Carcés, FranceThe company, known worldwide for the striking glass-enclosure designs it distributes in 30 different countries, will display and demonstrate its unique Victoria EVO and Iguasçu EVO, named for the famous waterfalls in Africa and South America, respectively.
Waterfall's designs feature dramatic enclosures that are individually handcrafted entirely of glass, which produce the visual effect of drivers that seem to 'float- invisibly in the room. The company was launched in 1996, but spent nearly a half-decade developing its exclusive glass-fabrication techniques with French partner Miroiterie Merle. These include a combination of advanced computer-controlled diamond and water-jet glass cutting techniques that result in unprecedented precision and finish quality. Just as important, Waterfall engaged in extensive research and development of the acoustic technologies that make possible its unique designs.
The Victoria EVO and Iguasçu EVO are slim, pure-glass towers standing 40 inches high but just 10 inches wide. The Victoria EVO, a three-way/four-driver design, includes Waterfall's proprietary, downfiring, 8-1/2-inch passive woofer, the Iguasçu (34-inches tall by 10-inches W) employs identical drivers (including the passive woofer) in a two-way/three-driver arrangement. Both models use a key Waterfall technology: the Acoustic Damping Tube (ADT), which performs near-total damping of mid- and low-frequency 'back-wave- artifacts, and precise damping control of midrange reflections, allowing the speakers to produce superbly accurate, high-end performance within their effectively undamped glass enclosures.
