SIGNO 400

See and enthuse. The slimline top-of-the-range SIGNO 400 can always be relied on to strike the right note.

The elegant glass base underlines the unique styling of this loudspeaker. The SIGNO 400 never fails to impress with the natural quality of its music reproduction, whether used as pure stereo speakers or as part of a surround set.

The big features of the Signo are natural and precise reproduction. After just a few notes, you notice something’s happening, the front speakers present a yearning and detail-rich sound. They harmonise perfectly with the central speaker and subwoofer, which delivers round and penetrating bass. In 5.1 configuration, the surround speakers fill the space behind you. The result is very supple and full movement, and every register is reproduced with great discrimination. A great performance!

That extravagantly styled loudspeaker sets for chic flat panel TV sets don’t have to cost a fortune is something that quadral has set out to prove with its SIGNO series:"... "Despite this enormous price differential the slender speaker easily holds its own in the beauty contest. The cabinets with their aluminium profiles are somewhat lighter but just as sophisticated in terms of their lines. Very practical: thanks to their substructure they are already at ear level - and thus save the additional expense of having to buy special stands. In technical terms too, the quadral offers a number of extra features. As with the B&W set, the SIGNO satellites too work with two bass-midrange units each, this being intended to make for a favourable diaphragm-surface to sonic emission ratio. The satellites use a special chassis with a diameter of twelve centimetres as bass-midrangers. These only require a minimal structural depth because their magnet system is arranged in front of the loudspeaker basket rather than behind it as is conventionally the case. It is this technology that enabled the satellites' extremely flat structural design in the first place. The Sub 250 DV subwoofer adroitly reflects the oval lines of the satellites. Its extravagantly styled cabinet provides sufficient room for a robust ten-inch chassis that makes for added air by way of a downfiring bass reflex pipe. The quadral ensemble mastered the listening test in a lively and effortless manner. ... - good sound - decent finish - attractive price Test rating: GOOD (69 points) Value for money: VERY GOOD This test result is based on the testing of a set.

SIGNO 200

Our design engineers had individually adaptable versatility in mind when developing the SIGNO series. This is reflected, for example, in the round decor bars that are also available as accessories for the SIGNO 200 with various real-wood colours or a lacquered finish. The unit's glass base is removable, enabling the loudspeakers to be mounted on a wall by means of the optionally available MOUNT 200 wall mount to function alongside any flat-panel TV set as front or rear satellites. The SIGNO 200 is smaller than its sister model, SIGNO 400, but is every bit as excellent in terms of sound. An active woofer and two SIGNO 200s form a compact stereo set that is sure to impress, acoustically as well as visually.

SIGNO 200 BASE

Simply impressive: the aural transparency of the SIGNO 200 BASE as center speaker in a surround combination. Dialogue is made direct and consistently distinct. This unit matches its SIGNO sister models in both technical as well as aural terms. The slim design of the SIGNO 200 BASE cabinet means you can place it directly below or above plasma or LCD screens - and add to their visually modern effect in the process. Its decorative glass base can be easily unscrewed to enable wall-mounting of the unit by way of the MOUNT 200 wall mount that comes as a standard feature and can be relied on to hold it in place in any desired position.

SIGNO DS 50

quadral’s new SIGNO DS 50 surround sound set amazes with an unexpectedly full sound from compactly dimensioned, slender cabinets featuring attractive styling and elegant, time-resistant surface finishing. The rear panel is fitted with a mount facility for wall mounting, but the stylish satellites also blend effortlessly into any home environment when mounted on the separately available SIGNO STATIV stand. The SIGNO satellites are equipped with a 25 mm fabric dome for finely detailed sonic delivery and a flat 11cm bass driver. Both chassis units are driven by diminutive but powerful neodymium magnets, which, in the case of the subwoofers, are mounted in front of rather than behind the diaphragm in order to keep the cabinet’s structural depth to a minimum. The satellites are optimally complemented by a powerful 60/100 W active subwoofer for added pressure in the lowest frequencies.
