Quick note:
Took photos of most of the rooms and they are posted on our “Insta”gram page:
[pictured: I believe these are Zu Audio’s new statement speakers]
Audio Federation will be showing at Capital Audiofest CAP 2019. We have a very large room this year and it should be a blast.
What we are showing:
- Acapella Audio Arts “Campanile 2” loudspeakers (Porsche agate gray horns with white cabinets)
- Acapella Audio Arts “La Musika” integrated 2000 watt amplifier
- Acapella Audio Arts “Audio One” music server.
- Audio Note U.K. “DAC 5 Signature” digital to analog converter.
- Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) SXR equipment rack and M3X2 isolation bases and Nimbus Couplers/Spacers (feet)
- Assorted cables from Audio Note U.K., Acapella, et. al.
Neli went last year but this will be the first time I have been at an east coast show since Stereophile New York in 2005
I will try and record video and high-res audio of all the rooms… if you can’t make it with ‘your own eyes’ and ears!
This video was taken on the 3rd, the last, day of this year’s Munich HiEnd Show at the Munich Marriott. The elapsed wall clock time of this 11 minute video was from 6:00pm (show close) to 8:30pm. As we were scheduled for a see-ya-next-year dinner with Audio Note at 8:00pm [luckily, we were by no means the last to arrive! 
], we had to stop videoing before the speakers were completely disassembled. It doesn’t usually take this long to do this – but it does seem like the Acapella crew take a more relaxed approach to tear down than some others who are almost frantic (some exhibitors are amazing – all done and off to supper they go) – but they did have the other room with a ton of speakers on static display to deal with as well – so there is that.
People in the video: Neli, of Audio Federation. Alfred Rudolph (speaker designer and co-founder), Richard Rudolph (runs the factory) and Robert Rudolph (marketing and Silver Surfer) of Acapella Audio Arts.
The Acapella Audio Arts’ Apollon speakers weigh about 900 lbs each, use a powered plasma (ION) massless tweeter and have four 10 inch woofers per speaker. The top bass unit is about 200lbs heavy [I love the pained look on Richard’s face as they take each one down off of its perch 
].
