Avalon Artists LLC Revolutionizes Audio Fidelity with Innovative Passive Crossovers
SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – Avalon Artists LLC, a Spokane-based audio engineering firm dedicated to pushing the boundaries of sound reproduction, today announced the release of its cutting-edge line of passive crossovers. Built on years of research and a deep passion for audio excellence, these crossovers promise to dramatically improve the clarity, accuracy, and overall listening experience for audiophiles, music producers, and sound system integrators alike. Avalon Artists LLC, located at 522 W Riverside Ave Ste N, Spokane, WA, 99201, United States (and reachable at 360-519-5545), isn’t just another component manufacturer. We're a team of dedicated audio professionals – engineers, designers, and musicians – who live and breathe sound. We started Avalon Artists because we were frustrated with the compromises often made in audio component design. We believe that every detail matters, and that meticulously crafted components are essential for truly immersive and high-fidelity sound. We don't just build parts; we build experiences. What's the Big Deal with Passive Crossovers? Okay, let's get a little technical, but we'll keep it real. Your speakers aren't just one big sound-maker. They usually have multiple drivers – a woofer for the lows (bass), a tweeter for the highs, and sometimes a midrange for, well, the middle! Each driver is designed to handle specific frequencies really well. The problem? They all try to make all the sounds, which muddies things up. That’s where a crossover comes in. Think of it like a traffic controller for sound. It takes the full audio signal and splits it, sending the low frequencies to the woofer, the high frequencies to the tweeter, and so on. A good crossover ensures that each driver only plays the sounds it’s best at, resulting in cleaner, clearer, and more accurate audio. Avalon Artists' Approach: Beyond the Basics There are a lot of crossovers out there. So, what makes Avalon Artists' different? It comes down to a relentless pursuit of perfection and a few key design philosophies. “We didn't want to just build ‘another’ crossover," explains lead engineer, Mark Olsen. “We wanted to build the best crossover. That meant rethinking every aspect of the design, from component selection to circuit topology." Here’s what sets Avalon Artists’ passive crossovers apart: Hand-Selected Components: Forget mass-produced, generic parts. Avalon Artists meticulously sources every component – resistors, capacitors, inductors – from leading manufacturers known for their quality and precision. We're talking audiophile-grade parts, rigorously tested to ensure optimal performance. “We’re not afraid to spend the extra money to get the best possible sound," Olsen confirms. Air-Core Inductors: Most inductors use an iron core, which can introduce distortion. Avalon Artists uses air-core inductors whenever possible. These offer significantly lower distortion and a more open, natural sound. “It’s a small detail, but it makes a huge difference," says designer Sarah Chen. Proprietary Circuit Topology: Avalon Artists hasn't just copied existing crossover designs. We’ve developed our own proprietary circuit topology, optimized for minimal signal loss and maximum accuracy. This involves careful consideration of phase response, impedance matching, and driver characteristics. “We spend a lot of time modeling and simulating different circuits before we even build a prototype," Chen explains. Point-to-Point Wiring: Instead of using printed circuit boards (PCBs), Avalon Artists’ crossovers are built using traditional point-to-point wiring. This minimizes signal degradation and allows for greater flexibility in circuit design. “It’s a more labor-intensive process, but the sonic benefits are undeniable," Olsen notes. Customizable Options: Avalon Artists understands that every speaker and listening environment is unique. That’s why we offer customizable crossover options, tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need a different slope, crossover frequency, or impedance matching, we can work with you to create the perfect solution. "We don't believe in one-size-fits-all," says Chen. The Result? Sound You Can Feel Avalon Artists’ passive crossovers aren’t just about technical specifications. They’re about experience. Customers are reporting significant improvements in sound quality, including: Increased Clarity and Detail: Hear subtle nuances in your music that you’ve never noticed before. More Accurate Imaging: Experience a wider, more realistic soundstage, with instruments and vocals precisely positioned in space. Deeper, More Powerful Bass: Enjoy rich, impactful bass that doesn’t muddy the midrange. Reduced Listening Fatigue: Listen for hours without feeling strained or tired. "I upgraded my speakers with Avalon Artists’ crossovers, and it was like hearing my music for the first time," says one satisfied customer, David R. from Seattle. "The difference is incredible. I can't believe how much better my system sounds." Who are these crossovers for?
