Höffner Speaker
the h10 loudspeaker line:
Manufacture loudspeakers with powerful dynamics and a wealth of details that open up a wonderfully realistic stage. Three presets can be selected to match the H10-Speaker to its listening environment.
In perfect harmony – the basic prerequisite for a natural sound experience is a distortion-free and tonally balanced reproduction of the loudspeaker. We achieve this goal by using the finest components and the perfect interplay of cabinet, drivers and crossover. Nothing is left to chance, everything is carefully matched.
For the development of the H10, we use the key technology from the development of the H1 loudspeaker. The result is a manufactured loudspeaker with powerful dynamics and great detail that opens up a wonderfully realistic stage – all this even at low volume – pure musical enjoyment.
We have developed three different H10 models for different requirements.

H10:
description
As a two-way system in the smallest cabinet, the Höffner H10 loudspeaker delivers an authentic musical performance with tremendous listening pleasure.
It is both a monitor and a fine speaker with enormous low-range – and not in a classic box, but in a low-resonance multi-layer cabinet with a contemporary interior design.

Crossover network
the crossover network:
Every orchestra needs a conductor so that all participants act harmoniously with each other, as a unit – this applies in particular to the correct insertion and a correct tuning. Transferred to our loudspeakers, the requirement is: perfect timing and exact tonal transitions between the different drivers. Responsible for this teamwork, whether active or passive loudspeaker, is the crossover. Realised in a DSP – or quite conventionally, with appropriate components – it forms the heart of the loudspeaker.
The specially developed Höffner development environment allows us to optimize the frequency and phase response synchronously – the result is a sensationally smooth frequency response with the lowest possible phase deviation.
Simply spoken this means that the Höffner crossovers ensure a realistic representation of the room and a detailed, authentically perceived musical experience.

H10: the active module
The dsp-controlled active module – pure control:
The Höffner Class D amplifiers are a real sensation. They are characterised by very low distortion, high damping factor and a linear frequency response. As with the passive H10, the impedance of the connected loudspeaker has no influence on the frequency response here. This results in distortion-free reproduction without falsification of the music signal, even during loud passages. Everything remains controlled, impulsive and true to nature.
Sophisticated protection circuits guard the H10: loudspeaker against DC voltage at the output and overtemperature. The output power is automatically reduced if the temperature is too high and then increased again when it has cooled down. In the event of DC voltage at the output, the system switches off automatically.
The H10: can be adjusted to the listening environment at the touch of a button. Three settings are available for this purpose. This can effectively counteract excessive bass reproduction, for example, when placed close to the corners of the room. Of course, it can also be used to add something.
THE DRIVERS
the loudspeaker drivers:
Our premise in selecting drivers: minimum distortion and maximum linearity
The H10: system draws enormous, yet always precise and contoured low-frequency power from a 17 cm bass driver with a torsion-resistant coating cone and powerful long-stroke drive. The tweeter ensures an airy, transparent high-frequency range and perfect spatial imaging: a 26 mm textile dome tweeter with a distortion-free frequency response – far beyond the listening area.

PASSIV MEMBRAN
The reproduction of the lowest frequencies is guaranteed by a 22 cm passive diaphragm. It works in place of a bass reflex tube and ensures reproduction without flow noises and unequal-phase frequency components. Precisely calibrated and tuned to its working range, it helps the H10 to achieve an amazing bass foundation and precise, dynamic bass reproduction.
BASS – MIDRANGE DRIVER
The 17 cm deep-midrange chassis has a very light and distortion-resistant cone with special coatings. In combination with the low-loss suspension and an extremely precise long-stroke motor, this results in dynamic and exceptionally rhythmically agile bass reproduction and allows this chassis to play with particular clarity and tonal subtlety.
TWEETER
A tweeter with excellent, airy performance is responsible for the high frequency range. Its 26 mm textile cone offers a fabulously distortion-free frequency response in the working range up to over 30 kHz with an exceptionally homogeneous sound distribution. In this way, the H10 guarantees an excellent, vivid and detailed reproduction of the music signal at all listening positions.

