Luxman LUXMAN - High End Audio seit 1925 Die Denkweise von LuxmanTechnik als Mittel zum Zweck. Seit Anbeginn der Menschheit spielt Musik eine außerordentliche Rolle um Gefühle auszudrücken und andere daran teilhaben zu lassen. Musik führte zur Erfindung von Musikinstrumenten und im weiteren Verlauf zu einer regelrechten Interaktion zwischen Instrument, Komponist und Musikern. Stradivaris Geigen seien hier als bestes Beispiel genannt.Stradivari perfektionierte den Geigenbau, indem er mutig mit neuen Formen, Materialien und Ausführungen experimentierte. Zu seinen Lebzeiten baute er 1116 Geigen, von denen 540 heute noch existieren. Seine Kreationen waren und sind eine Quelle der Inspiration für zahlreiche Musiker und Komponisten. In den 200 Jahren seit seinem Tod, ist es niemandem gelungen eine Geige mit einem vergleichbaren Sound herzustellen, obwohl sich die technischen Möglichkeiten dramatisch verbessert haben.Durchaus ähnlich verhält es sich bei der Herstellung hochwertigster Luxman Audio Komponenten. Obwohl es zahlreiche regelrechte Revolutionen in der Audio Industrie gegeben hat, heutzutage kann jeder zu jeder Zeit überall Musik hören, gibt es doch kaum Komponenten die die einmalige emotionale Kraft einer Stradivari wirklich wiedergeben könnten oder gar eine eigene Persönlichkeit einer Stradivari besitzen. LUXMAN Geräte haben eine solche Persönlichkeit. LUXMAN Ingenieure beachten die Form, das Aussehen, die Haptik und andere die Sinne ansprechende Faktoren. Sie schaffen eine Skulptur, kein technisches Allerweltsprodukt. Eine jede Audiokomponente sollte hervorragende Messwerte ausweisen. Aber wer die besten Messwerte hat, klingt noch lange nicht am besten! Es gibt keine Möglichkeit von Messwerten auf die Intensität der Gefühle, die die Wiedergabe bei seinem Hörer auslöst zu schließen. LUXMAN legt größten Wert auf physikalische Grundlagen, aber eben noch mehr auf unzählige Hörtests, denn unser Gehör ist unbestechlich. Schlechte Wiedergabe nervt und ermüdet, aber eine fantastische Wiedergabe entspannt, nimmt den Stress und lässt uns Musik ganz tief in unserem Inneren genießen.Luxman Historie Als 1925 der Rundfunk in Japan startete, wurde auch die Firma Luxman gegründet und bietet seitdem HighEnd Audio Produkte mit hervorragender Verarbeitung und Klangqualität an. Luxman wird weltweit als eine der besten Hersteller für hochwertige Audioprodukte hoch geschätzt.Die Menschen sind offen für natürliche Dinge und hüten sich vor unnatürlichen Dingen. Natürlicher Klang, frei von künstlicher Verarbeitung, bietet die Möglichkeit für einen intimen Dialog zwischen Mensch und Musik.Der natürliche und echte Einfluss der Musik auf die Vorstellungskraft des Hörers bildet die Grundlage, auf die Luxman bei der Herstellung seiner Komponenten achtet. Die Musiker bringen ihre Leidenschaft in die Musik ein, während die Toningenieure sie so präzise wie möglich aufnehmen.Luxman strebt aufrichtig danach, die damit verbundenen Klänge und feinsten Klangnuancen vollständig wiederzugeben und den Geist der Musiker und die ganze Atmosphäre von Konzerten zu übertragen, um die musikalische Begeisterung so realistisch wie möglich zu vermitteln.Die Entwickler bei Luxman arbeiten für HighEnd Produkte, um die Leidenschaft jedes Musikstücks, die von Komponisten, Abspielgeräten und Toningenieuren ausgedrückt wird, an die Zuhörer weiterzugeben, wobei wir den Enthusiasmus von Luxman mit dem gleichen Eifer wie die der Musiker und Toningenieure einsetzen. Anlässlich des 80-jährigen Jubiläums der Stiftung arbeitet Luxman daran, durch exzellente Musik weitere Begeisterung zu finden und das Klangerlebnis mit Kunden und Musikfreunden zu teilen.Luxman Story 1925LUXMAN started its business in 1925, the year when the radio broadcasting started in Japan. The company called Kinsuido, a picture frame company in Osaka, made a radio department, which later became LUX. Kinsuido was the first company to display and sell radio receiving equipments at the stores. A lot of people stopped to listen to the beauty of the sound. This was the very beginning of LUXMAN’s long history of tonal quality pursuit. Kinsuido received a lot of information from overseas through imports of the pictures and frames. LUXMAN founder who was the 2nd President of Kinsuido was keen on the technical information of radio and he experimented and researched radio and audio. Kinsuido radio book with its catch phrase “Reading once makes you the radio expert” was the Japan –first radio manual book published by Kinsuido. It was at first self-published but later became the best seller until the 14th edition at the end. This book is known for its influence on audio engineers nowadays. 1928 LUXMAN-735 was a hi-fi radio sold together with a magnetic-horn speaker. 1952 since the beginning, Kinsuido radio department tried to have better technology to produce excellent radio/radio parts than overseas’. LUXMAN succeeded to develop high quality parts such as OY type output transformers. 1958 Stereo records of 45/45 launched and the main audio source became the records replaced from radio. This year LUXMAN launched MA-7A, a hi-fi power amp by full assemble after the world war. This featured world patented original technology cross-over NFB circuit. 1961 The Luxman SQ-5A was a masterpiece of it's era, which gained popularity due to the unique look of the level meter located in the middle of the front panel. This design, combined with it's high-quality sound, became a huge hit. This model was already equipped with the LUX original tone control circuit, which can be found in our latest models. 