PRODUCT DETAILS
The OPTICON VOKAL MK2 is specifically voiced to play the centre channel role, but at the same time it displays all the characteristic qualities that enable it to dovetail perfectly in a full OPTICON MK2 audio visual system.
The centre channel offers a level of performance unavailable from any other OPTICON model. It combines immense low frequency bandwidth, volume potential and dynamic accuracy with the extraordinary detail and clarity that arises from the use of a dedicated midrange driver. High frequencies from the hybrid tweeter are explicitly detailed and informative yet simultaneously smooth and endlessly listenable.
The enclosure dimensions and proportions are specifically configured to enable its installation in audio-visual furniture units, and its front facing reflex ports mean that even fully enclosed mounting is feasible.
This makes it perfect for placement up against a wall underneath the TV or projector screen or even hidden away in a HiFi furniture when not in use, which it also has been specifically designed for - a nice feature for aesthetically minded home theatre owners.
The OPTICON VOKAL MK2 is the perfect partner for any speaker in the OPTICON MK2 series, with the same level of detail and coherence – but also powerful enough to be used even with the OPTICON 8 MK2.
The manufacture of the entire series remains fully Danish - as with the MK1 series. Built at our factory in Denmark; from components produced in-house or sourced from the best specialist manufacturers locally and further afield.
The VOKAL MK2 is available in Satin Black, Satin White and Tobacco Oak.
HYBRID TWEETER
The new OPTICON MK2 hybrid tweeter marries the CALLISTO-derived 29 mm soft dome with a custom 17 x 45 mm ribbon - mounted on a cast aluminium faceplate that incorporates dispersion control detailing. This combination offers the clarity, speed and dynamics of a dome tweeter, with the very high frequency detail and smooth finesse of a ribbon tweeter.
SLIM REFLEX PORTS
The twin letterbox style reflex ports face forward to enable the OPTICON VOKAL MK2 to be enclosed in furniture units. Flaring is less critical on a system designed primarily for voice reproduction, which allows for slim reflex ports in a compact enclosure without affecting the performance.
SMC TECHNOLOGY
The SMC used in OPTICON MK2's magnet motor system has very high magnetic permeability and very low electrical conductivity. It works primarily by minimising eddy currents in the magnet system pole piece. This improves flux linearity, reducing the magnetic hysteresis. Resulting in a significant reduction of electro-acoustic distortion.
MADE IN DENMARK
Manufacture of the OPTICON MK2 series has been retained firmly at our Danish factory. Our in-house woodworking facility handles everything from cutting the MDF enclosure panels to applying the surface finishes. Assembly by hand, testing and quality approval on each and every speaker is also handled on our own assembly lines.
