German Emperor Duevel Moon God and Venus

A few days ago, I saw an article titled "Audio Jianghu" in Toutiao, signed "Someone's", which seems to be quoted from the side, using some seemingly very reliable data theory and sound textbooks from decades ago. The laws of physics and electroacoustics directly scolded the European and American Hi-End brands, and used the word "jianghu" to describe the bad habits of the current speaker design and manufacturing industry, and pointed out that some famous European and American brands were named Hi-End. Speaker products that are Fi or Hi-End but are seriously out of the rules of electroacoustic science, so they are called "Jianghu speakers", and it is said that the higher the price, the stronger the rivers and lakes. Another point is that some European and American speakers use high The speakers of the technical material box do not regard the speakers as an aesthetic object of hearing at all. He said that a large number of Hi-End brands are going to be an evil road to the design and manufacture of speakers.
The boring "Xiaoao Jianghu" is just talk on paper
A German Hi-End brand with a 360º pronunciation of the "M" prefix was the first to be blamed, and an American brand famous for its mixed cabinet materials in the 1990s was also severely insulted. The author follows the author's headline. After a search of the published articles, I basically took the famous European and American audio brands for surgery. According to his "electroacoustic theory", I think 100% of the audio products are unqualified, right? In fact, I admire the author's acoustic attainments. If I could study at Tsinghua University for 20 years, I would not be able to write at his level.
Each of his articles can use acoustic laws and some rules to prove and deny that the world famous brand products are not up to standard. It seems to be seamless but it is purely a horn, just like a calligraphy teacher using a ruler to measure whether the students' horizontal and vertical strokes are in a fixed position. Just like judging whether a calligraphy work is up to standard, I think that if the regular script of Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing is measured by the rigorous structure of Liu Gongquan and Ouyang Xun, then the two most famous people in the history of Chinese calligraphy will definitely not meet the standard! Since the author has such a good theoretical foundation, why not design the world's most "standard" audio equipment for the benefit of audiophiles?
German DUEVEL designer and owner Markus Duevel
We all know that science is endless, and it is useless to understand theory on paper. Even a doctor of electroacoustics will encounter various problems in the process of hands-on practice. A successful product is for the final To achieve excellent sound performance and serve, all tests are just a means, but they are also artificially formulated rules. Testing for the sake of testing, in fact, a pair of "standard" or "exceeding" audio equipment is placed in the listening room. Can it have excellent sound performance?
Our editor-in-chief Mr. Lai Yingzhi once said, first of all, we must understand that the human ear is through the process of air vibration → tympanic membrane vibration → listening to the ossicles, ear bridge, vestibule → auditory nerve. This process allows us to hear sound, which will cause the sound to reach the ear. The time and intensity of the sound are different. People determine the position of the sound source according to the difference in the sound heard by the two ears. This is called the binaural effect, and hearing the same sound from different directions at the same time according to the binaural effect is stereo.
Simply put, the reasons for the binaural effect: ① For the same sound, the intensity of the two ears is different; ② For the same sound, the time for the two ears to feel is different; ③ For the same sound, the two ears feel the lower The level and frequency response are different (mainly between 2-3kHz) and the conditions for people to hear stereo: one is that the ears are intact; the other is that there are at least two speakers. A pair of speakers with "perfect" test data at a distance of 1 meter, perfect frequency response data, and "perfect" fluctuation range of impedance maintenance can really restore live music?
Bella rula moon god
The Omni-Directional Reflector of Bella rula speakers is an extension of the traditional horn. It is divided into upper and lower parts. When viewed separately, the upper part is a wooden horn with an opening facing down. The lower part protrudes toward both ends in the shape of a sharp cone. When the bass is sent out, the direction of the transmission of the lower bass is just in the opposite direction. Due to the long wavelength of the bass, the radian of the diffuser is relatively steep, and the high and low frequency bands are fused together at the edge, forming a point sound source that emits sound without phase trouble. Bella rula is a pair of fairly balanced speakers, not emphasizing any frequency band, the sound density of each frequency band is consistent, and the sense of detail is also very objective. Bella rula is the shortcut to bel canto.

