MODEL.ONE

The model ONE (formerly Endeavor) is Von Schweikert's entreé into the world of visceral fidelity. It is a compact, affordable, full-range, three-way loudspeaker representing an end-game purchase for many listeners. Features include our signature beryllium tweeter from our flagship Ultra series, two long-throw aluminum woofers, a Kevlar midrange, and a rear-mounted ribbon ambient retrieval tweeter. The Endeavor has no discernible sweet spot and provides a deep, layered, three-dimensional sound field. The model ONE is available in American walnut finish and a wide range of custom automotive finishes to suit any decor.

Developed in 1994 by Albert Von Schweikert in association with lab partners from Cal Tech, Von Schweikert cabinets are fabricated using a proprietary triple-wall laminate construction technique. Despite inventive efforts by other makers using aluminum and sheet extruded composites, this triple-wall method remains the gold standard of non-resonant enclosure design.

Our quiet cabinet design's outermost layer uses a resin-based HDF (high-density fiberboard) sheet. The middle layer is made of synthetic stone adhered to the outer layer using a resin binder. The final layer is a dense woven damping material. The resulting triple-wall composite is approximately three inches in overall thickness. Once the cabinet is assembled, internal bracing is added so that various areas of the cabinet have varying stiffness levels. The elaborate construction techniques combine to create differing native Qs, working together as a symbiotic system of resonance-cancellation to efficiently turn unwanted energy into heat for the absolute best in cabinet vibration control.

Albert Von Schweikert's earliest research led to the development of an adjustable ambiance retrieval system radiating from the speaker's rear to recreate a natural soundfield of space & depth using a concert hall recording method known as the spaced omni method. This system replicates the effect when microphones used for recording encode the musical signal with overlaying pickup response patterns.

After studios make a series of recordings using several different microphone types, the playback from each device has tonal differences and create various imaging patterns. This creates a differing perception of space & depth dependent on the recording environment, microphone placement, and each microphone's distinct off-axis polar response. From this framework, our rear soundfield system creates a natural soundstage, regardless of the recording, microphone type, and recording technique used. Most importantly, the system allows the playback response to remain as close as possible to what was intended by the engineer.
