New Speakers Made In France

30 years of passion , research and innovations

French electro-acoustic manufacturer

TRIANGLE has been designing, making

and assembling high-quality speakers for

over 30 years from its headquarters in

Soissons, the cradle of the French

monarchy.

30 years of passion: TRIANGLE continues

to strive for the highest possible level to

provide music lovers with perfection in

t e r m s o f n o c o m p r o m i s e s o u n d

reproduction, faithfully conveying the

emotion and beauty of music.

TRIANGLE has decided to relocate part of

its manufacturing process to France, with

the view of producing top quality speakers

utilizing the expertise and the experience

of its local teams. “The entire process,

from conception to production, has been

revisited, so as to combine technology with

French know how in terms of sound

reproduction.” (Marc Le Bihan , CEO)

Made in France, the success of the Magellan r a n g e h a s r e i n f o r c e d o u r o b j e c t i v e o f manufacturing top quality products in Soissons.

“”

TRIANGLE’s original founder Renaud de Vergnettes decided to leave the company and Olivier Decelle completed the control of the business. With the help of Marc Le Bihan, they proceeded to modernize the company, whilst making a concerted effort to retain the company’s core values, sound and status.

MARC LE BIHAN ; TRIANGLE CEO

Manufactured in France TRIANGLE’s bet on quality

TRIANGLE is concentrating on its expertise:

electro-acoustic manufacturing. The

company’s goal has remained the same over

the past 30 years :

the development of loudspeakers and cabinets,

reproducing the core emotion of music with

increasing precision and vitality.

Olivier Decelle Shareholder and TRIANGLE’s most committed enthusiast

Reaffirming his dedication to the brand, Olivier Decelle decided to become a minority shareholder of TRIANGLE. At the same time, the company went through a complete reorganization period and securing its position on the French market. As a result, the TRIANGLE brand quickly became one of the top three French hi-fi manufacturers.

An avid hi-fi fan, at the age of 23 years old, Olivier Decelle decided to open an Hi-Fi store on rue Saint Jacques, Paris. In 1980 he became one of TRIANGLE’s very first retailers by selling the first TRIANGLE’ ‘model 1180’ speaker .

The Signature cabinets are made

from 7 high-density fiberboards

of 3mm bent with a press so as to

obtain an overall thickness of

21mm. This high-density cabinet

helps to considerably reduce the

speaker’s vibratory behavior.

After three weeks of intense work,

the wood becomes both supple

and very resistant. The front panel

is reinforced to attain a thickness

of 25mm.

The top of the cabinet is beveled at

an angle of 5° to round off the

edges and to better reflect light.

This level of attention to the finest

detail is the key of to a high quality

product

In view of embellishing this

woodwork and of achieving a

special luster, either seven or ten

coats of paint are added during

production in order to reach the

“piano lacquer” finish. The

cabinets are carefully polished to

remove any flaws before adding a

new layer of paint.

Luxury woodwork Lacquer pianos and rare wood

Over the years, TRIANGLE has developed and patented innovations,

improving upon the mechanics and vibrations of loud speakers. For example,

it was the first company in the history of hi-fi to use a pod-mounted tweeter

when it designed the CX2 back in 1981 – this is now commonplace in

loudspeaker design. This positioning feature guarantees balanced control of

resonance from the front of the cabinet and diffraction caused by changes in

the cabinet’s shape. Other unique technology such as the twin vent and the

SPEC system play their part in making TRIANGLE’s speakers unique.

Spec (Single point energy

conductor) is a brushed steel point.

Similar to the design of a cello, it

evacuates part of the mechanical

energy towards the floor, thus

improving sound quality. Cabinet

vibration is kept to the minimum

and has little effect on sound

reproduction. Again, TRIANGLE‘s

attention to seemingly small

details such as this gives it a

distinct and unique advantage.

30 years of R&Dand acoustic expertise

3 0 y e a r s o f i n n o v a t i o n s

Every product from the Signature range is available in 3

finishes: A mahogany varnish finish, a black lacquered

piano finish or a white lacquered piano finish.

For many years now, TRIANGLE has been investing in the latest technology to

constantly innovate and improve its acoustic expertise. A Klippel system is used

to conceive and simulate loudspeakers. Modern prototyping tools such as 3D

printers, the latest CAD software, as well as MLSSA and CLIO measuring

systems, enable the company to put theory into practice. Many different types

of tests help to define the best-adapted shapes and most suitable material to use.

Live MusicTriangle's goal is to share the emotion of live performance, to realistically reproduce the sensation and realism of every instrument or voice. You don't

just listen to a Triangle loudspeaker, you feel it.

