"Drücken Sie auf OK" "Peter Schippers, CEO of audiodata has brought not a playground for geeks on the market, but a reliable and developed to the end device for music lovers, who wants to deal with their CDs or downloads, and set up a media center, without having previously graduated in computer science." writes Heinz Gelking, editor of the german magazine image hifi initially in his ten-page(!) review about our MusikServer MS I, which also contains a long interview about the development of the device. In addition to his "sophisticated design" and the "excellent written manual" is there once more the outstanding sound characteristics of the MS I, which left an impression. "The MS I sounds in the ground and the midrange area a little stronger in color and dynamics, plays the music in whole more palatable and cantileveres more in space; if you want one more time to use the traditional clichés, you might say, that it plays 'somehow more analogous'".

"Ein Stück Lebensqualität" To tell one more time, what our streaming audio processor AudioVolver II is able to afford, now would really mean carrying coals to Newcastle. An impressive list of reviews and press articles (see below) bear testimony of this. The wishes and demands of our customers and the ever-growing experience already leads to some special solutions. But now we faced a whole new challenge. Inspired by a customer with a hearing aid some time ago, we dealed for months intensively with the use of the AudioVolver II as an audiophile replacement for a hearing aid. Various discussions with ENT doctors, audiologists, and of course with sufferers have let us learn, how the AudioVolver II can be used here successfully. Despite of all measuring technique, it is just the intensive dialogue with the parties concerned, that leads to the perfect solution.

Semi-active Avancé Holger Biermann, chief editor of the german HiFi magazine stereoplay is very familiar with speakers. For Christmas, he has incorporated his experiences gained over many years in a special issue, which is called quite simply "The 100 best speakers in the world". In the editorial he writes, that he has collected here a personal selection of transducers, regardless of price, size and design, which have impressed him most. One of these speakers is the semi-active Avancé. "With very low level as well as huge volumes that dominated the new Avancé effortlessly, artists were holographically projected into the room. The action was based on such a solid basement, that I can think of no sound transformer of this size, that could hold a candle to this speaker." Holger Biermann writes approvingly about our flagship.

"Lösungen nach Maß" That our award-winning audio processor AudioVolver II perfectly plays the role of the streaming clients as well, has now spread around. Less known, however, is still that audiodata has expanded its catalog of services according to provide on-site service and tailor-made system solutions around the topic of streaming. The streaming theme combines classical hifi with computer technology, but in practice it is often still treated satisfactory neither from the HiFi stores nor from the computer shops.

| fairaudio 07/2011 |
"Avancen machen" The AudioVolver II is the continuation of loudspeaker development by other means - Taking into account room-acoustics. Thirteen reviews in and outside of the hifi-scene (see below) have shown how well this works and maybe shifted slightly the perception of audiodata within the past two years. Thereby we are building for nearly thirty years loudspeakers! How well we can do that, tested Ralph Werner, editor of the magazine fairaudio now and listened to our flagship model, the semi-active Avancé. And he was obviously very impressed by what he got to listen. His conclusion is: "You have to take some money into you hand to buy the semi-active audiodata Avancé. This does however secure such a complete speaker as is rare to come across. This model surprises with sheer wealth of acoustic virtues rather than isolated peak values that come at the cost of other aspects. This is no specialist but do-everything champ that performs at the highest level."

| HIFISTATEMENT 04/2011 |
"Audioprozessor Audiovolver II" "Who can say of himself that he operates the perfect loudspeaker in a no less perfect listening room, does not necessarily read any further here. Anyone who has even the slightest doubt, however, has the damned duty to read this article and finally deal closer with the only viable countermeasure, that is embodied in the AudioVolver." Thus begins editor Dr. Reinhold Martin his just-published article in the internet-magazine HIFISTATEMENT, and thus delivers review number thirteen(!) and his very own view of our accustomed to success audio processor. And his final conclusion is: "Who is suffering with the inevitable limitations of his listening room sound, does not come past the AudioVolver II. Thanks to the high computing power and his 24Bit/96 kHz structure he is as future-proof, as only a few digital devices on the Hi-Fi market and he does the necessary corrections on the amplitude response and the time response of the loudspeakers in the listening room very effectively, without ever breaking a sweat."

"Mehr als nur Bügeleisen" Under the hip title "More than just a flat iron" a further test of the AudioVolver II in the freshly printed issue 04/2009 of the german audio-magazine stereoplay has been released. Editor Raphael Vogt probably wanted to express, that besides frequency corrections the AudioVolver II mainly can work true wonders especially in the time domain: "With wide-banded, complex arrangements, such as Quincy Jones' "Birdland" from the CD "Back On The Block" suddenly came order and focus, depth and a lot more musical flow into the band. The longer the tester listened, the more noticeable was this effect, and the more gruesome it sounded in the bypass-mode. The increase in the quality of the perfected step-response of the FIR filters was fascinating." His final test conclusion therefore simply reads as follows: "Sounds wonderfully musical!"

Under the title "Space and Time" Carsten Barnbeck, editor of the german audio-magazine STEREO, was allowed to listen to the AudioVolver in the issue nov., 2008 and was deeply impressed by his abilities: "Yet all this it was unimaginable, what the Audiovolver caused inside the frequencies. Due to the perfected timing the music regular snaps right, was yet conclusive, and had now an extreme inner peace and homogeneity. Moreover the sound detaches completely from the speakers and floated freely in space." His conclusion to the AudioVolver: "At such a high level, we had never experienced the eqippment, which frequently encountered in our listening room in this compilation."

"An der Wand..." The chic combination of the on-wall loudspeaker Carré and the actively regulated sub-woofer Soutien 2+ knows not only visually to convince. Chief editor Ralph Werner from the Internet magazine fairaudio listened to the duo and was also pleased with its audiophile qualities: "You look at these small squares, hanging on the wall, and you can not match it with the size of the sound-landscape, spreading in front of you." he writes about Carré and "the quality of the bass is also first class - quick, springy and clean does the audiodata sub-woofer work" reads his commentary on the Soutien. His conclusion on the combination of both: "You don´t hear the speakers, in a fairly large area in my living room plays music. And that is precisely the crucial acoustic reason, to deal with the combination of Carré und Soutien 2+ - suchlike is not anywhere." The entire article with a lot of photos can be downloaded by clickling the lead-photo on the left or from the section Downloads as a PDF-special edition.

| stereoplay 03/2006 |
"Äpfel & Birnen "Can one compare an electrostatic loudspeaker with a dynamic one?" asks test editor Dalibor Beric in the test "apples & pears" in issue 03/2006 of the magazine stereoplay. Man kann nicht nur, es liefert sogar verblüffende Erkenntnisse, wenn der dynamische Lautsprecher Ambiance heißt und von audiodata kommt: "Die Ambiance klingt nicht nur extrem homogen, sondern kann Musik auch hinreißend lebendig vermitteln, wie es sich für ein stereoplay Highlight gehört." lautet sein beeindruckendes Fazit, womit auch gleich verraten ist, das ein weiterer audiodata-Lautsprecher das begehrte stereoplay-HIGHLIGHT Logo tragen darf. Mit satten 60 Klangpunkten zieht die Ambiance aber nicht nur an wesentlich teuereren Mitbewerbern vorbei in die "Absolute Spitzenklasse" ein, sondern darf sich ab sofort auch mit dem Ehrentitel "Favorit der Redaktion" schmücken.
