Swans TEMPUS Kits

Swans TEMPUS Kits

Swans proudly presents their first European-style, independently developed loudspeaker kit. Due to exceptionally high standards for a kit speaker, TEMPUS is a top-level, world-class performer in all regards.

German sound magazine KLANG+TON featured the Tempus in the June 2002 issue, commending its excellent acoustic response.

The Tempus project was initially conceived as a private work of the acoustic arts, to be executed independent of all professional ffiliations. Despite a lack of traditional marketing and initial editorial commentary, the design has since received wide acclaim in the independent press and has gone on to tremendous commercial success. Tempus's eputation is therefore solely the result of unexpectedly high fidelity from a speakerof its modest origin and cost.

For Tempus' development, Swans agreed to supply premium componentsfor what evolved into a rigorous electroacoustics design program, executed to the highest European standards. The resulting design's performance was then subjected to stringent laboratory confirmation and completely documented in the audio press, including revealing measurements not typical for any loudspeaker much less one of this kind and category.Tempus has since gone on to stake top performance awards from acclaimed KLANG+TON magazine of Germany, during which time Swans cancelled all advertisements and further commentary.

The independently produced Tempus is now one of Europe's most favored loudspeakers, leaving listeners admiring its naturally musical sound and excellent value. The design is already a classic, destined to sweep the audio world in a fashion similar to its current success.

The new Swans Tempus set includes:

- 2 x 1.1"/28mm Swans TN28 soft-dome tweeters with open-air housing, ferrofluid cooling, decompression chamber, integrated grille and German-made silk dome;

- 2 x 6.5"/165mm Swans F-6 shielded high efficiency midbass drivers, with Kevlar/paper curvilinear cone, phasing plug, and alloy basket;
- 2 x completed crossover networks with premium-grade components;
- two sets heavy input terminals;
- two pairs internal cable sets, and complete manufacturer's instructions.

All Tempus kits are thoroughly pre-tested by Swans and come in matched acoustical sets.
