Kepler consists of 40 elements - its main function, the accumulation and dissipation of vibration, is carried out by 7 layers made of various materials. Inside the Kepler’s enclosure, a rectangular ceramic bar cooperates with gemstones arranged in the shape of a pyramid based on a non-parallel triangle. The stones are kept in a fixed position, they cooperate with chromium-nickel steel and together they form a 3-layer system. The pyramid rests directly on the ceramic bar, and is surrounded by other elements that gently compress the entire system and create a kind of heat sink that converts the cumulated energy into heat. The top threaded spindle transmits vibrations from the device or loudspeaker directly to the top of the pyramid. The steel, chromium, nickel, copper, titanium, molybdenum and auxiliary elements made of wood and polyamide were also used in the construction of Kepler in individual layers.
Extensive research into the mechanical properties of various materials and their impact on the sound of audio systems has led to the development of a combination of layers that positively influence sound. These layers mainly consist of elements and simple chemical compounds found in nature. We named this layer composition the “damping package,” and the entire technology is known as CeraGem.
CeraGem technology combines the advantages of hard materials, such as ceramic sinter, precious gemstones with a consistent crystal structure, as well as various metals and non-metals. CeraGem technology is our proprietary solution and does not replicate the approaches used by other companies that combat vibrations using ceramic balls, soft spacers, magnets, or bearings.