Luxury craftsmanship the art of sound, with a French touch

Delivering pure listening pleasure, the

Signature range has been created thanks to

the efforts of craftsmen whose experience

in the domain of acoustics and aesthetic

design speaks for itself. The range’s

conception, and design was 100%

implemented in France at TRIANGLE’s

workshop in Soissons.

Thanks to the experience gained from the

Magellan range, TRIANGLE is currently

offering a form of luxury craftsmanship with

SIGNATURE, born from the passion and the

work of its teams. Each item is made and

assembled with uncompromised precision to

strive for manufacturing perfection and

irreproachable sound.

This form of luxury craftsmanship combines

the finest woodwork with TRIANGLE’s

acoustic expertise. Each cabinet benefits from

many hours of work and inspection to obtain

the impeccable design and finishing that is

essential to any TRIANGLE product.

This luxury craftsmanship combines the highest level cabinetwork with TRIANGLE’s acoustic expertise.

“”

H i g h p r e c i s i o n assembly

The Signature range is made entirely in

Soissons. TRIANGLE has completely

reviewed its manufacturing process,

and the company’s development

engineers work closely together to

deliver a high quality product.

Numerous acoustic tests are carried out

throughout the whole process to ensure

that each element of design adheres to

the company’s high standard. Each

driver is measure to be as identical as

possible and the speaker is tested in an

anechoic chamber. Afterwards a

sample is taken and listened.

Real wood finishes are carefully

selected to ensure a homogenous and

attractive pairing.

Anechoic chamber developed for high

end products

Technological Innovations

Tweeter TZ2500 – a driver in die-cast aluminumA new phase plug has been designed to go with the 2mm titanium dome. The tweeter

horn is 100% injected aluminum developed originally for the Magellan project. At

present, Tweeter’s larger surface offers a greater dispersion of high frequencies. The

volume of compression of the tweeter’s back chamber has also been increased to offer

better shock absorbance, thereby preventing the return of sound waves on the dome.

These enhancements have improved upon the quality of high frequencies in terms of

detail, finesse and transparency, as well as minimal sound distortion.

Medium Range – Paper cone driver offering clear sound The 185cm aluminum basket has been entirely redesigned to provide better ventilation

to its double-layered coil. It is equipped with a small pleat, peripheral short travel

suspension. The new version of its cone in treated paper offers increased clarity at

this very important frequency section of sound reproduction. The phase plug has been

replaced by a dust cap of identical shape and size to prevent air from escaping, as it

would normally do so in an enclosed volume.

Woofer - Double ferrites for deep low performance This driver benefits from numerous enhancements producing a faster and deeper bass.

It is equipped with a double magnet motor, a double-layered coil and an inverted

half-roll rubber suspension, all of which ensure a faster speaker response. Its fiberglass

cone has been improved upon to offer extra speed. The entire central part is closed

with an aluminum cover.

Bookshelf and Center Woofer: VersatilityThe bookshelf and center channel woofer is specially designed for these speakers.

The main difficulty lay in the technical prowess to develop a bass unit able to

reproduce low frequencies without requiring a large volume load and also maintain

linearity in the high frequencies. As other SIGNATURE’s models it uses the same

aluminum basket and treated paper cone in order to get a perfect tonal balance. Its

dust cap shaped as a phase plug reduces surges and prevents any sonic aggression

without adding more of electronic components

of SIGNATURE range

Terminal : High Quality copper AlloyEach model is equipped with a terminal for bi-wiring or bi-amplification. The

terminals are designed and assembled by TRIANGLE. Built with High quality

copper alloy they provide an excellent conductivity. They accommodate a 5 mm

diameter cable and receive banana plugs with a locking system for excellent

security.

Twin vent: solid bassThe unique element to the Twin Vent is that it discharges the rear wave created

by the bass drivers through a single vent. This system means that each of the

drivers can operate in complete isolation. Increasing the volume of the sound

does not disrupt the tonal balance, the only remaining distortion limit is the driver

mechanics. The results in terms of power handling are amazing. The listening

experience offers dynamic, solid, well sustained bass.

Filters and Inside Cables High quality components

The performance optimization of each loudspeaker has allowed TRIANGLE to use fewer components in its filters and audio signal path.

As a result, the range benefits from greater transparency and a more refined tonal balance. The new filtering system, separating the bass

section and the midrange/treble section on the Delta and Alpha models eliminates the emission of electromagnetic waves and improves

upon the finesse of the midrange/high frequencies.

The internal cable (supplied by highly-regarded US manufacturer, Kimber Kable) was selected for its detail when it comes to the

medium/high frequencies and for its steadiness in relation to the bass frequencies. The combination of these two cables, containing strands

of different sections, minimizes resonance and enhances performance.
