Entering the UK market for the first time, Operly has launched the Operly Intelligence III, a new flagship line of unique, horn-loaded hi-fi speakers.
The German speaker manufacturer has introduced this new generation of full-range speakers, which combines German precision engineering with advanced, revolutionary technologies developed by Operly’s team of engineers.
Its standout design reflects its revolutionary engineering – a visual embodiment of its philosophy for creating the shortest possible sound reproduction path. The monocoque body is constructed from high grade fibreglass with a uniform thickness of 15mm along the entire length of the backward horn and formed in a vacuum for maximum strength.
Operly Intelligence III’s driver features a unique design, utilising a short coil with small diameter and high gap, achieving uniformity of the magnetic field and maximum fidelity. A patented full-range horn system eliminates all connections between the forward and backward horns, allowing the front horn to be perfectly mated to the speaker diaphragm.
The speaker features a three-point support allowing for stable placement on uneven surfaces, with the product’s centre of gravity located so that pressure is evenly distributed between the feet. The depth and width dimensions are chosen to correspond to a person sitting in an office chair whilst taking up minimal space in a room. The backward horn is angled so that the convergence of the front and back horn axes is at a distance of 2.7 metres, the start of the comfortable listening zone. To eliminate standing waves, the sides of the horn are angled to each other to avoid parallel surfaces.
Operly Intelligence III is available in an assortment of finishes, with all colours featured in the German automotive colour palette available, including dual colour treatments. This makes the Intelligence III a fully customisable statement speaker that can be tailored to complement any interior design or existing hi-fi setup.
“The Operly Intelligence III is a testament to what can be achieved when you take a legacy idea and bring it up to date with leading edge development and modern manufacturing techniques,” said Matthias Bauer, head of sales at Operly. “New innovation takes new ideas, couple with a deep respect for what has come before them. That’s what we’ve tried to bring to life in the Intelligence III. We’re so excited to fill the lives of British audiophiles with Operly horn-loaded audio solutions for the very first time.”
The Operly Intelligence III is available now with an SRP of £33,000 / €37,000 / $40,000.
