LS1c

Name: Grimm Audio LS1C Loudspeaker System
Brand: Grimm Audio
Price: 24180.00 GBP
Availability: OutOfStock

The LS1c is the flagship of our LS1 active loudspeaker series. It is named after the revolutionary TPCD Carbon Composite tweeter that we developed in cooperation with driver manufacturer Seas. Even more important is that we rebuilt all elements of the LS1 design from the ground up: the electronics with latest generation amplifiers, the audio DSP code, the computer aided calibration method, the firmware and the PC/Mac software that controls the entire system. To pick just one example, with the knowledge we gained from developing the MU1 and MU2 FPGA Pure Nyquist filters, we were able to dramatically improve the crossover phase correction filters of the LS1c’s DSP.

As result, the LS1c offers an incredible level of integration over the full frequency band – a loudspeaker has never sounded so much ‘as one’. Its rendering of the stereo image appears more tactile than ever, its capability for microdynamics exposes unheard details and its extraordinary phase coherency reveals the subtlest rhythmic structures. At the same time the natural, non-fatiguing sound of the LS1c invites one to long listening sessions.

“All elements of the LS1 design were rebuilt from the ground up.”

At the low end of the frequency spectrum, the elegant Digital Motional Feedback SB1 subwoofer offers unparalleled bass. Our unique motion feedback technology lowers the distortion by 30 dB and places the resonance frequency below 20 Hz. Bass has never sounded so detailed and controlled.

A natural companion for the LS1c is the MU1 music player that allows control of all loudspeaker parameters. But an LS1c is equally happy when combined with the LS1r controller and the LS1i USB interface. The cabinet can be ordered in a stylish ‘Hi-Macs’ synthetic stone finish, or in our traditional bamboo veneer or lacquer look.

About the Brand

Grimm Audio was founded in 2004 and is based in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. Our initial aim was to combine the mastery of the greatest minds of audio experts, and we continue to do so. All Grimm Audio products carry the joined insight of well known scientists in the fields of audio electronics, acoustics and physics, fused with an intuition built on the experience of many years of focussed listening, professional engineering and audiophile enthusiasm.

Our first product, the AD1 discrete 1 bit analog to digital converter, is still the benchmark for sound quality. A classical music label like Channel Classics has reinforced its reputation using this converter. While refining the AD1’s clock circuitry, the CC1 master clock was developed, that is measured as being the lowest jitter master clock in the professional audio industry. It serves as the digital heart beat of many studios around the world.

For the famous Wisseloord studios in the Netherlands the TPR series of studio cables was developed, offering neutral performance for an affordable price. Next came the flagship product of Grimm Audio, the LS1 playback system. Critically acclaimed as “the world’s best complete audio system” it serves as a reference in a variety of studios and as a source for musical enjoyment in many living rooms. The MU1 Music Player takes its performance yet one step further up, leading on a new road to perfection. And the MU2 Streaming DAC is the next milestone on that road.

Grimm Audio uses the highest level of technical and audiophile knowledge to build audio equipment that has no equivalent.
