The Contriva G3, which sits in the middle of Tidal’s line, includes all-new drivers. The next generation black ceramic midrange and new diamond tweeter with its unique isolation mounting technology play even more transparent and linear.
Description
The TIDAL Audio Contriva G3 audio system comprises the following components:
1. TIDAL Audio Contriva G3 loudspeaker
Technical Specifications:
- TIDAL Contriva (G3 – third Generation), dynamic 3-way loudspeaker
- multi chamber cabinet made of TIDAL’s proprietary cabinet material TIRALIT and TIRADUR cabinet material
- 1 x exclusive 30mm Gen3 diamond tweeter with neodymium under-hang motor
- 1 x exclusive 173mm Gen4 black ceramic midrange with neodymium under-hang motor
- 2 x exclusive 220mm carbon-fiber aluminum woofers with neodymium long excursion under-hang motor
- TIDAL uno-pulse crossover with lowest tolerance components, micro phonically and hermetically isolated in separated chamber
- Gen-3 TIDAL isolators with 8 x trigger-bars, made of stainless-steel high gloss polished
- cabinet finish: original TIDAL piano lacquer in midnight black and hand selected veneers in original TIDAL transparent piano lacquer
- nominal power handling: 150 / 300 VA, nominal impedance: 4 Ohm, recommended power amplifier: > 30 watt.
- 2 x 114 Kg weight (without packaging)
- speaker dimensions: 130 cm x 27,5 cm x 48 cm
2. TIDAL Audio Contros streamer, DAC and preamplifier
Technical Specifications:
- TIDAL Contros: volume controlled digital-to-music converter with streaming unit and 4 digital inputs
- Pure discrete designed 32-bit non-oversampling 8xR2R ladder DAC without pre-ringing and post-ringing
- Lossless volume control: the signal output level is directly adjusted inside the ladder DAC – via a galvanically separated potentiometer from the outside (motor driven to be remote controlled as well)
- Proprietary ASRT² Analog Signal Remediation Technology: Field Programmable Gate Array for most precise timing correlation between left and right channel incl. timing correction and audio signal remediation processing (target-interpolation TIDAL algorithm)
- Every function-module in the TIDAL Contros has its own voltage supply, separated for each channel, left and right, such as for the amplification, the DAC, the PCM-unit, the streaming module and other parts. All together 22 ultra low noise voltage supplies
- 3x low noise ring-core transformers with foil-shielding to avoid interference current between primary/analogue/digital-audio
- Overall capacity >300.000µF with 180 ultra-fast charging organic capacitors
- Copper-silver cable with 3 layers constrained damping shielding (power input to transformers – the only cabling inside)
- 3x SPDIF in: coaxial RCA, AES XLR, optical
- 1x proprietary TIDAL-link input interface with high-speed low voltage differential signal driver/receiver: for TIDAL Arkas streamer and TIDAL devices to come in the near future
- 0,01% tolerance precision resistors, ultralow-ESR organic capacitors
- Femto clock ultra-low noise oscillator (-169 dB)
- Fully discrete Class-A output amplifier, balanced output concept without any sound-changing inverted signal generation (like with transformer outputs)
- Music data streaming input: LAN ethernet (1000 BASE-T), USB storage/hard disk (single partition FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, EXT2/3)
- Multi clock system for utmost precision in timing, MQA decoding, DSD over PCM support
- UPnP AV protocol with audio streaming extension, gapless playback
- Supported formats: DSF (DSD), DFF (DSD), DoP (DSD), FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MQA, MP3, AAC (M4A)
- Native support for Tidal music streaming, Qobuz music streaming, MQA, Apple AirPlay, TuneIn internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect music streaming
- Dimensions (width x height x length): 44cm x 13cm x 39cm
- Weight: 16,6 kg
3. TIDAL Audio Intra stereo power amplifier
Technical Specifications
- dual-stereo power amplifier with 4 amplification channels for three different modes.
- stereo mode single-amping: each power supply powers one channel only:
– 2x 340 W at 8 ohms
– 2x 670 W at 4 ohms - dual stereo mode bi-amping: each power supply powers two channels:
– 4x 290 W at 8 ohms
– 4x 540 W at 4 ohms - dual mono mode for LF amplification: BTL mode per stereo module for low frequency applications, such as for the TIDAL LPX technology to drive TIDAL loudspeakers bass-active:
– 2x 1.180 W at 8 ohms
– 2x 1.900 W at 4 ohms - fully discrete front-end amplifier
- completely DC coupled signal path from input to output stage (no capacitor in the whole signal path).
- 4x XLR audio input
- TIDAL remote power on/off input
- performance protection: temperature, over-current, DC and HF
- dimensions (width x height x depth): 44 cm x 13 cm x 39 cm
- weight (without packaging): 12 kg
Options:
- Matching audio cables and power strip on request
