When
it comes to down to it everything is only as good as
the
complete system it allows. Because all expenditure would
be worth only the half, if the cabinet or the crossover
denies the necessary precision for the Manger® sound
transducer and takes influence on a best possible result.
For this it was taken care in a large extent at the
development of the new version of the Zerobox® 103.
Details
of the enclosure and crossover improvements clearly
demonstrate the new Zerobox 103’s superb sophistication
of design and engineering. The thickness of the cabinet
walls, for example, is strategically varied to prevent
longitudinal or transversal waves from creating unwanted
resonance. Moreover, an ingenious mechanical bracing
design greatly enhances the cabinet’s superior
stiffness. Then to further dampen and stabilise the
new Zerobox 103, specially formulated resonate-absorbing
materials are applied to the cabinet’s inner walls.
The design and engineering feats do not stop there however.
Manger engineers utilise their proven closed cabinet
design (no reflex port in the lower bass section) to
further ensure against unwanted resonance.
The
crossover is critical to any loudspeaker’s performance,
including the Zerobox 103. Taking a cost no object
approach, and to fully realise the unparalleled sonic
attributes of the Zerobox 103, separate high and low
pass crossovers, "zero-ohm" transformer
core coils, and the industry’s highest quality
capacitors are all that is allowed onboard. Finally,
cross-talk attenuation is a non-issue due to the superb
design and layout of the crossover network.
No
description of a Zerobox loudspeaker would be complete
without mentioning the very "heart n soul"
of its great sonic reproduction capabilities the world
renowned Manger Sound Transducer. Perfectly framed
and supported by a highly engineered enclosure, the
upper section of the Zerobox 103 is home to three
Manger Sound Transducers, which are cleverly positioned
to fully allow this speaker to "strut its stuff".
From
its huge, wide open, holographic soundstage, to its
pinpoint precision and incredible detail, the zerobox
103 is nothing short of astounding, a music lover’s
dream come true. Seamless top to bottom consistency,
pure, articulate upper bass and midrange, with airy
detailed highs all add up to one thing… this
is the benchmark loudspeaker of tomorrow.
And
speaking of the future… the Manger Sound Transducer,
with its lightning fast rise time and super high frequency
response, will reign supreme throughout the next generation
of high end audio SACD and DVD as the # 1 choice of
audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts shopping
for new loudspeakers.
Welcome
to the next generation. Experience the new Zerobox-103
and hear the future for yourself.

The
ZB 103 and ZB 107 can be purchased using 1 Manger
drive unit per speaker in the front panel (this is
known as a upgrading version) or using 3 Manger drive
units per speaker 1 in the front panel and 1 either
side. The 3 Manger drive unit models are the far superior.
If you purchase a upgrading version i.e. 1 manger
drive unit per speaker the cabinets are only available
with cutted holes for the 2 side drivers, which are
closed with dummy plates. This allows a cheaper purchase
price and the availability to upgrade at a later date
without having to modify the cabinets

Why three Manger drive units
The side mounted drivers create an acoustic baffle,
with no omnidirectional radiation. The front driver
is still the main driver, and the side drivers are
switched in serial with a coil, so that they just
support the front driver's radiation like an infinite
baffle. The result is that you can't recognise the
cabinet.
