Musicality For All Is Our Goal - Experience The Magic Of Technology

Musicality, just what does it mean? To an audiophile it means hearing all of the music without artifacts, seams or boundaries. It means perfect sound reproduction with no emphasis on anything but reality. Musical Bass unlocks this dimension in the entire musical spectrum just like magic.

At TBI we want to emphasize the need of speed, driver acoustic isolation and placement versatility for musicality in subwoofers. We don't mention the room because we have no real control of the room's acoustics. The subject of low frequency extension in an audiophile system is a very controversial one and is almost certainly the reason that most (>90%) audiophiles don't add subwoofers to two channel. Compromise is the state of the audiophile subwoofer as it exists today with the basic technology behind the designs the same as that for auto and home theater boomy subs. The differences in the resulting products is subtle and they all share similar difficulties in integrating with your speaker system and room. Now it easy for you to achieve the proper musical bass extension for your audiophile system. We prefer to refer to a TBI™ Subwoofer as a TBI™ Bass Extension Module or a TBI™ Anti- Subwoofer for the sake of music so we shall rotate names through most of this document to associate you with the differences from conventional designs intended for the same purpose.

 
     
  TBI Millenia MG3 Class D Integrated Amplifier
For years, the high-end audio industry has struggled to extend its market appeal to young Ipod music lovers. But the rising cost of entry into high-end has deterred potential buyers from this market segment to even consider it.

Housed in a rugged, attractive, and shielded aluminum enclosure, the Class D integrated amp features a new Burr Brown op amp with a 250V/us slew rate buffering signals in the input stage to provide the proper impedance for the proprietary Gen 3 digital amplifier using a refined DPDM conversion topology. The result is an immediate and un-distorted output signal, capable of interfacing optimally with the speaker crossover network and voice coils and producing a sound performance true to the recorded musical event.

The user may choose between DC and AC power options. Using 8 AA batteries, the Millenia produces 8 watts of power/channel at less than 1% distortion and 10W at 10%. When using the AC power supply, it delivers up to 32 watts/channel at less than 1% distortion and up to 40W at less than 10%. Patent-pending technology to eliminate clipping instability ensures that the amplifier continues to perform under overload conditions. The Millenia has two input options to support portable players and well as main sources. Quality components parts such as gold-plated inputs and 5-way binding posts make the Millenia suitable for use with high-quality audio sources and speakers systems.

Majestic Diamond 1R™

The Majestic Diamond 1R speaker system is a perfect match for the Millenia. Attractively packaged in a space-saving enclosure, the 1R features TBI patented Embedded Transmission Line (ETL) technology meeting the High Definition Sound Standard (HDSS) that is being licensed and used by many major electronic manufacturers such as Marantz and Sharp. ETL solves a myriad of problems in speaker design by using acoustic impedance matching techniques that allows full and natural integration of the speaker sound with room acoustics.

This design approach obviates the need for expensive and cumbersome room treatments and correction devices. TBI products are designed to blend in with the environment while producing hi-fidelity, natural sound at reasonable costs. At $995 retail price, the Millenia MG3/Majestic Diamond 1R system lowers the price of admission into high-end audio, allowing the young music lover consumers to enjoy high-fidelity sound to complement their mobile lifestyle.

This entry-level system provides these buyers with the first foray into high-end audio with a natural migration path into more quality solutions as their level of sophistication increases. At $1995 retail price, the Millenia/Majestic Diamond 2 system is the next step on this journey, and at $3445 retail price, the Millenia/Majestic Diamond 2/Magellan VIP subwoofer system provides a true high-end sound previously unattainable at the price point.

  Majestic Diamond II™

The Majestic Diamond II represents the state of the art in Audio Monitors. Although many manufacturers before us have made this statement the true definition of this accomplishment requires more than a special listening panel in a special room. The Majestic Diamond II™ solves many other problems that must be addressed before sound reproduction can benefit the consumer on such a thorough scale in today’s modern lifestyle. Audio is actually more involving than a high definition picture just ask any serious audiophile and now it is possible to have the best of both worlds. The sound stage should tell you what is going on even if a picture is not present. A musical event is wonderful when we close our eyes and imagine the performers in front of us and feel the ambiance of the hall. Some feel that this would be better than watching it because you can be there with your eyes closed.

The amplifier is equipped with line and speaker level controls allowing maximum connection flexibility. The MAGELLAN VIP su is also equipped with a fixed high pass filter @ 70 Hz to relieve the smaller mains from IM distortion at lower bass frequencies. The amplifier operates at 85% efficiency allowing for placement in close quarters with overheating. It is not digital but operates as a high efficiency class AB the tried and true output stage for truly musical bass. Plug and play is the best description as the alignment is a very simple process to produce seamless low frequency extension. The coherent output of the MAGELLAN VIP su makes the volume and crossover controls very sensitive and predictable for setup. Once you set the controls you forget them as the sound will always be in sync and the bass will be present even at low volume levels.
