Concept
With the development of the MasterONE, we followed the idea of combining the uniqueness of the coaxial ribbon system and major elements of the slender column loudspeaker in one as a dipoleemitting system for the first time in the world. We have succeeded in setting yet another milestone in the history of loudspeaker construction. The unconventional but extremely innovative housing shape, originating from the pen of Hannes Wettstein, arose using a costly and advanced production procedure. Using fine materials and high precision production processes, we were able to implement the acoustically perfect housing – and this is audibly obvious in the sound qualities. The sound capabilities are simply magnificent: room-filling, crystal-clear, lively sound images even at whisper-quiet levels, extraordinary impulse behaviour and bass strength are the outstanding features of the «master». The MasterONE is predestined to fill even the biggest rooms with sound, and shines with authentic and extremely finely-defined reproduction. It is listening pleasure for the senses, uncompromising and impressive!

Switzerland
Hannes Wettstein (1958-2008) Hannes Wettstein was one of the most influential Swiss designers. Even his career path corresponded to someone who didn’t go by the rule book: Wettstein, born in 1958 in Ascona, first completed studies in building draughtsmanship; his further training as designer and architect was autodidactic. He was as fascinated by technological developments as he was by art history and architecture and his manner of developing ideas always had a touch of alchemy or invention. He continually questioned norms, be they societal, industrial, cultural or ritual, in order to be able to reinvent, explained Wettstein. This comprehensiveness was not an attitude but a method. His openness to continually re-thinking all that defines design – daily routines, spatial organisation and the purposes of things – led him to surprisingly simple solutions that stand the test of time. Hannes Wettstein designed functional objects with such elegance and perfection that they took on their own identities, something that momentary fashions can never achieve. In spatial design he also created architypes: site-specific and sensitive overall solutions, interior designs or set designs.
