Organic Sound - SoundLAB Electrostatic Loudspeakers

These elusive loudspeakers will completely change your perception of the possibilities of music reproduction in the home. These elusive transducers that are hard to pin down even for us because each time we have our own beautifully run-in pair a discerning customer will ask us to relinquish ownership to him.

First a bit of history.

Traditionally electrostatics do not fair well in humid environs. This is because high moisture levels trend to load down the efficiency of the electrostatic charge on the diaphragm (the moving part) of the loudspeaker. When this occurs the high-tension power supply is forced to overwork and a moist environment also causes the ESL charge to “leak” so to speak. There is also the question of “arcing” where the ESL charge from the stator “jumps’ across the diaphragm causing it to burn. In the SoundLAB’s case the stators are made from ultra stable laboratory grade high-tension wires – even the insulation is different.

Traditionally – something the SoundLABs are emphatically not. How many loudspeakers are there with a patent on the panel diaphragm? In the past twenty years we have taken apart more ESL panels and electronic interface than we care to but we have learnt much in the process. In the intervening years we have also worked very closely with Dr. West to ascertain the causes and devise solutions from the torture chamber of the high saltine/humidity environment that is Singapore. Dr. West in his typically perfectionist fashion determined to find solutions for even the smallest quibble. For instance the first pair of SoundLAB in the world to have a revolutionary (and much more costly) stator wire was made for us and are still performing flawlessly, beautifully. That was 10 years ago.

Arriving within 2 weeks are the awe inspiring Audiophile-3 PX & Ultimate-1 PX Special Edition. The latter has everything that Dr. West believes is the cutting edge including the PX panel and the “hot rod” electronic interface – a chockfull of high-end parts in passive electronica. One pair is actually enroute to a customer’s home but because his sound room is being rebuilt we are running them in. He has been patiently waiting his turn for his pair of Ultimate-1 PX!

Come in for a rare chance to audition these beautiful transducers and see if they aren’t the most musical speakers your ears have ever heard.

Auditions & Appointments

Auditions & Appointments

In preparation for our upcoming F1 Show our resources would be a little stretched till the end of July and possibly early August. In addition we are also rewiring (yes again!) parts of the dedicated AC lines, treating the room acoustics and getting a new sign with our corporate logo to be placed on the store front.

We appreciate your understanding and patience and whilst all this is going on please call or email us for an appointment because of the current works we are undertaking.
Contact us at 63445568, 81185748 or email at leonard@therevelationroom.com. Once again, thanks guys for helping out during this period but we promise that this makeover will make you happy that you are an audiophile.

Singapore's F1 & The Revelation Room - Emotion In Motion

It's been a while since we have been updating this blog and the reason is because we have been planning something specially for music lovers and audiophiles in the region. We hope all our friends will like what we have in store for you.

We have been busy preparing for our very exclusive show right here in Singapore - The Revelation Room F1 Special. If you are reading this you must already be aware of Singapore hosting the World's First International Formula 1 Street Night (http://www.singaporegp.sg/) racing this September 28th and the whole world will be descending upon this island for the event! To celebrate this august event we are planning an exclusive product showcase to be timed with the F1. Coming in from Switzerland and France are two of the most sort after designers in audio; Micha Huber of Thales (www.tonarm.ch) & Pythagoras (www.pythagor.as) and Sean McCaughan of ESP loudspeakers http://www.esploudspeakersna.com/news/index.html). From Greece of course we have Ypsilon Electronics (www.ypsilonelectronics.com) and from the USA SoundLAB electrostatic (www.soundlab-speakers.com). The show is scheduled for September 26th to the 28th with a private, by invitation only presentation on selected days.

For the customers (new and old) the idea of meeting one distinguish manufacturer is a rare enough pleasure but it would most certainly be impossible to get to get hold so many appearing in one place at the same time. So for the audiophiles in the region this is the event to attend.
