The Ariva delivers blistering
performance and engaging musicality within a wide range of budget
systems. 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,
available in a range of modern, real wood veneers.
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 Ariva drive units:
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.
