Amati G5

Intono is a new technology implemented in Amati and Serafino.

While a dedicated midrange driver benefits from a sealed enclosure it will naturally exhibit impedance spikes to the rise in air pressure inside of the enclosure.

Ported systems will have a tuning frequency at which the mass of moving air inside of the port collides with the driver exactly out of phase and the driver loses output.

These are both troublesome yet common issues for which the industry has developed various imperfect solutions, the most common of which is to use damping material to restrict airflow, which itself reduces efficiency.

Intono is truly a best of both worlds solution. The midrange driver is ducted into another sealed enclosure which is tuned just above the frequency of peak pressure.

When the port unloads, or goes below its tuning frequency, the pressure is equalized into the alternate chamber significantly reducing the impedance peak.

The tweeter remains unhindered due to its laser etched resonance free rear labyrinth which in addition to its acoustic reinforcement function, serves to restrict airflow.

Intono is a more efficient system with the benefits of a sealed enclosure and the benefits of a port. It allows for a simpler crossover design with fewer restrictive parts.
