The materials and constructions chosen for a GamuT
product will make it last a life time and give you years of
musical enjoyment. Thank you for choosing a GamuT
product.
With an optimized production setup we can now offer this
exquisite, strong, and inert enclosure solution for music
lover to enjoy outstanding performance from real world
priced speakers.
Having the new improved sonic foundation from the
laminated form pressed enclosure; we have done our
utmost to optimize other components used, to obtain an
absolute maximum of performance.
We designed a new woofer and midrange driver based
on a wood fiber cone structure, using a size optimized
inverted spike dust cap, a low distorting magnet system
using aluminum shorting rings, and a dynamic linear
suspension. We finished off the performance by hand
doping the cones with our proprietary organic leather oil
treatment, first used for our El Superiores mid/woofer
drivers.
Our tweeter is our well known dual ring tweeter, now
taken to new heights by an optimized version of the NRLI
network.
The NRLI network is assuring seem less integration
between the woofers, midrange and tweeter, by creating
a Non-Resonant perfectly Linked Impulse reproduction.
NRLI
We also optimized the internal acoustics. The new less
resonant character of the enclosure lets us minimize the
use of acoustic damping to obtain a higher level of impact
and dynamic accuracy, as well as improving the quality
and level of bass reproduction.
The Combination of all of the advantages from the new
enclosure, the new higher performing bass/mid drivers,
the optimized NRLI network and the new impulse
accurate internal acoustics, lifts the performance of the
new Phi’s way above what can be expected in this size
and price range, and gives the Phi’s a performance level
belonging to the top of audiophile musical speakers.
A speaker is an acoustic instrument; it will work with your
room and generate a combined character. To minimize the
negative influence from the room and optimize the linearity
of the combined reproduction please follow the simple
guide lines below.
To fine trim the performance, go to the advanced setup
section. Distances are measured from the Tweeter.
Minimum recommendations in a regular setup
Distance to side walls: 4’ or 1,2m
Distance to the rear wall: 3’ 4” or 1,0m
With the “Narrow room” setup (excessive toe-in where
axis meet in front of the listening position)
Distance to side walls: 2’ 4”
Distance to the rear wall: 4’or 1,2m
With both the regular setup and the Narrow room setup,
position you speaker a minimum of 10’ or 3m apart and
the listening position a minimum of 10’ or 3m from the
speaker.
With a regular setup point the speaker straight forward
With the Narrow room setup (where the 3’ clearance to
the side room cannot be achieved, requires a 16’ wall
distance) toe-in the speakers so that the axis of the
tweeter is crossing app. 2’-3’ or 60-90 cm in front of the
listening position
Adjust the spikes so that a line starting from the top point
of the Midrange (the driver below the tweeter), and run-
ning in parallel with the top of the speaker, is pointing to
your ear height in the listening position.
If trimming of the bass, midrange or tweeter level is
needed; you can adjust the Bass balance by changing the
position of the speaker, the midrange character by ad-
justing the tilt of the speaker, and the tweeter level by
adjusting the toe-in. Visit the advanced setup section for
