Moon Voice 22 Speakers
Simaudio is proud to announce that for the first time, it is possible to own a complete MOON system, from the source all the way to the loudspeaker.
Moon Signature Sound
The Voice 22 loudspeaker delivers the renowned rich and natural signature MOON sound with precise clarity that will delight any music lover. The wide soundstage allows every small detail to flourish and for the deep, clean bass to expand.
Simaudio is definitely serious as you can tell when you take a closer look at the MOON Voice 22, which looks to all the world like a straightforward – if stylish – two-way speaker with a nice finish. Looks here are deceptive however because that box has had some interesting work done to its insides.
Cabinets that Disappear
Simaudio has come up with an idea to reduce vibration in the woodwork that involves cutting grooves into the panels and filling them with damping material. Thus you have an irregular pattern of vibration barriers that break up modes in the panels and stop them adding to and blurring the output from the drive units. Flat wooden panels look good and are relatively easy to fabricate but killing their tendency to resonate at audio frequencies is tricky so it’s interesting to see a new approach to the problem.
Improving the most important region - the Mid Range
We use a cast aluminum frame for the bass/midrange driver. Others use stamped steel, prone to ringing.
We use a mineral filled polypropylene cone in a soft rubber surround chosen for its damping qualities.
We add a copper sleeve to the pole piece to reduce inductance and keep voice coil weight down by using copper plated aluminium wire.
We use a special tweeter diameter of 40mm. This makes it quite a bit bigger than most and explains how the engineers have been able to go for a very low 1.5kHz crossover point. Others cross over at 2.5kHz, which leaves the bass driver to run up to frequencies where it gets quite sluggish. This is radical.
Reviews
"Simaudio's new MOON Voice 22 is a well-balanced loudspeaker with impeccable manners. It delivers a huge soundstage and scale that belies its relatively compact dimensions, telling it like it is without ramming it down your throat" Stereonet
"With this loudspeaker debut, Simaudio has delivered a standmount model with considerable flair, most notably when it comes to bass, but also delicate treble details, which it presents in a subtle-but-always-there fashion. And while it has weight, it doesn't throw its weight around – there's mostly a neutral and balanced feel to the sound. This perhaps means some might find it a little unexciting, but also means you get an untempered view of the music at hand." HiFi News
"The Voice 22s performed superbly in my two quite different rooms, providing commendably deep, tight, and punchy bass; silky and clean highs; high transparency; and, yes, a character to its midrange that can’t be missed. As a result, the 22s were not only easy to listen to, they were interesting to listen to because they presented a sound that was different enough compared to all the other two-way bookshelf designs that have been in and out of my listening spaces—and I enjoyed that"
