Flavio Naggi, overseas sales manager, states, "Our FaitalPRO brand has been on the market for just five years, but we are already appreciated worldwide as a reference point for professional neodymium loudspeakers and are now meeting the requests of numerous clients in the PA and SR areas with the launch of many new products in Ferrite.
"We are offering our clients an alternative based on new, soft and refined acoustic tonalities: the current product range will remain and the new families with a ferrite heart will join them to complete a now very extensive catalogue."
This launch will not only respond to budget related issues: many clients had already requested them also for challenges regarding acoustics and weight: for example, in many fixed installations, where there is the need to keep a sub that vibrates at frequencies around 40-50 Hz 'on the ground', a ferrite loudspeaker is more appropriate for this than its - much too light - neodymium counterpart.
Flavio Naggi emphasises,"It is important to note that the new ferrite loudspeaker families are not just 'low cost options' compared to the neodymium series. They are products for those who put a lot of passion into their work, that have similar performance potential, but whose magnet assemblies in ferrite behave in a different way.
"In theory, if we should compare two loudspeakers with identical moving assemblies, one with a ferrite magnet assembly and one in neodymium -placed in identical enclosures- we would realise that a substantial difference in tonality exists due to the structure of the ceramic magnet assembly, peculiar in generating a constant magnetic field."
Further details of the new FaitalPRO loudspeaker models in ferrite, which will will fall in every category from low to mid and high frequency reproduction, will be released shortly.
