OPERLY INTELLIGENCE III LOUDSPEAKERS
Operly Intelligence III represents a whole new generation of full-range speakers, combining German engineering with technologies developed by Operly’s team of engineers.
HORN
The Operly Intelligence III’s striking, standout design is a fitting aesthetic for its cutting-edge engineering – a visual embodiment of its philosophy for creating the shortest possible sound reproduction path. The monocoque body is constructed from high grade fiberglass, with a uniform thickness of 15mm along the entire length of the backward horn, and formed in a vacuum for maximum strength.
DRIVER
The driver features a unique design, utilizing a short coil with small diameter and high gap, achieving uniformity of the magnetic field. A patented full-range horn system eliminates all connections between the forward and backward horns – allowing the front horn to be perfectly mated to the speaker diaphragm.
Intelligence III’s stunning architecture is also practical. A three-point support allows for stable placement on uneven surfaces, with the product’s centre of gravity located so that pressure is evenly distributed between the feet. The depth and width dimensions are chosen to correspond to a person sitting in an office chair whilst taking up minimal space in a room. The backward horn is angled so that the convergence of the front and back horn axes is at a distance of 2.7 meters the start of the comfortable listening zone. To eliminate standing waves, the sides of the horn are angled to each other to avoid parallel surfaces.
CUSTOMISABLE COLOURS
The Intelligence III is available to purchase in a vast assortment of finishes with all colours featured in the German automotive colour palate available, including dual colour treatments. It means the Operly Intelligence III is a fully customisable statement speaker that can be tailored to complement any interior design or existing HiFi setup.
“The Operly Intelligence III is testament to what can be achieved when you take a legacy idea and bring it up to date with leading-edge development and modern manufacturing techniques. New innovation takes new ideas, coupled with a deep respect for what has come before them. That’s what we’ve tried to bring to life in the Intelligence III. We’re so excited to fill the lives of British audiophiles with Operly horn-loaded audio solutions for the very first time.” Matthias Bauer, Head of Sales at Operly