THE DRIVERS
the loudspeaker drivers:
Our premise in selecting drivers: minimum distortion and maximum linearity
The H10plus system draws enormous, yet always precise and contoured power from a 29 cm woofer driver with a torsionally stiff aluminium cone and powerful long-throw drive. The 15 cm bass-midrange driver has its own volume inside the cabinet – so it can work undisturbed, so to say. The combination of an enormously powerful neodymium drive and an ultra-light coating cone allows this driver to play with particular clarity and tonal subtlety. The tweeter ensures an airy, transparent high-frequency range and perfect spatial representation: a 26 mm textile dome tweeter with a distortion-free frequency response – far beyond the listening area.

A noble dome tweeter is responsible for the high-frequency range. Its 26 mm textile diaphragm offers a fabulously distortion-free frequency response in the working range up to over 30 kHz with an extraordinarily homogeneous sound distribution. In this way, the H10 guarantees an excellent, plastic and finely ethereal reproduction of the music signal at all listening positions.

H10plus Hybrid
Passively connected loudspeaker with active bass support
The Höffner crossover, a precision module:
Höffner crossovers are developed in a network with the drivers, so to speak. This means they are not susceptible to resonance and do not pose a major challenge to the connected amplifier. The selected high-end components – both loudspeaker chassis and crossover components – are selected in pairs. This reduces the already very low series tolerances even further. Soldered by hand with silver solder, identical pairs are created for crystal-clear, holographic reproduction and absolute transparency.
The Höffner pole terminals are the result of careful construction. They are solidly manufactured and provide a secure hold for the connected wires. They also have rhodium-coated contact surfaces. This ensures connection with the lowest contact resistance and reliable, fault-free transmission of the music signal.
Active bass support
The DSP-supported active module is a sensation. It ensures precise and deep bass reproduction and allows the H10 hybrid to play finely agile and also powerful. The H10plus hybrid can be connected to existing music systems and enhances them with additional power reserves.
At the push of a button, the H10plus hybrid loudspeaker can be adjusted to the listening environment. Three presets are available for this purpose. This can be used to effectively counteract excessive bass reproduction, for example, when placed close to the corners of the room. Of course, it can also be used to add something.

the enclosure:
The housing of the Höffner H10 is handcrafted and consists of a combination of wood glued in different directions and vibration-inhibiting materials. This composite material is characterised by its special absorption capacity. It allows the construction of enclosures with a perfect ratio of stiffness, damping and mass. This reduces the natural vibrations of the enclosure and the acoustic transmission of sound to a minimum. In addition, the inner sides of the Höffner H10plus are designed in such a way that they direct the sound in different directions – on its way through the enclosure, the sound is then absorbed by means of suitable materials and standing waves inside the enclosure are avoided.
The shape of the Höffner H10 loudspeakers and their shallow cabinet depth make them easy to place in the room. It is classic, unobtrusive and technically functional and ensures – as a prerequisite for authentic reproduction – that the sound arrives simultaneously at the listening position. The Höffner speaker stands made of 10mm solid aluminium round off the performance of the H10 and provide the necessary inclination.

The finish
For the finish of the Höffner H10, only selected materials are used that blend in individually with the living environment.
The different surfaces of the housing allow a perfect adaptation of the loudspeaker to its environment.
The speaker feet made of solid aluminium form a unit with the housing. They, too, can be customised in colour and round off the outer appearance.
Acoustically highly permeable speaker covers in various colours offer wide scope for design freedom.
the design:
The clear and refined contours of the Höffner H10 speak their very own design language. They are reminiscent of the Bauhaus design, appear classically retrospective and yet completely modern. At the same time, the Höffner product design offers the optimal design space for excellent acoustics. The H10 is a technical and design masterpiece. Both unobtrusive and appealing, the H10 sets new standards in technology and aesthetics.
