IMMERSIVE SOUND TRANSMITTED AT 360°.

Zikmu is a daring blend of design and acoustics. We wanted to create an elegant high performance object that would integrate harmoniously into any interior. After nearly three years of research, and with the help of leading audio specialists, these loudspeakers of a different kind are now available. The concept is based on a unique combination of various acoustic technologies, made possible by means of sophisticated signal processing (DSP). The result is an impressive sound image emanating from an unobtrusive beautifully-designed object.

FLAT PANEL NXT technology uses a quite different principle from a conventional loudspeaker. A honey comb membrane structure is vibrated by a set of exciters located in carefully defined positions. In addition, the panel's characteristic radiation diagram shows that radiationfrom the edges is low, making it possible to minimise reflections on the sides of the panel and prevent interference with furniture in the room. Unlike a conventional loudspeaker (fig.1) acting as a point source, a panel's emitting surface is wider, resulting in uniform energy distribution (fig.2). Reflections from the room's walls are more diffuse, that enrich the sound image rather than imparing it through destructive interference
COMPACT BASS CASING The bottom part of the loudspeaker contains a powerful woofer placed in the downfire position, and a bass-reflex system. Bass reproduction is amplified by placing the housing as close as possible to the floor, although size remains at a an unobtrusive level (fig.3). The woofer is equipped with a neodymium magnet for maximum power in minimum space. The box interior is reinforced by a metal structure that eliminates distortion. FLAWLESS STEREO IMAGE Parrot draws on its wireless technology to deliver a perfect stereo image. Two real left and right speakers provide rich and deep sound. Thanks to the wireless link between the two speakers, you no longer have to settle for second best as with other iPod docking stations. With our PC software, you can easily assign the left or right stereo channel to either of the speakers.
THE POWER OF DSP Space radiation analysis The combination of panel and woofer was made possible by very specific control of all electrodynamic elements via a system of DSP processing and amplifiers. Unlike conventional loudspeakers designed to produce an ideal axial response, Parrot By Starck loudspeakers radiate energy homogeneously throughout the entire room (fig.4). The electronic architecture is ideally suited to this type of use. A powerful DSP synchronised at 200MHz carries out the digital filtering and feeds into a set of amplifiers dedicated to each driver. Therefore Class-D amplifiers were chosen so as to achieve maximum efficiency and minimum heat dispersion.
ELECTRONIC ARCHITECTURE The combination of radiation from the woofer and the flat panel is therefore perfectly controlled. It is this unique use of a DSP with individually controlled exciters that makes it possible to obtain very high quality sound from an elegant minimalist object (fig.5).
