TIRADUR
The cabinet of the TIDAL Piano is made out of TIDAL’s proprietary cabinet material TIRADUR. This cabinet material does combines the rigidity of hard materials such as metal with the resonance absorbing behavior of softer materials such as wooden materials like MDF.It is the only advanced cabinet material allowing to use organic surfaces such as our famous polished veneers, as well as true polyester piano lacquer. So when you see the Piano in the most beautiful pyramided mahogany, ebony macassar or our shiny black piano finish – don’t make the mistake to think the cabinet is out of wooden materials or MDF. And yes, this is why such a modest sized speaker weighs a whopping 65 Kg (143 lbs.).

CERAMIC GRAPHITE TWEETER
TIDAL Piano or TIDAL Piano Diacera – the visually most obvious difference is the 30mm (1.2″) tweeter. In the TIDAL Piano it is a graphite coated ceramic tweeter. Of course there is more than that, since we do design for every tweeter/midrange combination the perfect passive crossover layout, and not just simply switch/offer two different tweeters.This particular tweeter does not lack of any excellence at all and offers the entry into the world of TIDAL loudspeakers. It is housed in the very same massive stainless steel part such as the diamond version and therefor free of compromises, such as every detail of a TIDAL loudspeaker.

DIAMOND TWEETER
The noble version of the Piano traditionally has the name DIACERA and uses the very same Accuton 30mm pure diamond diaphragm tweeter like from our top models. Not only it is the biggest diamond tweeter in the world, TIDAL also was the very first company at all using a 30mm diamond tweeter. While the driver itself offers already terrific qualities and is being installed in a massive housing out of polished stainless steel for optimized resonance control – only in combination with our unique TIDAL crossovers this driver can perform in way what we have become famous for.Maybe interesting to know on a side note: this very same diamond tweeter technology is being used also in the worlds most exclusive car, the Bugatti Chiron.

BCC MIDRANGE WOOFER
TIDAL’s exclusive BCC driver technology is the result of the Accuton TIDAL cooperation for more than a decade and are to find only in TIDAL speakers. The diaphragm itself is a special coated black ceramic diaphragm and uses a long excursion motor design perfectly designed for the two identical driver chambers.Embedded in a special shaped ring out of hand polished massive stainless steel to avoid reflections from the protection grill. Needless to say that this driver does guarantee absolutely no compromise for the performance and reliability.

PASSIVE CROSSOVER
Mounted in a hermetically shielded chamber: pure copper foil capacitors, coils of the same caliber, silver-carbon resistors – only the finest components with proven long time stability are used for our crossovers. Unfortunately, these components are also the most expensive ones and are custom-built for TIDAL. Whether any part must be that expensive is a meaningless question and, for one thing, not one that should arise from budgetary restraints. Only the final result is what counts to us and considerations of cost do not enter into the equation.Our guiding principle is to present our customers with the highest possible degree of reality in musical rendition. Anything less is already amply available but does not meet TIDAL’s demands. That is why literally every component is scrutinously evaluated and selected on the understanding that it has be the one without alternative for its specific purpose. So for example even our smallest speaker is equipped with massive DUELUND copper capacitors.

VARIO FEET
As option the Piano could be equipped with 4 massive aluminum isolation feet per speaker. Each of it is milled out of a massive block of aluminum and available in two versions: hand polished silver and covered with a special coating avoiding any kind of oxidation or with a black structured hard coating. Just slide the picture at the right side to see: one could mount the speakers in a parallel or sloped position.Needless to say that even these parts are 100% made in Germany.

About

TIDAL CONTRIVA

The all new successor of the worldwide praised TIDAL Contriva Diacera SE. We did not let things as they were, all is completely new with the Contriva G2. Like with iconic design classics improving does not mean changing. It means making dimensions and proportions better while strictly continuing and following the generic and unique design of it.

The cabinet is made out of TIRADUR™, TIDAL’s proprietary cabinet material for this 102 Kg beauty. Also we equipped it with all new TIDAL-BCC drivers, a complete new cross-over design and an all new terminal with TIDAL’s completely new pure silver binding posts. The result is the very best midsize speaker we ever built.

TIRADUR CABINET
The cabinet of the TIDAL Contriva is made out of TIDAL’s proprietary cabinet material TIRADUR. This cabinet material does combines the rigidity of hard materials such as metal with the resonance absorbing behavior of softer materials such as wooden materials like MDF.

BCC MIDRANGE WOOFER
TIDAL’s exclusive BCC driver technology is the result of the Accuton TIDAL cooperation for more than a decade and are to find only in TIDAL speakers. The diaphragm itself is a special coated black ceramic diaphragm and uses a “short coil / long gap” neodymium motor perfectly designed for the hermetically sealed and asymmetrical designed midrange chamber of the Contriva.
Embedded in a special shaped ring out of hand polished massive stainless steel to avoid reflections form the protection grill, needless to say that this driver does guarantee absolutely no compromise for the performance and reliability.
BCC WOOFERS
Also the woofers in the TIDAL Contriva are the exclusive BCC drivers and are to find only in this very particular TIDAL speaker. The drivers was designed to play within the vented bass chamber with its big inner volume to play extremely deep, fast and without compression, at lowest and highest reproduction level.
The motor allows a very long and linear excursion of the both side coated black ceramic diaphragm, the hardest and yet lightest diaphragm technology in this size on earth yet.
TIDAL AEROTUNE
The TIDAL Contriva is designed to be adapted for the deep bass response with our unique AEROTUNE system at the backside of the speaker, to play perfect at any room.
The massive ring out of hand polished stainless steel is not only our famous detail and does reflect our love to details, it is designed to control fluctuations from the air and does clamp the bass reflex port out of non-resonating material absolutely tight in to the TIRADUR cabinet.
PASSIVE CROSSOVER
Mounted in a hermetically shielded chamber: pure copper foil capacitors, coils of the same caliber, silver-carbon resistors – only the finest components with proven long time stability are used for our crossovers. Unfortunately, these components are also the most expensive ones and are custom-built for TIDAL.