German Emperor Duevel Moon God and Venus
Advantages of German Emperor Duevel's 360-degree non-directional diffusion sound
Don't forget that the working principle of the microphone diaphragm used for acoustic test data is different from the way our human ear works. After all, we are not listening to music in the anechoic room of the test speaker, plus the refraction, reflection, absorption, and diffusion of the environment. In the end, the distance from the same sound source to the two ears is often different, and each person's hearing is also different, because the overlapping of sounds and standing waves will cancel out some frequencies, plus the shielding effect of the human ear, for most people's listening environment In terms of space processing, the mid-bass is slightly raised, and the mid-high frequency is attenuated, which is more suitable for human hearing. Therefore, some old speakers with imperfect data and indicators have been recognized by many audio enthusiasts, even musicians and musicians. Musicians recognize that their ears, hearing, or musical attainment are definitely better than some "scientists" who focus on theory, especially violin players. Their pitch and sense of music are higher than ordinary people, and a piece of audio equipment is pleasant. Whether it is unpleasant or not, please ask the violinist to come and identify it.
The production process of some seemingly simple products is extremely complicated. For example, the German Duevel loudspeaker products have always been famous for their unique "360-degree Omni-Directional" design, and the diffusion angle of the flying saucer diffuser is based on different speakers. Doing different designs looks simple but is actually extremely complicated. If you follow what the person above said, it must be a "Jianghu speaker". Why did German Duevel use this design?
Some people say that the most ideal speaker design is spherical sound source. Violins, they are not sounding forward in one direction, but diffuse sounding, and even the vocal sounding is not forwardly diffused unless the hands are covered into a trumpet shape.
We do not have an obvious "emperor" at the concert site. The reflected sound on the stage is much more than the direct sound. Most of the sound passes through the complex acoustic refraction and reflection of the concert hall and then reaches the auditorium. Why do we need to listen to traditional speakers? Only the emperor can hear the precise sound image and sound field? Because the traditional speakers sound forward, the frequency response of the mid-tweeter speaker off-axis is also much more attenuated than the test on the axis, which is relatively difficult to position.
Is there a way of pronouncing musical instruments in a diffuse manner that is close to the concert scene, without the need for very precise positioning, without sitting on the throne of the emperor, so that people can easily appreciate the live speakers? Yes, the series speaker products of the German Emperor Duevel 360-degree pronunciation are designed for this purpose. Although the indicators of the German Emperor Duevel are all good, it is a test indicator at a distance of 1 meter in an anechoic room. We can't listen to it at such a close distance at home or at the demonstration site. The actual sound of the German Emperor Duevel is The mid-frequency is mellow, and the mid-high frequency is transparent and detailed, but compared with the traditional metal-film treble or aluminum ribbon treble, its omni-directional diffuse treble is slightly darker.
Even the flagship Sirius (Sirius) that uses beryllium tweeters is the same. The sound diffused evenly by the "flying saucer" disc diffuser is not a direct sound. The diffusion process will attenuate some middle and high frequencies through refraction and reflection, but it does not mean Its transparency is not enough to lose details. The German Emperor Duevel has very rich sound details, but it is not as exciting as some front-facing speakers. It is more suitable for the human ear's sense of hearing.

The coveted German imperial style Duevel speaker
If you take this pair of Sirius (Sirius) priced at hundreds of thousands and let the author who said "Jianghu speakers" test at the beginning, it is estimated that it will be on the list again, but if there are audiophiles with sound judgment ability or more sensitive to sound Violinists come and listen, I believe that most violinists will recognize the sound reproduction method of the German Emperor Duevel, which is closer to the concert scene - 360º non-directional diffusion.
Sirius (Sirius) is a speaker that has been underestimated, because the German brand Duevel entered the country relatively late, and its popularity is not too high among high-end brands, plus the preconceivedness of audiophiles and the existence of most traditional speakers, unless Your taste is high enough and your silver bullet has enough range. I don't like to follow suit. I basically don't buy brands with a large number of them on the market. Instead, I often discover “second-tier brands” or even brands that are not very well-known. To many excellent voices, if the silver bullet is enough Sirius (Sirius) must be my dream, then dream first, dream a few numbers to buy a lottery jackpot!
Duevel Venus Venus
Positioned on top of the two entry-level speakers of the German Emperor Duevel, VENUS is the key to unlocking the excellent performance and magic of 360° non-directional diffusion. The wooden flying saucer-type non-directional 360-degree diffuser is not only the focus of vision, but also the design feature and technical core of the Duevel speaker, so that there is no phase difference between the high-pitched sound waves from above and the mid-bass sound waves below. The outermost edges are combined. The overall shape and detail work of Venus can experience the delicateness of Duevel.
