Salagar will be unveiling their new Symphony S210 powered loudspeakers at the Denver Rocky Mountain Audiofest later this week. You probably noticed that the Symphony S210 along with Salagar’s other speakers resemble the shape of most string instruments. This is no accident, as Salagar claims that, "This design facilitates an even distribution of cabinet stress, realized by creating a curved walled, airtight vessel, to dramatically reduce cabinet coloration for high quality sound production across all audible frequencies."
The Symphony S210 also has a couple high-tech tricks up its sleeve. The loudspeaker comes with X-ACT, an active digital crossover with four different selectable programs that process inputs at 24 bit 96 KHz sampling. The Symphony S210 also utilizes Bang & Olufsen’s Class D ICEpower amplification technology with internally mounted amplifiers to power the loudspeakers. Traditional speaker wire connections are replaced with one simple balanced XLR connection per side.
A Salager BL-1 Interface device can be used to convert the standard stereo mini-jack output used on MP3 players such as the iPod to balanced XLR outputs for the S210’s. The BL-1 can also convert standard RCA cables from audio sources to balanced XLR outputs.
The S210 loudspeakers are available directly from Salagar for $7,999 per pair. There are a multitude of paint and wood finishes available and the speakers’ front baffle can be customized with leather, mother-of-pearl and 24k gold plating for an additional charge. Speaker stands are sold separately and the BL-1 Interface will cost you $149.95.
