DIVINE ACOUSTICS - Synergy to convey pure emotion.

 

DIVINE ACOUSTICS is a Polish specialist company founded in 2003 by Mr. Piotr Galkowski. They are located in the small town of Ozimek in south-western Poland, near the picturesque Turawskie Lake surrounded by pine forests. The focus is on loudspeaker design and manufacture, but they also offer unique anti-vibration platforms, anti-vibration feet and a very unique speaker cable. Divine Acoustics products are proprietary designs, significantly different from other products of this type available on the market. Piotr is pretty much a one-man workhorse, designing and manufacturing to an obsessive level of detail, even the packaging and boxing is all done by him! There is nothing in his products that scream "cottage industry" - fit and finish on all his products would put some large manufacturers to shame. The pandemic saw some changes to the loudspeaker range with Piotr introducing a new model that is so improved in both performance and looks, all other models are discontinued and this form factor will form the basis of future models.

KEPLER Equipment and Speaker Isolation Footer - PDF available HERE

 

Kepler consists of 40 elements - its main function, the accumulation and dissipation of vibration, is carried out by 7 layers made of various materials. Inside the Kepler’s enclosure, a rectangular ceramic bar cooperates with gemstones arranged in the shape of a pyramid based on a non-parallel triangle. The stones are kept in a fixed position, they cooperate with chromium-nickel steel and together they form a 3-layer system. The pyramid rests directly on the ceramic bar, and is surrounded by other elements that gently compress the entire system and create a kind of heat sink that converts the cumulated energy into heat. The top threaded spindle transmits vibrations from the device or loudspeaker directly to the top of the pyramid. The steel, chromium, nickel, copper, titanium, molybdenum and auxiliary elements made of wood and polyamide were also used in the construction of Kepler in individual layers.

Stock is due to land mid-April - available in sets of three of four.

Our first batch of Divine's Keplers will be arriving in about 2 weeks' time. Pre-orders will be filled, however we are working on a loaner program where you can audition at home for 1 week with no obligation. Details to be nutted out over the coming days.

HALLEY Speaker Cable

 

Designing the Halley Speaker Cable took almost 10 months before it reached its final form. Each element, each type of material used for its construction, has been selected during listening sessions, with a focus on whether that element does or does not have a negative impact on the sound of the wires. 12 different suppliers deliver parts to build Halley and the manual production of it takes about 16 labour hours.

Halley’s conductors are thin copper ribbons that have a specified direction before they are installed inside special isolation. Then they are carefully drawn through the insulation, which consists of layers of compressed tapes and tunnels of woven cotton. The whole is closed in an additional external black aesthetic braid.  On both sides of the wire, cans that contain additional anti-interference shields have been mounted.

Halley cables are terminated with spades (or Banana Z-Plugs) made of uncoated (red) copper, chosen from many other terminations due to their sound characteristics. Cables are made in standard lengths of 2.0 m, 2.5 m and 3.0 m.

Halley is completely hand-crafted with care to avoid unnecessary stresses and excess heat during assembly.

Divine Acoustics Halley cables are available at a most cost effective price to give you absolutely top sound quality.

The COPERNICUS Speaker Cable is due for release in June. Here are some further pics and a description of the cable design and materials used.

 

"Copernicus is the Brand new speaker cable prepared by Divine Acoustics for Hi-End audio aplications.

The conductor of Copernicus is a round silver wire covered with a layer of 24 carat gold. The gilding process is additionally preceded by palladium plating. The conduit is then vibration relieved and polished with walnut granulate at the same time. We have developed the composition, diameter and preparation of the wire together with our co-operator.

The cables are obtained in small spools, sufficient to build only one pair of Copernicus. This means that each pair of conductors has an individually defined direction and is auditioned during production and compared with the reference cable.

The insulation of gilded silver is the air, several layers of woven cotton and carbon. Due to the non-corrosive properties of gold, which does not react with oxygen or ozone, the wire is not coated before being placed into the first layer of cotton insulation.

When designing, we paid a lot of attention to the insulation, the way of arranging its individual layers, their joining and the appropriate ratio of the amount of carbon and cotton. The insulation also has anti-vibration functions, which is why its composition, arrangement, and the way in which the cable was braided, were so important for achieving its sound. In order for the cables to be flexible and easy to lay, and at the same time so that the insulation and the conductors themselves do not move between each other, the layers are sealed with an "everlasting" caoutchouc-based substance. The whole is covered with an aesthetic braid in the colors of dark gold interspersed with black and white.

We paid the same attention to the cable splitting boxes at the ends. Their weight and repeatability of execution were extremely important. Like the insulation, they are part of the Copernicus anti-vibration system. The splitters are laser cut from high-quality poured, stress-relieved acrylic. Their shape also turned out to be important. Eventually, they took the form of a tiny violin - an instrument whose shape follows the "golden proportion".

Such a carefully prepared cable should be properly terminated. The Copernicus is ended with the top model of the gold plated copper Furutech FT-211G spades. The connection to the conductor is screwed, without soldering.

Copernicus is prepared in 2 lengths: 3m and 2.5m. The construction process is completely made by hand. After connecting the new cable, it will take about 200 hours to burn-in and settle in the audio system."

Piotr's attention to detail borders on obsessive - below we see the effort that goes into preparing each and every ScanSpeak Illuminator tweeter from its basic supplied condition (PIC 1), to its almost final design and deployment (PIC 2) into the new Bellatrix loudspeakers.

 

The damping system used for this tweeter in the Bellatrix is based on Divine's KEPLER footers and uses the CERAGEM technology.
