TIDAL LOUDSPEAKERS                        Manufacturer's website
TIDAL loudspeakers are thought by many to be the finest speakers available.  The cabinets are stunning works of art; the sound is both exciting and refined  with little, if any, coloration.  Custom made in your choice of finishes.

Amea
$24,400. with high gloss polished piano lacquer - black
$27,200. with tiger-eucalyptus, curled-bubinga, rose-bubinga
$28,100. with African pyramided mahogany, ebony-macassar

The entry model in TIDAL’s speaker range. Amea is a compact full-range speaker that goes about its task without any compromise: TIDAL’s statement in respect of small and medium-size listening rooms.

Amea comes customary with the complexly structured Amea Isolator Stands. With the stand the speaker presents an optically as well as acoustically perfectly balanced unit.

Product Specifications

• TIDAL-RMD-cabinet, 4° degrees inclination design
• 1 x 173 mm (7") Thiel & Partner (Accuton) mid-range woofer with white ceramic-diaphragm
• 1 x 30 mm (1.2") Thiel & Partner (Accuton) tweeter with white ceramic-diaphragm
• exclusive use of silver/gold/oil-MKP-capacitors, metal film resistors and pure air-core-inductors for longest term stability, microphonically isolated
• extremely linear frequency response, excellent step response, optimized phase and group delay
• massive silver/gold-plated soft-copper binding posts with removable heads for full size eyelets, spades and banana's
• original isolator stand: perfectly matched stand made as sandwich-construction out of aluminum and resonance-dampened layered HP-MDF, incl. massive brass stand-bars and 5-part-stand isolators and 4-part connection-isolators from the stand to the speaker, fixable with a 2-screw point-to-point construction. Each stand is delivered with all tools for assembling and contains 61 parts all together.
• serial accessories: 1 professional ATA-flight-cases on wheels, chromium plated spikes with chromium plated bottom plates, microfiber-cleaning cloth, owners manual with its personal measurement protocols, original Amea isolator stand in black piano finish.

• nominal power input: 100 / 250 VA
• nominal impedance: 6-8 Ohm
• frequency response: very linear, F3 = 42 Hz

They are easy to drive and play "full and rich" even at low listening levels. To use the whole dynamic range, listening to complex music or very loudly we recommend 100 watts at 8 ohm.

The Diacera variation on the Amea theme. Here, unwillingness to compromise is pushed to an extreme by making use of the 30mm diamond tweeter of the Sunray as well as its unique crossover technology.

With the customarily built stands, this is in every single aspect an unsurpassed stand-mount speaker without rival that we know of.

Piano Diacera
$51,800. with high gloss polished piano lacquer - black
$57,400. with tiger-eucalyptus, curled-bubinga, rose-bubinga
$60,200. with African pyramided mahogany, ebony-macassar

This is far more than merely an ennobled version of the Piano. Although it inherited the Piano's cabinet, the Diacera is a very singular product, as a matter of fact, its size adds to its one-of-a-kind status. As in every Diacera range speaker, a 30mm diamond calotte and ceramic diaphragm chassis is deployed, but again, the material is only a means to a very musical end, as can easily be heard.
What you will not hear is any trace of "diamond sound" or "ceramic sound". A dream of a speaker for all those who simply lack the appropriate space for the Sunray.

$46,000. with high gloss polished piano lacquer - black
$52,500. with tiger-eucalyptus, curled-bubinga, rose-bubinga
$54,900. with African pyramided mahogany, ebony-macassar

From the moment of its first release in 2008, the Contriva was hailed as one of the finest speakers, fully regardless of price range. We would just add that its musical performance is the essential trait that is largely more impressive than even its particular optical appearance.

Extremely easy to drive it offers nothing less then reproducing music realistic as it was recorded.

Contriva Diacera
$73,500. with high gloss polished piano lacquer - black
$79,500. with tiger-eucalyptus, curled-bubinga, rose-bubinga
$81,800. with African pyramided mahogany, ebony-macassar

From the beginning, the "Diacera" designation has been used for our spectacularly elaborate prime range of speakers, all of which feature the outrageously expensive 30mm diamond tweeter as well as the crossover technology deployed in the Sunray.

