PRANA
Active Wireless Speaker
CRAFTED IN THE FUTURE
ROOTED IN LIFE FORCE
In Hindu philosophy, the Sanskrit word Prana signifies the universal life force—an omnipresent energy that breathes vitality into all existence. Prana is the breath itself—the very essence of life. Without it, the body cannot survive.
Goldmund’s Prana is a tribute to the engineers who meticulously crafted this masterpiece, breathing life into the musical message with an impressive level of purity and neutrality.
A BOLD DESIGN
At first glance, Prana commands attention with its striking, almost robotic silhouette, reminiscent of a vision from a sci-fi universe. As part of the legendary Apologue lineage, one of Goldmund’s most iconic speaker designs, it embodies both heritage and innovation.
A FUTURISTIC EDGE
The structure consists of two elegantly stacked aluminum enclosures, securely nestled within a precision-engineered metallic frame. Distinctive round wheels ensure a flawless fit, merging aesthetics with functionality.
Iconic Design, Legendary Sound
The thick aluminum casing, micro-blasted for a refined finish, is available in Goldmund’s signature grey or, upon request, in matte black and anthracite grey.
Beyond aesthetics, Prana’s geometric elegance serves a functional purpose, channeling the principles of modern art while enhancing acoustic performance.
SOUND IN ITS PUREST FORM
Prana is designed to deliver sound as close to reality as possible—no coloration, no distortion, no noise. Every note, every breath of a recording is reproduced with absolute fidelity, allowing you to experience music precisely as it was intended.
ELIMINATING VIBRATION
To ensure unparalleled clarity, Prana incorporates Goldmund’s Mechanical Grounding technology. A specialized tip running through the speaker structure evacuates unwanted vibrations to the earth, preserving the purity of the audio signal. The speaker’s inherent weight further minimizes spurious vibrations, ensuring an ultra-stable performance.
INNOVATION MEETS PERFECTION
At the heart of Prana’s inception lies Proteus LS, Goldmund’s proprietary modeling software. The modelling calculates the loudspeaker system in impedance, volume velocity, membrane displacement, and sound pressure anywhere in space, amplitude, phase and group delay.
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
Equipped with Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) featuring
- Digital crossovers for precise frequency separation
- Optimal gains for an impeccable audio experience
- Optimal delays for accurate phase alignment
- Leonardo Time Correction Algorithm for perfect phase distortion correction
ADVANCED ENGINEERING
Prana is a 3-way active speaker, delivering a frequency response of 35 Hz to 25 kHz (-6 dB). Each unit houses one amplifier per driver, with a total of 600W of Telos power— Goldmund’s exclusive Class A/B amplification technology, derived from decades of research and refinement. Highly linear analog components, a high-bandwidth circuit, and custom-made electronic elements set the built-in Telos amplifiers apart, exerting precise control over Prana’s drivers.
JUST PURE MUSIC
Custom-designed state-of-the-art drivers offer an extended frequency range and dynamic response, reproducing the most delicate nuances and capturing every emotion in the music. The integration of advanced crossovers ensures seamless frequency blending, producing an expansive, immersive soundscape with remarkable balance and dispersion.
SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY
For ultimate flexibility, Prana can connect to the audio source either wired or wireless. As a standalone system, it can function independently with a computer music library as a wireless source.
For multi-source setups—including a TV, disc player, or other components— Prana pairs effortlessly with Goldmund Hubs and processors, delivering a fully immersive audio experience without the need for excessive cables or additional audio equipment.
PURE SOUND, PURE EMOTION
Goldmund is relentless in its pursuit of absolute sound fidelity. Why? Because only the highest level of realism can evoke the deepest emotions and purest pleasure in music listening. With Prana, you’re not just listening—you’re experiencing music as it was meant to be heard.
