparent at first glance. We replaced the dust cap with a phase plug, which provides a more faithful reproduction of the crucial midrange while eliminating the coloration of its higher range caused by resonances in the volume under the cap. It resulted in vocals having even more space and depth while retaining the character of its predecessor. The reinforced double-magnet drive provides even better dynamics and control of lower frequencies. The vibration system is based on a lightweight, coated cellulose diaphragm and a 1-inch coil wound with aluminium copper wire. In addition, the speaker is made using Spider Ring technology, designed to enhance control over the manufacturing process of high-end products. The tweeter from Danish Scan-Speak has also been updated with a more powerful neodymium magnet system, reduced voice coil mass, and eliminated ferrofluid. It delivers even better detail and microdynamics at the highest frequencies, with greater efficiency and control. Also new is the dual resonance chamber design, which further reduces the primary resonance of the tweeter. An additional advantage of this speaker is reduced nonlinear distortion. The whole complements an advanced crossover, constructed using only linear components such as air coils and polypropylene capacitors, which improves sound clarity.

Details that change everything

Compared to its predecessor, the design of the column underwent a gentle facelift. The Diamond 15 mkII has a steeper front and back angle, which makes it look even better, but also improves the time integration of individual frequency bands. The base of the column has been completely redesigned to create a sleeker silhouette while maintaining a timeless, minimalistic character. The tweeter’s elegant front, crafted from durable black cellular rubber for extended longevity, not only adds a touch of exclusivity but also minimises sound wave reflections. Cabinet wall vibrations are significantly reduced thanks to carefully considered and precisely placed reinforcements and ribs. Natural sheep’s wool and a new, specially selected soundproofing material combination dampen unwanted standing waves inside the speaker cabinet. The whole set underwent testing using a laser vibrometer and our anechoic chamber to ensure that, after all the changes, the set not only looks fabulous but also sounds excellent.