Trying to describe this speaker's sound is a futile exercise, and it is certainly incorrect to identify the diamond tweeter as the sole reason for its masterful performance. The first few notes of music you will hear will tell more than a thousand words can do.

$198,100. with tiger-eucalyptus, curled-bubinga, rose-bubinga
$203,700. with African pyramided mahogany, ebony-macassar

It is undue, really, to try and describe the TIDAL Sunray in common advertising parlance. The Sunray is very literally, a statement. It must speak for itself. It goes beyond the alleged top league and must allow only one comparison- a very good seat in a live concert.

It arose from our aspiration to build a definitive loudspeaker, that would surpass every known contender in the Champion's League in terms of musical reality and build quality alike.

The Sunray was the first speaker on the planet to feature the expensive 30mm diamond tweeter and until today it is the only one with the superior black ceramic diaphragms.

Product Specifications
• 3 separated self-adjusting modules for high and mid-range and bass: 2 x TIDAL-NV-bass modules, 1 x TIDAL-ND-RMD high-mid-range modules, cabinet-walls up to 5" thick, optimized internal aerodynamic conditions
• step response controlled point-source-centered bass reproduction, harmonic excitation of room-modes for a very even and symmetrical first reflexion in the room - therefore very uncritical to place even in smaller rooms, quasi-infinite front-baffle via a "pneumatic-air wall" by phase shift-controlled sub modules
• 4 x 220 mm (9") Thiel & Partner (Accuton) woofer with black ceramic-diaphragm, exclusive made for TIDAL
• 2 x 173 mm (7") Thiel & Partner (Accuton) woofer with black ceramic-diaphragm, exclusive made for TIDAL
• 1 x 30 mm (1.2") Thiel & Partner (Accuton) tweeter with black diamond-diaphragm, exclusive made for TIDAL

• VarioGain: adjustable bass-gaining for room adaption
• adjustable diamond-tweeter curve (hard room-reflections / soft room-reflections)
• mechanical and pressure isolated passive crossover network laid out with ultra low tolerance components
• exclusive use of silver/gold/oil- and copper-MKP-capacitors in PIOCAST-technology, silver-carbon-resistance's and PIOCAST-air-core-inductors for longest term stability
• extremely linear frequency response, excellent step response, optimized phase and group delay
• massive silver/gold plated soft-copper 100-ampere binding posts with removable heads for full size eyelets, spades and banana's, wired internally with finest coaxial copper and silver-cable, balanced to each other

T1
$338,500. with high gloss polished piano lacquer - black
$376,200. with tiger-eucalyptus, curled-bubinga, rose-bubinga
$389,700. with African pyramided mahogany, ebony-macassar

After the Sunray, what could possibly have led us to embark on building the T1? The answer is as simple as the question is justified. We were eager to raise the bar that we had set for ourselves even higher.

To that end, the T1 consists of a Sunray that was modified for exclusive use with this system and the addition of a breathtakingly expensive, pure silver crossover. And to that, accompanying it with the mighty sub-bass extender, that explores hitherto uncharted territory, even for a Sunray.

Product Specifications
• 1 pair T1-Sunray: Sunray with "cost-no-object" pure silver cross-over
• 1 pair T1-Subtower: bass extender with unique DBCD-technology (DUAL BASS COMPRESSION DESIGN) with 3 times adjustable VarioGain and Aerotune-System
• 1 x T1-LPX: active crossover for driving the T1-Subtowers and / or the bass modules active

Passive mode

The T1 is a perfectly balanced passive speaker. With its VarioGain and Aerotune, for both Sub towers and Sunray, it can be adjusted easily to most rooms. A simple and perfect solution in our opinion. If the room or the personal taste requires even more flexibility, then one can use the LPX.

Active mode

This mode we do recommend for critical rooms, and for the best results. One can adjust the Sub towers and bass modules of the Sunray in a way higher range, in level and frequency. One needs 2 or 4 channels more for that. For detailed explanations we will be answer all your questions.

• 4 professional ATA flight cases
• exclusive stainless steel isolators, stand-bars made from polished aluminum, microfiber-cleaning cloth
• owners manual book with its personal measurement protocols
