O'heocha Announces D2 Saturn - a High End Speaker that's not just a Pretty Face (1/6/2006)

The O'heocha D2 looks as radical now, as it did at birth in late 1999 and it continues to sell steadily. However, advances in technology have lead to a series of internal improvements over the years and in 2006 the time was judged right for a major revamp, reflecting these and taking the next step.

Strutting style without equal, the original D2 made star appearances in Hollywood blockbusters, TV programmes and in the pages of some of the best-respected and most influential press on the planet. Additionally, the sound quality delivered by the unique drive-units, non-resonant cabinet and isobarically loaded bass enclosures, resulted in accolades from the public and press alike.

The new D2 Saturn model was born from a desire to encompass the best features of the previous D2-ISO-5 and improve every aspect of the speakers' performance. It has taken three years of intensive R&D to mould and develop this new O'hEocha speaker system into a technologically advanced leap forward.

Unlike many wacky designs out there, the O'heocha's alien skin, cloaks very serious audiophile engineering and the D2 Saturn delivers a blistering performance on music and movies.

Key features of the New D2 Saturn

- Constructed from aircraft grade aluminium 1050A in a PVC/steel composite construction - 5 drive units per channel - Twin 11inch diameter isobarically loaded subwoofers built into the speaker bases - Twin gas flowed bass reflex ports in each speaker - Aluminium composite sandwich drive unit materials - Twin mid-range drive units for three dimensional sound dispersion - Stiffened structure using 10mm diameter bracing rods in horizontal and vertical directions. - Radical new suspension system - Compatible with O-Link Wireless Systems

Described as a work of art that gives supreme visual pleasure, as well as excellence in sound quality, the D2 Saturn is the result of very clever design, using the most natural shape in the universe, the sphere.

Designer Aonghus O'heocha gained extensive experience of high-end engineering at BMW Motors, before starting O'heocha Design and is currently working on projects with the European Space Agency. This experience show in every element of O'heocha speakers. Crafting a D2 Saturn is no easy feat, each speaker is hand-made with care and attention to detail, just like a space satellite or one the world's most beautiful cars, Aston Martin. Lamborghini, Ferrari....

The very best aerospace grade materials and the highest quality parts and components go to make a D2 Saturn. Aonghus O'heocha takes a personal interest in every speaker that is crafted, ensuring that the quality is of the highest and that O'heocha customers will be delighted every time.
