MOON II
Meet the HANOWA MOON II, a bi-directional ribbon super-tweeter designed from the ground up to deliver pristine sound that extends the edge of the soundstage with better clarity and allows you to find a sonic sweet spot.
初识HANOWA的MOON II,这是一款双向发声丝带超级高音扬声器,在提供还原原始声音同时,以更好的清晰度延伸拓展声场,以达到声音最佳表现度。
Both the front and rear tweeters of the MOON II are made of an extremely thin, four-micron polyetherimide diaphragm that is also extremely lightweight.
MOON II的前置和后置高音喇叭的聚醚酰亚胺振膜,厚度仅四微米,极薄,极轻。
Five crossovers points are operating at 10kHz /12kHz /14kHz /16kHz / 20kHz and MOON II between 8kHz-60kHz with a maximum peak power of 124dB.
MOON II设有五个分频点,分别是:10kHz /12kHz /14kHz /16kHz / 20kHz。频率响应不仅可以从8kHz平稳延伸至60kHz,峰值输出更可达124dB。
Frequencies above 8 kHz can be perceived by most people with healthy and preserved hearing, but some people with exceptional hearing abilities can distinguish much higher frequencies. Even though these high frequencies are not audible to the listener, they affect the overall sound quality of music reproduction, especially when it comes to the harmonics and overtones of musical instruments.
Musical instruments produce complex sounds composed of many different frequencies, and some of these frequencies extend into the ultrasonic range. Even though we cannot hear these ultrasonic frequencies directly, they can interact with audible frequencies to produce a richer and more detailed sound. When these high frequencies are capped, altered, or removed from music, the sound can become monotonous and lifeless.
乐器会产生由许多不同频率组成的复杂声音,其中一些频率可延伸到超声波范围。尽管我们无法直接听到这些超声波频率,但它们可以与可听频率相互作用,融合产生更丰富、更细腻的声音。当这些高频被限制、改变或从音乐中去除时,声音可能会变得单调乏味。
A well-designed audio system strives to reproduce the original timbre as accurately as possible, and that begins and ends with the speakers.
一个精心设计的音响系统力求尽可能准确地再现原始音色,并由音响作为主角贯穿始终。
The quality of loudspeakers depends heavily on the selection of their components. Each component of a speaker, such as a driver, crossover, and cabinet, can affect timbre and spaciousness in different ways. For example, the size and material of the speaker cone affect the harmonic content of the sound wave it produces, while the design of the crossover affects the balance and coherence of the sound across different frequencies.
The selection of high-quality components, proper voicing, etc., are critical to accurate sound reproduction and faithful timbre and spatial imaging.
高品质组件的选择、适当的调音等对于准确的声音再现、音色和立体成像的忠实还原有着至关重要的作用。
While component selection should follow many trustworthy criteria, this is not always the case, as all too often the corners are cut in order to achieve better margins, which affects the final sound. Instead of improving the sonic capabilities, it hampers the performance.
音响组件选材也是门大学问,并非每家都能坚持选用高端材料。一些厂家为了获得更好的利润,通常会侥幸减低配置,以至于不能提高声音能力,降低了音响性能。

The Conclusion 结论
Among the various aspects of audio quality, the extended soundstage effect is a significant factor that can greatly enhance the listening experience and HANOWA MOON II can have a considerable "saying" in this regard.
在音质的各个方面中,扩展的声场效果是一个重要因素,可以极大地增强聆听体验,HANOWA MOON II在这方面有相当大的“发言权”。
The enticing illusion of music reproduction depends on many factors. Not all loudspeakers are capable of providing a sense of space that depicts a large acoustic environment in which the music can spread freely, with enough space to present the instruments, voices, orchestra, etc., at an appropriate scale. Certain loudspeakers can enhance the effect of sound staging, while others simply conceal the sound space and make the music fade within the physical limitations of the loudspeaker enclosure.
音乐再现的诱人幻觉取决于许多因素。并不是所有的音响效果都能够营造一种空间感,这种空间感也可以理解为一个大的声学环境,在这个环境中,音乐可以自由传播,有足够的空间以适当的比例呈现乐器、声音、管弦乐队等。只有少部分音响能增强声音的舞台效果,大多数的音响无法塑造完美的声音空间感,音乐效果在箱体的物理限制中衰减。
The HANOWA MOON II expands the soundstage and increases the sense of space, and depth, and introduces a higher level of acoustic cues. It also helps to create a three-dimensional sound image that simulates a richer spatial arrangement, with a more accurate and detailed reproduction of the high-frequency range.
