Occyrhoe the carnivore
" Allons cueille, cueille les roses, les roses
Roses de la vie
Et que leurs pétales
Soient la mer étale
De tous les bonheurs "
R. Queneau - Si tu t'imagines
"Go on, pick up, pick up the roses, the roses
Roses of life
And do their petals
Be the pedestal
Of all your delight"
R. Queneau - Just imagine
A plant with a perfume to be savoured by the ears, Occyhroé was conceived to be a permanent blooming. The form of the resulting cone favours the firmness of sound. Like an orchid, Occyrhoé unfolds itself and offers the listener a smooth and perfumed sound.
A progressive roughness causes the layer limiting the move, and the sound waves are displaced on a cushion of air. |
Description of the casing
This speaker system is made of terra cotta with a lacquered finish offering layers of roughness. It is supported by a monolithic leg in blue granite.
Occyrhoe is airy and light in its presentation. |
Like a flower on its stem, the cone's spiral is suspended and held up by its base. |
The support and the cone are in contrast, as much in their curves as in their colours.
Technical characteristics
Occyrhoé is a 2-way speaker with coaxial speakers. The asymmetrical cone fashions the directivity for optimal performances.
The rough surface of the cone at the pass and smoothed towards the exterior creates a limit layer favouring the transmission of energy from the speaker to the listening space.
The bass-reflex bass load increases the admissible power and the bandwidth in the lower spectrum.
The defined characteristics are given for a single element.
