arcus Anniversary

Revolutions are rare and well prepared and when they happen, they change the present.

We have worked towards this for 30 years.

They are now upon us: arcus 30 years Anniversary.

Music as an art form has always touched human emotions. It is the most powerful and most diverse communication medium. The reproduction of music in all its clarity, drama and charm is the uncompromising objective of arcus 30 years Anniversary.

We don’t intend to sing the praises of the outstanding technology of these products here but rather to acquaint you with the philosophy behind the developments leading to arcus 30 years Anniversary since we firmly believe that these products convey more than just technology.

arcus 30 years Anniversary are the first jubilee products in the 30 years’ history of the company. Why? For products like these ones you need at least 30 years’ experience.

The realistic reproduction of the live experience of a concert – with all its dynamics and atmosphere – within your own four walls seemingly constitutes a never-ending, natural challenge for hi-fi developers. The ultimate goal in the pursuit of natural hi-fi reproduction should be to convey to the listener the feelings and emotions of the composer and the musicians.

It really is fascinating that even when the human brain is deprived of the main conditions like visual impressions, physical presence and emotional contact, it is still able to reproduce the illusion of an event when given an opportunity to listen to well-recorded live music on a high-grade hi-fi system.

Despite immense progress in the field of audio measurement technology, up to now there has been little direct interaction between the subjective and objective assessment of audio reproduction systems.

Aside from a series of measurements which perhaps reflect some aspects of the definitive quality of the product, there are always phenomena which cannot be proven using today’s measurement techniques but which are indeed perceived by the human brain. This is perhaps because music is an abstract, unfathomable art form which does not lend itself to precise, scientific analysis.

Anyone who thinks he can develop a hi-fi system with a good sound simply because he has the best technology is doomed to failure. The prerequisites for good hi-fi are scientific and artistic work coupled with innovative technologies. It is only the inspirational and intuitive coupling of these fundamental elements that can create hi-fi components which reproduce the spirit and the emotional dimension of music. In the final instance, the overall quality of a product is judged on the basis of the harmony resulting from the interaction between all the properties of the individual components. The form must result from the function. The product should display sheer perfection in its overall design. It should feel good, people should enjoy using it and, of course, it should do what it is supposed to do: reproduce music.

Besides their outstanding acoustic properties, our products are also a treat for the eyes. The materials used are beyond reproach.

As arcus 30 years Anniversary products are handcraftet they also document the special nature of their owner.

“A new star is born.“
This spontaneous remark by a well-known musician at the internal advance presentation of our arcus Anniversary system is intended as an introduction to these unique products.
We could just as easily have chosen the comments by the editor-in-chief of a renowned hi-fi magazine, “This performance not only makes arcus Anniversary products the absolute exception in their category. You would have to go a long way before you would find such a high level of musicality and quality in terms of construction and material, too.”

Since we needed 30 years for the first Anniversary Products, this series is – of course – updateable. This means that you will always be able to keep pace with the latest technological developments because several years are sure to pass before we see the next Anniversary series. We have already heard that because of this our Anniversary products are considered to be a good investment.
Individuality and exclusivity are maintained – only a limited edition of in Germany hand-crafted arcus Anniversary products is produced.