The subwoofer is a honeycomb hexagonal cross-section design, which not only can greatly reduce the area of the redundant part outside the sound range of the top woofer, but also greatly strengthen the overall structural strength of the speaker, reduce the standing wave energy in the box and improve the overall speaker. The beauty of it really hits the mark. Venus should be regarded as a petite floor-standing speaker, with a charming appearance and exquisiteness. Venus provides a more defined and balanced stereo sound than ordinary speakers, and its non-aggressive way of interpreting music is suitable for music lovers who like to listen to music easily.

German industrial aesthetics, including sound aesthetics, are well-known. German high-end audio equipment is basically not bad in terms of workmanship and sound performance. Although the sound design styles are different, it is impossible to produce with a unified standard. Otherwise, there is only one design in the world. The speaker product of the plan is available. We will be impressed by the appearance design of a pair of speakers and hear its sound performance. This is enough, and the price is there. No matter how cheap audio equipment is for ordinary household appliances All of them are expensive, and Hi-End equipment is even more expensive. The audio products themselves are not best-sellers. The production capacity determines the cost. If there is no production capacity, selling a pair of speakers that should have sold 100,000 yuan for 500,000 yuan is a loss for the manufacturer. Otherwise, why have so many audio brands closed down in recent years?
The flagship Sirius (Sirius) of the German Emperor Duevel is expensive. Obviously, it is prepared for the rich and tasteful enthusiasts, but they also have products that are relatively close to the people. The Bella rula moon god and Venus Venus to be introduced in this article are two small and medium-sized pairs. Floorstanding speakers are relatively cost-effective. Continuing the technical characteristics of the flagship product, it is also a flying saucer-type diffuser. Using the Omnidirectional-360-degree omnidirectional diffusion sound principle, the sound diffused evenly is natural and smooth, and the sound pressure is uniform. As long as the distance is similar, the sound pressure obtained is the same. Compared with the flagship Sirius, Bella rula and Venus, the diameter of the box and woofer is relatively small, and it is more suitable for two or three. When used in an environment of ten square meters, the sound style is still similar to that of the flagship, and the investment in power amplifiers has also been reduced.

There is no need to sit upright, the German imperial style Duevel with "no emperor's throne"
The saying of "no emperor's seat" is of course a bit exaggerated. The Duevel speaker actually has an emperor's seat. It does not mean that there is no need to enjoy music in the middle of the two speakers, but the 360º non-directional diffusion is closer to the concert hall scene, but in the emperor The position of the "Emperor's seat" is wider, slightly offset from the center of the two boxes, and a well-balanced sound range and a wide sound field can be heard. More sophisticated audio players and those who pay attention to the sound field performance often adjust the position of the speakers in order to obtain the best sound field. Omnidirectional- 360-degree omnidirectional diffusion sound is characterized by the speaker unit is designed to sound perpendicular to the ground, unlike ordinary speakers that form a 90-degree angle with the ground, Duevel's 360-degree sound is its secret weapon.
The whole-hand-made dish-shaped diffuser allows both high and low sound waves to be pronounced 360 degrees, that is, the high sound is delivered from the unit at the upper end of the speaker down between the two curved wooden blocks, while the low sound is uploaded upward and then passed through different The transmission arc, combined with the treble, will sound as a point sound source, and evenly spread out in all directions, to get rid of the problem of general unit directivity. This invented device has been named "omni-Directional Reflector" by the manufacturer, and it is not a gimmick. A masterpiece that sounds great no matter where you are on the speakers.
The common feature of Duevel speakers is that the bass line is clean and rich, the bass unit is upward and diffuses sound. The structure of the box is quite complicated. It looks like a transmission line design, but it is not. Different models have openings in the four corners of the box, and some On the other hand, there are reversing holes on the back. Different volumes and woofers have different designs. They are designed to allow it to emit rich and fast bass. Therefore, the German Emperor Duevel series speakers have good bass lines and analysis, and energy. Good sense and bass elasticity.
Editor-in-chief Lai of the magazine has also played with Duevel speakers like this: Sirius (Sirius) speakers, Bella rula, the moon god, this kind of box has a relatively large bass. Boxes with openings in the four corners below the box can be placed in the middle of the room. There is an optimal listening area in the front and rear. Some trendy home decorations can be considered in this way, resulting in the effect of Xianle fluttering out of nowhere. Since the sound points of the treble and bass of the Duevel speakers are basically close together, and the time phase synchronization forms a point sound source effect, it avoids other 360-degree speakers that are not concentrated, the positioning is not clear, or the impact is small and the details are unclear. , the dynamic is also incapacitated and so on. The Venus Venus has relatively small power and cabinets, and the phase guide is designed to face the rear. It should not be too far away from the rear wall. It is about one meter close to the rear wall. The reflection of the rear wall can be used to obtain satisfactory low-frequency dynamics and energy.

