The Ovator S-600 is the result of a three-year development programme and represents both a remarkable new expression of proven Naim speaker engineering and a technological advance that, quite literally, recasts the accepted ground rules of electro-acoustics.
Constructed on the rigid foundation of a pressure die-cast aluminium plinth, the Ovator S-600 comprises a visually stunning leaf-spring decoupled enclosure fitted with two custom-designed rigid paper cone bass drivers. Located above the bass drivers, within a nested and leaf-sprung aluminium enclosure, is a uniquely advanced balanced mode radiator. The balanced mode radiator (BMR) reproduces all six octaves from the 380Hz crossover point to well above audibility with a flat frequency response, minimal distortion and consistently wide dispersion.
Encasing all of this, the Ovator S-600's striking, curved-panel enclosure is an outstanding example of contemporary aesthetic industrial design. Its form is striking yet subtle and with four real wood veneer finishes available it integrates effortlessly into domestic settings of any style.
Music heard through the Ovator S-600 is a revelation. The uncoloured, detailed and natural coherence of the balanced mode radiator combines with the rhythmic clarity and accuracy of the twin bass driver system endlessly to reveal previously unheard musical details and insight. Stereo imagery and recorded ambience is portrayed with scale and depth that remains consistent across the listening room, and with the Ovator S-600 an entire music collection becomes new again. The speaker is the point at which recorded music leaves the virtual world of electronics and is made real. With the Ovator S-600, the reality is a musical experience unlike any heard before.
