Tymphany Corporation Merges Renowned Peerless and Vifa Audio Transducers Under Peerless Brand; Vifa Products, Combined With Innovative New Peerless Offerings, Make Peerless Line One of the Most Comprehensive in the Industry.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- Tymphany(TM) Corporation, a leader in innovative audio solutions, today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the merger of its Peerless and Vifa audio transducer transducer, device that accepts an input of energy in one form and produces an output of energy in some other form, with a known, fixed relationship between the input and output. brands into one comprehensive line of high-quality transducers to be marketed under the Peerless brand. At the same time, the company introduced several innovative new Peerless products for the home and car audio markets. "The merger of these two revered brands completes a union that began several years ago when Peerless and Vifa, two independent Danish audio transducer companies, merged," said Tonni Birk, managing director, Tymphany Denmark. "With this new merger, we are leveraging the unique technologies, intellectual property and engineering talents of the Peerless and Vifa teams to develop audio transducers that will set new industry standards for quality and price/performance. Under a single brand, we now can focus these innovations even more effectively into the marketplace." Beginning immediately, Vifa products will be identified as the Peerless v-line of quality audio transducers. Tymphany has created an updated logo to reflect the rich heritage of these two brands and to make the former Vifa products easy to identify within the Peerless product line. New Peerless Offerings Tymphany continues to push the performance limits for subwoofers with two new offerings under the Peerless Xpanded Xtra Long Stroke (XXLS) subwoofer A speaker that reproduces the lower end of the audio spectrum. A subwoofer system may include a crossover circuit which switches frequencies at approximately 100Hz and under to the subwoofer, while passing the rest of the signal to the main speakers. line. New 10- and 12-inch XXLS transducers feature Titanium anodized aluminum cones that are designed for active and passive high-end subwoofer applications, such as THX A design system that provides realistic sound playback for movie and home theater from THX, Ltd., San Rafael, CA (www.thx.com), an independent spin-off from Lucasfilm, Ltd. The THX Sound System was developed during the production of the Return of the Jedi in 1982 and named after George home theatre and Dolby Digital A digital audio encoding system from Dolby used in movie and home theaters. First used in 1995, Dolby Digital employs Dolby's AC-3 (Audio Coding-3) coding and compression technology and is the standard for DVD-Video and HDTV. 5. . In keeping with the design characteristics of the line, these new XXLS transducers yield very precise low frequency reproduction. They provide unmatched low harmonic distortion In communications, unwanted frequencies that are generated as multiples of the original frequency due to irregularities in the transmission line. In audio amplifiers, harmonic distortion comes from non-uniform operation (non-linearity) in the amplifier circuits. See harmonic. under long excursion and high power handling and, because of break-up modes that move to above 1000 Hz, perform very well at high frequencies. New 5- and 6.5-inch Standard Long Stroke (SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) See laser sintering and 3D printing. ) subwoofer drive units complete the Peerless SLS line, which is recognized for unparalleled performance, the best power handling, and the lowest frequencies of any small-size driver on the market. The new transducers are designed for active and passive subwoofer applications, providing extremely deep bass, high reliability, high power handling and low distortion under very loud sound pressure. In addition to the new Peerless subwoofer products, Tymphany also announced a new Peerless High Definition Sound (HDS (Hitachi Data Systems, Santa Clara, CA, www.hds.com) A leading provider of high-end storage hardware, software and services. Part of the Information Systems & Telecommunications Division of Hitachi Ltd. ) dome tweeter tweeter - woofer that optimizes tweeter design to achieve a high degree of pure and clean sound reproduction for demanding home entertainment, studio monitors and general hi-fi systems. The new HDS tweeter -- a great companion to the well-known and acclaimed Peerless HDS woofers -- features a very light/low mass 'soft dome' with high internal damping and a highly optimized low compression magnet system. The low mass dome is coupled to a fully vented motor system in order to provide non-compressed sound reproduction over the entire frequency response. The result is a driver that offers both good sensitivity combined with low resonance frequency so that the tweeter can be used in systems with lower cross over points than normally recommended for conventional tweeters. The new Peerless products will be featured in Tymphany's Suite at the Las Vegas Hilton The Las Vegas Hilton is a hotel, casino, and convention center in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a joint venture between Colony Capital, which owns 60 percent, and New York City-based REIT Whitehall Street Real Estate Funds, which owns the remaining 40 percent. , #2822. "These new Peerless products represent several unique technological achievements on sound reproduction and quality that are truly the result of 80 years of experience developing audio transducers," said Carsten Tinggaard, Chief Engineer. "And now with the combined acoustical knowledge and design expertise of the Peerless and Vifa teams working for them, our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers can look forward to a steady stream of audio innovations from Peerless." Availability The new Peerless offerings are fully customizable by Tymphany's acoustic engineering experts to meet the unique needs and requirements of an OEM customer's application. In addition, standard versions of these products will be available through Tymphany's worldwide distribution network. First samples will be available the end of January for the HDS dome tweeter; by the end of February for the XXLS subwoofer; and by mid-March for the SLS subwoofer.
