Davone Reference One: No Compromise in Sound
The award-winning Davone Reference One epitomizes uncompromising quality, representing the pinnacle of audio engineering and design. With precise craftsmanship guiding every step, this flagship model delivers the full tonal spectrum of even the most intricate music. Its sound is clean, natural, and unconstrained, revealing hidden subtleties while maintaining complete control.
More Than Beryllium
The Reference One incorporates a Beryllium tweeter, renowned for its incredible rigidity and ability to reproduce clean, precise sound, even at high listening levels. Unlike conventional designs, the tweeter dome is mounted flush with the baffle, enabling a wide, unobstructed off-axis response. Combined with a meticulously rounded baffle and narrow surround, the tweeter achieves reference-level high-frequency performance, eliminating any lingering “soft dome” coloration.
A Metamodal Membrane
The midrange driver features a revolutionary Textreme Carbon membrane, engineered for controlled resonant behavior. This innovative Swedish design reduces weight while increasing stiffness, eliminating edge resonance and extending the usable frequency range. The result is a pure, neutral, and fast midrange that is free from unwanted resonances, perfectly suited for delivering exceptional clarity and detail.
Fast and Powerful Bass
The Reference One’s 10-inch woofer is purpose-built for large deflection with minimal energy storage. Featuring a double magnet system, vented voice coil, and a stiff cast aluminum chassis, it delivers powerful, fast, and detailed bass. The woofer’s large mechanical deflection and optimized cooling design ensure consistent performance even at high currents.
The Color of Sound
String instruments, record players, and tube amplifiers all introduce harmonics that enrich the sound. Similarly, the Reference One’s Beryllium tweeter and Textreme Carbon midrange drivers excel in separating tones and micro-details, ensuring precise spatial placement of musical instruments. Unlike simpler materials, these advanced drivers faithfully reproduce the most intricate compositions, offering a smooth and well-balanced tonal experience.
Extensive Bracing for Clarity
To eliminate cabinet vibrations that can blur sound, the Reference One features a curved, 25mm thick form-pressed wood cabinet reinforced with an intricate internal bracing network. This design, further enhanced by a high-pressure bending process, ensures optimal structural integrity and clarity in sound reproduction.
Optimized Internal Acoustics
The Reference One addresses internal resonances through strategic measures. Chamfered baffle edges reduce cavity resonance, while two internal Helmholtz absorbers tackle standing waves and bass reflex port resonance. The carefully designed bass port minimizes turbulence, ensuring linear output even at high signal levels. These refinements enhance sound quality across various listening environments.
The Finishing Touch
Complementing its remarkable sound, the Reference One features a stunning finish of quarter-cut walnut veneer, European leather, and an elegant grille for the bass reflex port outlet. Discreet Davone spikes and a meticulous attention to detail ensure this speaker is as visually captivating as it is acoustically superior.
