KHARMA HIGH-END PRODUCTS BEYOND IMAGINATION
Above and beyond imagination has always been the core value of Kharma,
which now results in the Kharma Enigma Veyron line. Charles van Oosterum
has created the Enigma Veyron line on his journey to create the ultimate
audio experience. He has combined technology, experience and knowledge
to uplift sound representation to an unknown level of synergy.
The Kharma Enigma Veyron line is the most advanced audio line in the
world realizing the Holy Grail in the High-end audio. To create a new level
of sound quality and truly offer superior technology that would push the
limits of current dynamic loudspeakers was not an easy task. This time
fully new engineered Kharma drivers are the basis of the Enigma Veyron
loudspeakers, as well as a new cabinet, materials, internal cable technology
and more. We decided to offer the whole package to drive the full Enigma
Veyron as well. New wide band linear power amps, a complete new
touchscreen operated pre-amp, App controlled subwoofer management
and massive power distributors as well as a diamond suspended audio
rack were developed. Hence many exciting innovations were developed by
Kharma to create this unique audio system.
The bass and midrange section of the Veyron loudspeakers are formed
by the exclusive Kharma Omega F Drivers. The F stands for 0-Foucault
currents, which is a novelty in the audio world, because for the rst time no
iron is used in the magnet motor-system, avoiding any interaction. Normally
the voice coil induces a Foucault-current into the iron parts and that current
induces back distortion into the driver-coil which will distort the original
signal by denition. This is now completely gone and the result is a higher
resolution, more micro-dynamics, more macro-dynamics, faster transients,
more richer spectrum of tonal variations from the music itself, more natural
sounding, more explosive sounding, more realistic sounding.
Introduction to the Enigma Veyron

KHARMA HIGH-END PRODUCTS BEYOND IMAGINATION
The Enigma Veyron line has magical physical dimensions, which are as
impressive as the musical performance the products have to offer. The
loudspeaker cabinets are constructed from thick Bullet wood panels and
the audio rack and electronics from 38 mm thick aluminium plates. Although
the constructions are massive but elegant, all components are decoupled
from the surrounding by a minimum contact surface created with Tungsten
balls placed on Diamonds. The combination of the hardness, shape and
acoustical properties of the materials used, realize the ultimate freedom of
resonances.
Kharma has pushed the limits for each component of the Enigma Veyron
line. The sound representation and aesthetical beauty is overwhelming and
certainly beyond imagination.
