“Music is Everyman´s Right.”
Anssi Hyvönen
Proprietor, Amphion Loudspeakers Ltd.
Everyman´s Right = Age-old code of behaviour, which al-
lows everyone to enjoy nature´s offerings regardless of legal
ownership.
Most forests in Finland are privately owned yet we all have
equal rights to enjoy them.
Nature´s importance in providing direct livelihood has de-
creased. Yet in the hectic modern world it is more important
than ever as a peaceful haven.
Music is like nature. It allows us to relax and recharge our
batteries.
Music belongs to all of us. Music is Everyman´s Right.
Those who prefer movies to music should remember that
the human voice is the greatest musical instrument.
Amphion customer promise
Amphion creates loudspeaker solutions
which enrich people’s lives by providing a means to
experience the beauty of pure natural sound in their own homes,
- at any time - without unreasonable financial sacrifices.
Pure sound should be part of everyday life. In order to achieve this, loudspeakers
must become part of the home interior. We at Amphion do everything we can to
achieve this – everything except compromise on sound quality.
Loudspeakers in your home
”I am grateful to you for these wonderful little giants.”

Thanks to U/D/D the dispersion of Am-
phion loudspeakers is more uniform and
evenly controlled throughout a large fre-
quency band. U/D/D reduces the room´s
adverse effects on final sound, which al-
lows your loudspeakers to work together
with your room, not against it. This re-
sults in increased clarity, especially in the
midrange.
The positive effects of U/D/D technology
are most evident with ‘real world’ loud-
speaker placements. ‘Real world’ refers
to situations where loudspeakers are
placed in the room, which is also used for
Pure room acoustics
Room acoustics have a major
impact on how the room sounds
and what it feels like. To produce
a purer, more natural sound de-
spite changing room acoustics
Amphion uses innovative acous-
tic engineering called U/D/D
technology (Uniformly Directive
Diffusion).
daily living. This often leads to less than
optimal loudspeaker placement.
Thanks to U/D/D´s controlled disper-
sion the speakers keep their clarity and
naturalness, even when placed close to
the back wall or other boundaries.
Amphion´s experience and sound knowl-
edge in room acoustics allows you to
enjoy the positive atmospheric effects a
purer sound has on your room, and your
home.
The biggest challenge in loudspeaker design is to integrate the chosen drivers into
one seamless product. Amphion’s proprietary waveguide provides an elegant and
effective solution as it improves the coupling between tweeter and woofer. This
superior integration over a broad frequency-band leads into a purer, more natural
sound.
The human sensory system is precise at detecting variations of the time constants
in music. Amphion´s innovative acoustical engineering makes electrical time cor-
rections unnecessary. Result is a more natural sound reproduction, with deeper
emotional involvement and relaxation.

“By sounding right, we get things feeling right”
Anssi Hyvönen
Proprietor, Amphion Loudspeakers Ltd.
The secret of Amphion´s superior 3D imaging lies in using a tweeter
& waveguide combination, where we human´s can hear best. The
tweeter with its extremely stiff diaphragm and low mass is easily
controllable.
Amphion’s solution increases transient speed, which together with
very low distortion leads into an airy, open sounding musical expe-
rience. Unrivalled palpable three dimensionality and pinpoint imag-
ing allows “seeing” your favorite musicians on stage, or admiring the
acoustics of world famous concert halls.
Amphion´s sonic 3D HD presentation adds greatly to the magical il-
lusion of “being there”. The best part of this 3D HD is that there is
already plenty of existing software for you to enjoy.
3D HD - For Your Ear
“In particular, classical concerts are perfectly
reproduced with a clear revelation of the room
acoustics in various concert halls.
It was fascinating to be able to recognize the
acoustics of the concert hall so precisely on the
Amphions and to hear the difference in room
acoustics between the (perhaps too) dry sound
from the new Danish concert hall and the more
open sound from the famous Berlin hall.”

Clarinettist-conductor from Sibelius-Academy of Finland. Rauno has been finetuning his craft under
Osmo Vänskä & Jorma Panula. Rauno likes the clarity of his clarinet through his Amphions (Rauno has
recorded an album God Bless the Child with organ master Kalevi Kiviniemi, www.kalevikiviniemi.com)
Human voice – the great musical instrument we all know
Human voice is perfect loudspeaker evaluation material due to its familiarity.
Amphion´s unrivalled midrange clarity and speech intelligibility along with an
unstressed, pure and natural voice band are achieved by seamless driver in-
tegration and carefully executed natural balance. Listening to realistically re-
produced human voices is like music to your ears.
In addition to obvious benefits with movies and music, Amphion´s unrivalled
voice band contributes greatly to voice books and learning related applica-
tions.
Turn the volume down – and still hear everything
The demands of daily life often leave only the “after-hours” to calm down. Hearing
unstressed natural sound becomes exceedingly important when one is constantly
bombarded with information. Like each and everyone of us are. Amphion´s unstrained
clarity and speech intelligibility remain unchanged even at surprisingly low listening
levels. This brings more enjoyment to those late night movie or music sessions.
Pure and unstrained low-level sound reproduction also offers a great way to enjoy
high quality audio signals present in normal TV and radio programs.
The coherent and focused soundfield created by Amphion´s controlled dispersion is a
blessing when you want to move around while enjoying your music. It also allows you
to improve your home’s atmosphere by playing something quietly in the background.

Thebes just by playing his golden lyre.

lives against the hostile environment. Since 1998

signing and manufacturing loudspeakers which

man hearing and demands of everyday living.

which allow us to experience music´s emotive
powers in our own homes. Something we may
need more now than ever before.
