Boenicke Audio W11

The third model in the very elaborate Boenicke Audio range is an elegant column that, like the rest of the Swiss brand's models, perfectly reflects the philosophy of its creator, Sven Boenicke, when he talks about the connection between his products. and his deep passion for music: “He may have spent more time in concert halls recording music than most speaker manufacturers. Wherever I go, the sound of real instruments is with me. In my memory, in my body, and I promise you can hear it in our products.” The W11 Standard Version is the base model - there are two evolutions of it called SE Version and SE+ Version - of a sophisticated three-speaker, three-way speaker that, starting from the characteristic enclosure in a natural way with an internal labyrinth optimized by computer of Boenicke Audio incorporates a series of unique solutions that make it a product light years ahead of the rest. Thus, the woofer used includes a flat diaphragm with a 254 mm diameter beehive structure tuned to 27 Hz and filtered, which has been designed for large displacements. Regarding the woofer, it is also worth mentioning the possibility of adjusting its output level in 5 steps of 2.5 dB using a very high quality custom-made autotransformer. Also the midrange speaker, equipped with a 152 mm diameter wooden cone, has been custom made following the demanding specifications of Boenicke Audio . It includes a first-order low-pass filter although not a high-pass filter, to which exclusive elements are added to optimize its key parameters. The W11 Standard Version is completed with a 75 mm diameter wide-bandwidth tweeter with a high-pass filter, combined with one of the Swiss company's exclusive parallel electromechanical resonators. The result is a prodigious presentation of all types of sound scenes that can even be further refined with the addition of Boenicke Audio 's optional SwingBase rear feet.
