Description :
The Naim Audio Ariva delivers blistering performance and engaging musicality within a wide range of budget systems. The Naim Ariva is an affordable and easily positioned floor-standing, three-way design featuring separate chambers for each high-technology driver, a braced and resonance controlled enclosure and a separate isolating plinth. Each Ariva drive unit is separated into its own compartment, substantially reducing mechanical interference thereby providing a predictable acoustic performance not possible in conventionally configured loudspeakers. Non-parallel enclosure surfaces reduce internal standing waves and create a visually stunning loudspeaker. Naim's own thermally stable aluminium mass damping is incorporated to control and reduce resonance. The separate plinth combines isolating cones and spikes, ideally controlling the critical interface between loudspeaker and floor.
The two 180mm bass-mid drivers feature a computer modelled aluminium chassis with airflow-optimised profile. The multi-roll surround, wood fibre cone, dust cap and low distortion magnet system all contribute to the high power handling and astonishing control of the Ariva. The 19mm wide-dispersion tweeter features a copper-clad aluminium voice coil, a dual concentric diaphragm and wave-guide centre plug. As with all Naim products, standards of manufacture equal those of design to ensure the perfect matching of the drive units and all other acoustic elements. The Ariva is designed to be easy to position and set up, ensuring consistently engaging results in every situation. The lack of resonance and mechanical interference provides a life-like effortlessness, realising all of the music's natural qualities.