That is why literally every component is scrutinously evaluated and selected on the understanding that it has be the one without alternative for its specific purpose.
VARIO TERMINAL
Like all TIDAL loudspeakers the Contriva has our unique pure silver binding posts. The complex construction out of a fibre-reinforced polymeric material avoids any inductive electromagnetic field and as conductor we use pure silver to guarantee the most little resistance and no loss nor change of the incoming music signal.
The massive metal feel of the knobs itself is coming from that it is hand polished and structured aluminum over an isolating part out of another polymer. The Contriva does allow single-amping, passive bi-amping and active bi-amping and the adjustment curve of the diamond tweeter.
VARIO FEET
As option the Contriva could be equipped with 4 massive aluminum isolation feet per speaker. Each of it is milled out of a massive block of aluminum and available in two versions: hand polished silver and covered with a special coating avoiding any kind of oxidation or with a black structured hard coating.
One could mount the speakers in a parallel or sloped position. Needless to say that these massive metal parts are 100% made in Germany.

About

TIDAL AGORIA

The TIDAL Agoria – our statement in the fullsize class of reference speakers. It is the first speaker with a cabinet made out of TIRALIT™, an all exclusive TIDAL cabinet material, which combines ultimate stiffness and resonance control. The unique configuration of two eleven inch woofers and three eleven inch passive sub-bass radiators in CIC configuration is unique and does guarantee with our BCC drivers and the pure diamond tweeter a most natural performance with extremely powerful headroom.

Right with its premiere the Agoria got almost countless references, reviews, Best Sound of Show’s and awards. “I have never heard such specific imaging and accurate timbres from so large a box speaker. Scarily good, with razor sharp dynamics. Tidal’s magnificent Agoria have dynamics par excellence, real heft in the bass, and a wonderful soundstage, but it was the timbral accuracy and imaging that really wowed me. Sublime.”

Description

TIRALIT™ CABINETThe cabinet of the TIDAL Agoria is made out of TIDAL’s proprietary cabinet material TIRALIT. This cabinet material does combines the rigidity of hard materials such as metal with the resonance absorbing behavior of softer materials such as wooden materials like MDF. While TIRADUR is 30mm thick, TIRALIT goes even further and is 42mm thick and combines more single layers. The materials itself, the process of making it and how the material reacts when it is getting excited by vibrations and resonances – all this we putted into consideration when we designed it.
It is the only advanced cabinet material allowing to use organic surfaces such as our famous polished veneers, as well as true polyester piano lacquer. So when you see the Agoria in our most beautiful veneers or our shiny black piano finish – don’t make the mistake to think the cabinet is out of wooden materials or MDF.

The motor allows a very long and linear excursion of the both side coated black ceramic diaphragm, the hardest and yet lightest diaphragm technology in this size on earth yet.
PASSIVE RADIATORSThe TIDAL Agoria is designed to be adapted for the deep bass response with our unique Variobass technology, both passive or active to play perfect at any room. The unique passive radiators are mounted in impulse compensated configuration and support a very deep and low distortion reproduction of bass frequencies without any noise. We excite the bass modes very even within the room with all together 10 sources (4 subwoofers, 6 passive radiators), therefore the beast reproduction as far less critical like with other designs.
Here as well our polished stainless steel rings are not only our famous detail and does reflect our love to details, it is designed to clamp the drivers absolutely tight in to the TIRALIT cabinet.
PASSIVE CROSSOVERMounted in a hermetically shielded chamber: pure copper foil capacitors, coils of the same caliber, silver-carbon resistors – only the finest components with proven long time stability are used for our crossovers. Unfortunately, these components are also the most expensive ones and are custom-built for TIDAL. Whether any part must be that expensive is a meaningless question and, for one thing, not one that should arise from budgetary restraints.

That is why literally every component is scrutinously evaluated and selected on the understanding that it has be the one without alternative for its specific purpose.
VARIO TERMINALThe Agoria has a multiple adjustment Varioterminal. One can influence the bass and deep bass reproduction to almost every room in a so far unknown manner. More or less upper bass? More or less deep bass? More or less bass level? All is easy to do already in a complete passive mode. And talking about bass adjustment: the 3 sub-bass radiators can be tuned with several weights for best performance in the room as well.
The tweeter curve can be adjusted to hard, medium, soft or no reflections. Also the bass cross-over, as good as it is, can be all bypassed to drive it with our exclusive TIDAL LPX technology for practically endless flexibility and control then the subwoofers directly with the power amplifier.
ISOLATOR FEETThe Agoria does come serial with 4 massive aluminum isolation feet per speaker. Each of it is milled out of a massive block of aluminum and available in two versions: hand polished silver and covered with a special coating avoiding any kind of oxidation or with a black structured hard coating.
Needless to say that these massive metal parts are 100% made in Germany.
