3 Form and function HOLM Acoustics introduces a completely new approach to sound reproduction. Processes and technologies used to bring music to your ears have been carefully reviewed, and the best and most innovative technology has been applied. HOLM Acoustics is now making it possible to deliver music that is exactly, as the artist wanted you to experience it. Close your eyes and let the music move you. The design is sleek and yet audacious: Hard-wearing, polished and anodised aluminium; surprisingly generous curves and hand-selected Italian leather is a powerful mix that is sure to catch attention. The strip of laser-cut, full grain leather which runs across the unit, makes each one as individual as a fingerprint. The buttons are hidden away underneath the smooth leather. Simply press the embossed symbols and the system will respond to your wishes. Simplicity in daily use is achieved by the limited number of functions operated on the panel or the potent remote control. Advanced functions and programming is enabled by connecting the system to your personal computer. It is done in seconds. The HOLM Acoustics system can be programmed to match your individual preferences and the acoustic properties of your home. This is achieved by Digital Signal Processing (DSP) that gives you almost unlimited freedom to adjust the sound and correct reproduction problems. The HOLM Acoustics sound system is peerless: An unprecedented fusion of form and function.

4 freedom of choice DSPre 1 DSPre 1 is the preamplifier and the cornerstone in the HOLM Acoustics of input from both digital and analogue sources. The domestic computer product range. It is an incredibly flexible preamplifier that can optimize has grown to be one of the most important music sources, and therefore the sound in any system. DSPre 1 operates on a digital platform with up USB audio is integrated directly into the DSPre 1, giving you a number of to six channels of high performance Digital Signal Processing. This gives options. DSPre 1 can handle any audio format stored on your computer or you a wealth of options for adjustments, equalization and correction. All internet based radio. It can also be used when you want to record audio onto parameters can be set individually on each loudspeaker driver which gives your computer. When you plug in the USB cable, DSPre 1 is automatically an enormous flexibility, and makes it possible to place the optimum listening recognised by the computer as a sound card and is ready to play. No driver position almost anywhere in the room - allowing YOU to position the sweet installation is necessary. The USB connection is also used to configure the spot. Digital Signal Processing within the DSPre 1. High performance Digital Signal Processing controls the quality and timing of all input signals and enables the speaker system to recreate the sound and 3-way speaker systems. DSPre 1 is upgradeable in case you change The module based DSPre 1 can be configured to accommodate 1-way, 2-way from the original recording. The quality of the sound reproduction from all speaker system, or if you want to upgrade to future improvements on input sources connected to DSPre 1 is optimised in order to enhance the joy of listening. The DSPre 1 is very accommodating and can handle an ample or output modules. variety

5 CD 1 clockwork precision Reading error-free data from a CD is the most important function for a CD transport. CD 1 uses leading edge technology to read and transmit data as correctly and error-free as achievable today. The result is a reproduction that conserves the sound and experience from the original recording of the music. CD 1 separates the reading of disc data from the digital output stream. Data is pre-read into a large buffer, which subsequently feeds output in a constant stream controlled by a high performance clock. The buffer allows CD 1 to re-read data from the CD, if a read error is detected. The system re-reads until data is retrieved correctly, otherwise, before the buffer runs low, the music data is interpolated. An automatic fade function allows you to change tracks on the CD without uncomfortable and abrupt shifts in volume. CD 1 will gradually fade the volume down and then up, when you go fast forward or change track.

The result is a reproduction that conserves the sound and experience from the original recording of the music. CD 1 separates the reading of disc data from the digital output stream.

6 power in sound amp 1 Power Amplifier Amp 1 is a power amplifier with a concept that differs from most other AMP 1 is modular with 1, 2 or 3 power amplifiers in the same cabinet depending on the speaker system and comes in the following configurations: systems in the market: In order to convey a life-like music experience, the HOLM Acoustics speaker system is based on a tri-amplification system that utilises separate power amplifiers for bass, midrange and tweeter. 3-way: 500W + 200W + 200W This has lead to the introduction of the Side Amp concept, where power for 2-way : 500W + 200W one loudspeaker side is contained in one cabinet. This enables a completely 1-way : 500W independent equalisation of each speaker, and sound reproduction in one stereo channel does not affect the other channel. Working with two Side Amp cabinets is an advantage when the system is wired. The two AMP 1 units can be placed beside the DSPre 1 preamplifier or close to the SP 1 loudspeakers. This last option minimises the length of heavy loudspeaker SPEAKER CABLES cable. the audio highway The AMP 1 uses second generation ICE-power amplifier modules from Bang & Olufsen. ICE-power amplifiers are compact and deliver superior Delivering the sound to your speakers is normally done by plain looking sound quality. plastic insulated cables. Option is to show off or hide away. HOLM Acoustics has created a remarkable leather cable which is so unique and beauti- A music signal detection circuit turns the amplifier on or off. When the system detects a signal it will turn on the AMP 1. If no signal is detected for ful that it can be displayed as a decorative item. The speaker cables come in three minutes, the AMP 1 will shut down. The music detect feature can be 1, 2 or 3-way to suit your system. The leather cables are fitted with silver activated or disabled as you please. conductors for treble and oxygen free copper for midrange and bass.

system that utilises separate power amplifiers for bass, midrange and tweeter.

7 pure sound SP 1 SP 1 is a state-of-the-art loudspeaker designed to reproduce music as faithful to the original recording as one can imagine. The 3-way, tri-amplifier driven speaker system, which separates sound into bass, midrange and tweeter, enables an extremely precise and detailed reproduction of sound - whether it is classical music or heavy metal. The sound is clear and crisp, yet the reproduction of bass notes gives the sound both volume and body. SP 1 produces a sound image with ample detail, which allows you to actually distinguish and experience the individual artist. Combined in SP 1 are a number of special features, and a patent application has been filed for the unique woofer configuration: Recoil Cancellation. Vibrations in the woofer system are virtually eliminated, which allows for a much clearer sound reproduction of midrange and tweeter. The Recoil Cancellation also ensures that no vibrations are transferred to the floor in the room. SP 1 has two midrange units and one tweeter. The layout is the so called d Appolito configuration, where the tweeter is placed in the middle of the two midrange units. The d Appolito setup has a number of advantages: reduced distortion, improved stereo image and a large listening sweet spot. The oval shape of the cabinet is not only beautiful, but also designed to reduce vibrations and internal cabinet echoes a feature which is further enhanced by internal bracing and a thick absorbing coating on the inner walls. On the outside, the walls are covered in first class Italian leather to match the other HOLM Acoustics units. Together with the enormous flexibility of the HOLM Acoustics DSPre 1 preamplifier, the tidy CD transport CD 1 and specialized power amplifier AMP 1, SP 1 can deliver a completely neutral and accurate soundstage, or work as a loyal assistant for the perfect setup of your personal sound.