HANOWA MOON II扩展了声场,增加了空间感和深度感,并加入了更高级别的声学信号。这有助于创建一个三维声像,模拟更丰富的空间分布,更准确、更细腻地再现高频范围。
The HANOWA MOON II features a unique (due to many given controls on the front and back) adjustable dispersion pattern that spreads music waves in a wide, horizontal arc, creating an enticing sonic illusion with a surprisingly Technicolor-like timbre. This effect is instantly audible with high-pitched instruments such as trumpets, violins, flutes, etc.
HANOWA MOON II拥有独特的多项目调节功能(前面板和后面板都有调节旋钮),可以将声波以水平弧线向两边延展传播,创造出一种诱人的声音幻觉,呈现出令人惊喜的多彩音色。这种效果在高音乐器如小号、小提琴、长笛等演奏时便可以听到。
The higher density of HANOWA MOON II also introduces a greater amount of acoustic cues into the sound sphere, allowing subtle variations in timing, phase, and frequency to form a different kind of soundscape.
HANOWA MOON II的高密度性也将更多的声学信号引入声域,支撑时间、相位和频率的细微变化,从而形成不同类型的声景。
When properly placed in a finely tuned listening room and audio system, the HANOWA MOON II speakers allow the listener a much greater sense of virtual space and a more vivid positioning of instruments. The finer resolution of MOON II results in a more grain-free sound, allowing a greater distance between the instruments and the performers.
当HANOWA MOON II超高音被正确放置在经过微调的听音室和音响系统中时,听众可以获得更大的虚拟空间感和更生动的乐器空间定位。拥有更精细分辨率的MOON II可以无损传输还原原声,支持乐器和演奏者之间的更大距离。
In a studio environment, proper formation of higher frequencies is paramount, and various types of studio EQ are always used sparingly. Even the slightest adjustment can drastically affect not only the higher frequencies but also the overall aural impression and sense of depth.
在录音室环境中,正确形成超高频是至关重要的,但各类型的录音室总是很少使用EQ。即使是最轻微的调整也会极大地影响超高频,甚至还会影响整体的听觉印象和深度感。
When the sonic balance is adjusted with great care, it can provide the listener with a more immersive and lifelike listening experience, and this is where the HANOWA MOON II fits greatly.
当精调声音平衡时,MOON II可以为听众提供更身临其境、栩栩如生的聆听体验, HANOWA MOON II是非常适合在录音室使用的。
There is much ongoing research on the effects of the listening experience above the human hearing threshold range. Even though we cannot directly hear frequencies above 20 kHz, their presence can still have a significant impact on the overall sound quality of music reproduction. This is closely related to the higher harmonics and consequently also affects the golden trinity of timbre, tone, and color.
关于人类听觉阈值范围以上的听觉体验的影响,有很多正在进行的研究。尽管我们无法直接听到20 kHz以上的频率,但它们的存在仍然会对音乐再现的整体音质产生重大影响。这与高次谐波密切相关,也会影响到音质、音调和音色的黄金三位一体。
Due to various limitations, design choices, or component selections, many speakers can benefit from the MOON II's ability to enhance high frequencies, even if we can not hear them directly. When higher frequencies are grain-free, the absence of distortion and artifacts in and above the audible range results in a cleaner and more accurate sound.
各种因素的限制、设计方向选择或组件选材等导致许多音响系统的高频缺乏,这部分可以从MOON II超高音上得到补齐,即使我们无法直接听到这些超高频。当更高的频率实现无损时,在听觉阈值范围内以及以上的频率没有失真和杂音情况下,产生的声音更干净、更准确。
The HANOWA MOON II speakers' unique ability to extend the often-desired soundstage effect while keeping timbre intact has earned them a Highly Recommended Award.
HANOWA MOON II超高音拥有非凡的能力能够在保持音色不变的同时扩展人们通常想要的声场效果,因此获得Mono & Stereo的“强烈推荐产品奖”。