1962 The Luxman SQ-65 was equipped with our patent motion-feedback technology. This circuit controlled feedback to the amplifier according to the movement of the speaker's paper cone. Luxman Phono equalizer amplifier PZ - 11 using germanium transistor for the first time in Japan. Small and slim design also gained popularity. 1964 The Luxman SQ-38, which was born as vacuum tube integrated amp in a wooden cabinet with aluminium front panel, was later developed as the SQ-38D, SQ-38F and SQ-38FD models and the 70’s anniversary model, the SQ-38S. This was a popular series and you could find them everywhere, such as at many Jazz cafés back then, being a staple of the quality hi-fi amp market. 1966The Luxman MQ-36 was designed without an output transformer, referred to as an OTL (Output Transformer-Less) amp. It became a popular model with a unique tasteful sound quality. 1968 The Luxman SQ-505 and the SQ-507 are the original designs which have been developed into our current 500 series. The essence of that design and the sound quality are captured in our L-507 and L-509f models. 1971-80 DIY amps were popular at this time and LUXMAN founded the “LUX Kit” company, offering 70 products, including vacuum tube amps, transistor amps, turntables and other units. The brand resonated well with the audio enthusiast market. 1972 The Luxman “L&G” brand was established in order to realize new proposals for audio product designs as lifestyle products. Our audio systems incorporating glamorous design and orange and white styling were popular. We gained support from those users who were always ahead current fashion. 1975 Luxman celebrated its 50th anniversary and became very proactive in the overseas market. The M-6000 high power amplifier was developed to break into the hi-end market, delivering an output of 300 Watts per channel. The power and the sound quality received great reviews from overseas. 1977 Luxman launched a new audio system, the "Laboratory Reference Series" that takes component styles from various functional units, such as developing the world's first DC amplifier configuration. We also utilized the latest audio technologies such as synthesized tuners and high-performance equalizer circuits. 1980 The Luxman vacuum stabilizer system made the surface of an analog vinyl record stick to turntable with no air gap in between. It was an epoch-making mechanism, avoiding the influence on the sound quality caused by warped records. 1982 LUXMAN developed a new transport mechanism, pulling the tape from the cassette into the reading system. This technology attracted attention as its sound quality was comparable to that of open reel tape. 1987 Luxman developed a fluency DAC applying function complementation theory by Professor Toraichi of University of Tsukuba which adopted the fluency DAC. Techniques for regenerating bands other than audible bands that are not recorded on CD by function interpolation have expanded the possibilities for CD audio sources. This technology is also inherited to the current digital universal player. 1990 Luxman developed a top loading CD player which eliminated the certain unstable moving parts. Many audio fans still enjoy listening to the D-500X, which features the highly regarded Philips CDM-3 mechanism and excellent double crown IC chip. 1995 Luxmans 70th Anniversary Commemorative model. With a quartet EL34 output tubes in push-pull configuration and Williamson circuitry, we poured all of our knowhow into this model to truly polish the audio quality. 1996Luxman regarded as the flagship model for ten years, C-10 and B-10 We applied a new design for this flagship system, with a Champagne gold finished symmetrical exterior and rose to the challenge of new technologies, such as the quadruple super ultimate attenuator, which spans a range of 456 fixed high precision resistors. This was adopted for C-10 and was popular amongst many audiophiles. 1999World's first ODNF incorporated into the CM-2100 power amp for in-car audio After many years of development, a new feedback circuit was born and applied to power amplifiers for in-car audio. Everyone was surprised, as this product brought the same quality values as home audio to the car industry. This model became a reference model for many car dealerships and car audio magazines. 2001 The era-defining DU-10, Luxman's first offering to the high-end universal audio player market, boldly challenging the wide open field of new music formats such as SACD and DVD audio with high audio quality. 2003LUXMAN's first fully-fledged multichannel system CU-80 & MU-80. A motivational audio system that responds to the desire of music fans who want to enjoy not only surround sound as a home theatre playback, but also explore the uncompressed, high quality, multi-channel reproduction of SACD and DVD audio. Numerous ingenious channel settings gained a lot of attention. 2004Vacuum tube amp Luxman CL-88 and MQ-88 with creative cutting edge design After an 11 year hiatus since 1993, the CL-38 and MA-88 represent a return to vacuum tube separate amplifier development. These are rare examples, where the original design of conventional vacuum tube amplifiers were reconfigured and innovative proposals from the designer were adopted and mass produced. 200680th anniversary flagship models, the Luxman C-1000f & B-1000f As flagship models to be renewed every ten years, this special series allowed for unprecedented investment and attention to production. Such was the confidence in the quality of these models, that the development manager decided to obtain a full set for his home.Luxman gehört zu den ältesten Audio-Herstellern der Welt.
