The little brother of the Stereophile Recommended HighEnd Novum PMR Premium is now available in the US.
The PMR Initium received StereoTimes’ Most Wanted Component 2012 Award.
Clement Perry, StereoTimes, 01/2013: "...a ’mini-me’ version to the bigger Novum resonator we all went gaga over. At roughly half the size of the standard PMR, the Initium serves as a perfect companion for placement around the room especially when space is an issue. Adds sparkle and dimensionality to an already excellent product...."
The new PMR Initium is an outstanding and reasonably priced product - your access to the world of the PMR room acoustic resonators. The Initium is about half the size of the PMR Premium (7 inch in diameter). Just like its big brother, the Initium is cast by hand from bell bronze in a German foundry, then tuned and polished.
You will notice a strong resonance with lots of details and spatial acoustics. The music appears to be more dynamic and full of energy. When it comes to individual instruments, they sound very realistic and seem to have a whole new presence. With the help of the Initium, the music gains more space in every kind of way.
To sum up: The Initium creates a very authentic and natural acoustic pattern with fascinating timbre. If you already have a large PMR in your listening room add one (or two) Initium for even better three-dimensionality.
Production Process:
The production processes of the PMR and a bell are very similar. Each PMR is custome-made and is produced exclusively by hand in the following steps:
- Creation of a two-sand mold by means of a "primitive model"
- Heating the bronze alloy to about 1200 ° C
- Casting of liquid metal in the form
- Controlled cooling off the casting for the production of a fine crystalline structure of metal
- Manual post-processing and tuning of the cast PMR
An individual, numbered certificate is included with each PMR.
The PMR Initium is exclusively manufactured in Germany.