Demonstration-level simulation of real sound field
German AVM Ovation series A8.3 flagship CD player and AA8.3 combined power amplifier to serve Bella rula, Moon God and VENUS Venus speakers, such a German combination sounds very comfortable, it is more reasonable to call it "enjoying music" , AVM Ovation series and Duevel speakers are very harmonious in terms of appearance and sound. The appearance is luxurious, and the publicity is restrained. , it is not at all the rationality and coolness of traditional German sound systems in everyone's impression. The thickness and texture of their sounds are very unique.
The Bella rula is similar to the VENUS speaker in sound style, but the difference is that the Bella rula has a higher high frequency response, with a frequency response of 40Hz-23kHz (+3dB), and a smaller VENUS The frequency response of the speaker is 40Hz-20kHz (+3dB). The impedance of the former is 6 ohms and the sensitivity is 91 dB. The impedance of the latter is 4 ohms and the sensitivity is 3 dB lower, but it is also a very suitable 88 dB medium and high sensitivity. A combined power amplifier of ten watts and one hundred watts or even a tube amplifier of twenty or thirty watts can push it well.
Although the two pairs of boxes have the same origin, the sense of hearing of the two pairs of boxes is slightly different. The bass of these two pairs of speakers goes to 40Hz, but the latter can withstand 50 watts more power. However, in the 30-square-meter environment of our magazine, the output At a similar sound pressure, the Bella rula with a larger body has significantly stronger bass energy, and it is more advantageous to play drums or large symphonies. On the contrary, the extra 3kHz high frequency extension is not as great as the bass, Bella rula. rula moon god is slightly transparent, and the tone is more noble.
I have a TIS 2021 test disc with Vivid Audio, the second episode. The entire album 13 songs are jazz music, directly engraved from the master, only the last song released in the late 1950s is the most famous in jazz history. One of the tracks, "Take Five", the live recording is worth listening to repeatedly. Bella rula and Venus play jazz too well. This 360-degree diffusion speaker is designed for jazz live recording. The piano sound While crystal clear, it reveals the old-fashioned texture of the old piano. The details of the percussion and vibration of the drum head are recognizable. The sound of the hi-hat and the hanging cymbal is not large, but it shows different sound textures and timbre colors.
At the same time, the positioning of the hi-hat and hanging cymbal, which are maintained at different levels, is clear. The saxophone's performance is euphemistic and tortuous, but "saliva is overflowing". It has a sense of air and penetrating power. , It seems that the air is filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol. The German imperial style Duevel 360-degree omnidirectional diffuser speakers perform this famous jazz music, and it is very advantageous to create a strong sense of presence.
Let's try it out with the sixth song "Hotel California" from the Eagles' "Frozen Hell" concert in 1994 that everyone heard calluses in their ears. Even if it is such a familiar tune, Sirius Be, the flagship of German Empire Duevel, was used. I have also auditioned it in our magazine. My colleagues and I are well prepared for the excellent 3D sense of the German Emperor Duevel. Even if we are ready, we are still impressed by the on-site space sense of the two pairs of boxes, and the excellent sound field width and depth. The performance was amazing, and after listening to such a familiar song for nearly 30 years, it still surprised us.
If it is the Sirius Sirius Signature Edition with beryllium treble to show such a sound field and sense of space for the flagship box of hundreds of thousands In terms of restoring the sense of space and positioning of the live concert, it is as good as the flagship box. It has excellent imaging and positioning without sitting upright. The guitar, drums, bass, keyboard and the familiar vocalist Don Henley perform their duties and positions. Stable, the applause and whistles of the live audience are dense and enthusiastic, the stereoscopic effect and atmosphere of the picture are stable and accurate, and the sound field and surround feeling like a multi-channel system can be restored with only two boxes, which is very magical.
German Emperor Duevel Moon God and Venus
Delicate and full tone, with musical beauty and charm
Bella rula, Moon God and VENUS speakers not only have a quiet background, but also have very good analytical power, and have a more pleasant tone. The overall tone is neither soft nor hard, and the sound is smooth and emotional. For example, we used a piece of Chen Jia's "Goodbye as First Seen" released by Tianyi Records, which gave people a refreshing feeling. The author itself is a fan of Teresa Teng. In 2004, I was the owner of Baidu Teresa Teresa Post Bar. At that time, I heard that Chen Jia covered Teresa Teng's songs. It's just that this time Chen Jia no longer covers Teresa Teng's songs, but uses the Chen Jia-style "Deng-style singing method" that he has sung for many years and has formed a fixed singing style to interpret "Flowers and Flowing Water" in the 1950s and "Olive Tree" in the era of campus folk songs. Then to the popular "Belga Lake" in recent years.
