CABINETS

Our speaker designs feature massive and inert cabinet construction. Vienna Acoustics cabinets are designed with the latest computer modelling techniques and use a combination of amorphous materials in order to ensure that they are both stiff and well damped. Additionally, our designs feature narrow front baffles in order to promote accurate imaging. The combination of precise build construction using furniture grade finishing techniques and complex internal damping produce designs capable of accurately rendering music.

CONNECTIONS

The massive Vienna Acoustics input terminals are designed to accept banana plugs, spade terminals or bare wire connec- tion. Make certain that all connections are well tightened since poor contact between speaker cable and input connector can lead to degradation of sound quality.

It is also a good idea to make a point of regularly cleaning all connections in your system since oxidation will build up on a regular basis. We use gold plated terminals which do not oxidize, but contaminants or surface build-up on your spea- ker cables and connectors may degrade sound quality.

While it is popular among some audiophile circles to fit duplicate sets of binding posts for "bi-wiring", we have cho- sen to follow sound engineering practises. Our crossovers are configured as an organic whole, intended to optimize every known aspect of driver integration.

It is our belief that with the high quality of wire currently available, it is in most cases possible to obtain higher performance from a single run of superior cable to two lesser runs of cable. By keeping a single ground plane in our

Mahler specifications

Pro-Ject Mahler is an audiophile-grade turntable that encapsulates the essence of high-fidelity sound and elegant design. Embracing the legacy of traditional vinyl playback, Mahler efficiently combines contemporary technologies with classic craftsmanship, creating an intimate and immersive listening experience for music enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the Pro-Ject Mahler is its impeccable build quality. Constructed with a stable, heavy chassis, it minimizes vibrations that can negatively impact sound clarity. The turntable features a low-resonance MDF plinth that not only provides aesthetic appeal but also effectively dampens unwanted noise, ensuring that the music remains true to its original recording.

The Mahler employs a precision-engineered belt-drive system, which significantly reduces motor noise and vibration during playback. This configuration allows for a more stable rotation of the platter, enhancing the overall speed accuracy and fidelity of music reproduction. The turntable is equipped with a high-quality, acoustic-grade platter that provides excellent mass and inertia, further contributing to the deck's performance.

An essential component of any turntable is its tonearm, and the Mahler does not disappoint. Its 9-inch carbon fiber tonearm combines lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity, permitting intricate detailing in playback without compromising on resonance control. The tonearm features an adjustable counterweight and azimuth settings, allowing users to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance with various cartridges.

Speaking of cartridges, the Pro-Ject Mahler supports a variety of high-quality phono cartridges, enabling audiophiles to choose the one that best suits their listening preferences. This adaptability ensures versatility in sound signature, allowing for personal customization that can range from warm and rich to crisp and detailed sound.

Moreover, the Mahler enhances user experience with a modern aesthetic complemented by a choice of attractive finishes. This ensures that it not only performs beautifully but also serves as a striking centerpiece in any audio setup.