This album has a wide range of musical styles, but Chen Jia sings with ease. Chen Jia interpreted by the German imperial style Duevel not only has stable mouth shape and image, but also has a vivid charm, the tone is moist like jade, and the mouth shape The height of the vocal image is like Chen Jia standing in front of him singing. We can easily understand the beauty and unique charm of Chen Jia's tone through these two pairs of German Imperial Duevel 360-degree omnidirectional speakers. The labial and dental sounds are clear and separable. The reverberation in the late recording period, Wu Guozhong's bamboo flute and Zhang Yi's violin are very penetrating but do not press the eardrum. Analyzing Chen Jia's singing expression, there is a lot of air between her lips and teeth. It feels like listening to Teresa Teng sing these songs she has never sung before. It is really like the title of the album "Goodbye, See You", which is amazing!
So, how about appreciating folk music made in a big recording studio? The new album "Famous Artists and Actors" produced by Longyuan Music at a huge cost is a rare masterpiece in recent years. The tacit cooperation of Meng Qinghua and Li Xiaopei, and the addition of hundreds of top drama and quyi artists have made this album. Even more valuable! The editor recommends the 24K gold disc version, which is the most beautiful version with the current price of less than 300 yuan. Bella rula, Moon God and VENUS interpret the scale of the album's soundtrack very well, the ups and downs of dynamics and timbre beauty, and the solid and rich 3D sound field are all presented quite well. What Mr. Li Xiaopei said about Meng Guanglu's voice is that it can be strong in a strong voice, and the taste can be derived from the change of strength and weakness.
Yu Kuizhi's voice is very delicate, with a lot of sound details, and the timbre is very nice. Obviously, the restoration of these two pairs of 360° speakers is not difficult. The two pairs of German Emperor Feng Duevel easily interpret the impact of Guan Dongtian's voice, the nasal resonance and the rough outline of the voice, and the vocals are not suppressed by a very large band arrangement, full of tension and appeal, loud Play is not exciting, very enjoyable. In an interview with Mr. Li Xiaopei not long ago, he said that Li Shengsu sang Xin Qiji's masterpiece "Qingyu Case Yuanxi", he made the outline of the Konghou relatively large, and the ratio of it to the human voice was basically 1:1, as expected as Li The teacher said that Bella rula, Moon God and Venus Venus can truly reproduce the harmonious processing of Konghou and human voice that Teacher Li said, reproduce the painting and beauty in ancient poems, and wrap the human voice to form a sound. The background, that is, has a wide and far-reaching sense of space, without suppressing the vocals, it is extremely wonderful!
German Emperor Duevel Moon God and Venus
post-order
Appreciating the "no emperor" Bella rula, Moon God and VENUS Venus speakers, our mentality is very relaxed, before we appreciate it, we are most worried about the treble transparency and image stability and bass energy, listen to Afterwards, it was found that these problems we were worried about beforehand were not worth mentioning to the German Imperial Wind Duevel at all! Although the placement is much more tolerant than the forward-pronounced traditional speakers, and the distance between the two boxes placed in the listening environment and the listening environment is also required, the difficulty of placement is still much less than that of traditional speakers.
The standard versions of Bella rula, Luna and Venus horns are available in synthetic wood colors and cabinets in a variety of color schemes, giving music lovers and audiophiles a lot of choice. According to reports, the Duevel offers a wide range of available finish options, even brushed aluminum, acrylic, piano paint, and various painted finishes, for an additional fee of course. The advantage of Bella rula, Moon God and VENUS is that you don't have to sit with your head upright to capture the image of the sound. I like to enjoy the music while drinking tea and reading a book. I like the relaxed listening feeling close to the concert hall. Priority is given to the German Emperor Duevel series speakers with "no emperor's seat", while Bella rula, Moon God and VENUS Venus are available at much cheaper prices than the flagship Sirius Sirius, reaching 100% of the 360° diffusion of presence. The effect of 80, the investment in the power amplifier is only a fraction of the investment, and it is easy to reproduce the undisguised sense of space, which is cost-effective!
