    The PMR (Passive Multi-Vocal Resonator)

    The PMR is a high-resonating system that overlays the musical harmonics.
    This is achieved by:

    • a precisely tuned bronze alloy
    • the specific dimensions
    • the specific design with various angles
    The PMR is not comparable to other resonators available on the market today. These other resonators produce even harmonics, but usually change the tone of the sound with "false" harmonics, e.g. a trumpet should sound like a trumpet, but with the wrong harmonics, it can sound like a completely different, or synthetic instrument. The PMR produces only  harmonics that are perceived by the human ear as pleasant and harmonious. The sounds of music are heard as natural. These "right" overtones are the result of decades of sound research. And by the way... bell bronze is the only material that can reproduce all overtones of the musical scale. This know-how is now being implemented  - world exclusive for the first time as a resonator in the PMR.

    Placement of the PMR:
    The PMR can be placed almost anywhere in the listening room. A comprehensive installation manual is supplied with each PMR. A  telephone consultation is also included.

    The result:
    By overlaying the music with a full scale of multi-vocal overtones, more detailed sound is produced. The music gets more momentum and energy, the presentation of the instruments is more realistic, more solid and three-dimensional. The spatial imaging is increased in all directions. The result is again a natural and authentic sound experience with beautiful sounds.

    Does the PMR fit in my system?
    Yes! Since there are no hi-fi systems with perfect harmonics, the PMR will improve every hi-fi system!


    For every single PMR a two-sand mold is produced before it's cast by hand in a German foundry.

    Production Process:
    The production processes of the PMR and a bell are very similar. Each PMR is custome-made and is produced exclusively by hand in the following steps:

    • Creation of a two-sand mold by means of a "primitive model"
    • Heating the bronze alloy to about 1200 C
    • Casting of liquid metal in the form
    • Controlled cooling off the casting for the production of a fine crystalline structure of metal
    • Manual post-processing and tuning of the cast PMR

      An individual, numbered certificate is included with each PMR.

      The PMR is exclusively manufactured in Germany.

      Dimensions: height 3.4 inch (8.6cm), diameter 14 inch (35.4cm)
      Weight: 12 lbs. (5.5kg) (total shipping weight 19 lbs.)
      Color: natural bronze


    The PMR Premium

    The latest development and further improvement of the original PMR is the PMR Premium. The difference to the PMR is that the production is even more complex. The improved bronze alloy and extremely long cool-off phases give the PMR Premium even better resonance properties. But the biggest difference is that the PMR Premium has now a thread in the bottom and is mounted on a bronze stand for vertical use that makes the PMR Premium even more effective and indispensable for music lovers who wanted to expierience their favorite music in a lifelike three dimensional way with realistic timbre and dynamics.


    The PMR Premium. StereoTimes' Most Wanted Component 2011!

    Reviews:

    Moreno Mitchell, StereoTimes, 01/2012:
    "...when Clement Perry stated "The very ingredients that can fool one into believing real instruments are in the room" in his review of the PMR, I could not agree more. This is exactly what I felt within minutes of hearing this amazing device. Upon reading what Dan Secula and Ron Cook heard via this "singing bowl" did I realize that its effects are universal. Thus far, the PMR has acquitted itself from being some expensive tweak. It is far more powerful than some expensive front-end I've owned. Knowing this, attempting to label the PMR as a mere tweak is criminal."

    "If you're looking to upgrade an amplifier, DAC or even loudspeakers I dare you to give this device a listen first. For the serious audiophile and music lover who demands the best. The PMR is an absolute must. Highly recommended!"

    Clement Perry, StereoTimes, 12/2011:
    "...I tend to believe the addition of a single PMR does as much to enhance the sound of a listening room as an entire arsenal of Ziplex or Acoustic System resonators."

    "...Hard to believe but true: the addition of the PMR makes music sound more truthful and realistic. After more than six months of having the PMR in my system, I cannot think of life without it. Removing it reduces the sensation that real instruments are performing before you on a wide stage... I cannot recommend it more highly."

    Ron Cook, StereoTimes, 12/2011:
    "...I must concur the PMR is one of those all-too-rare products that does exactly as claimed! Suffice it to say, the improvements are NOT subtle and are easily discerned by even the most casual listener. Indeed, I have done A/B comparisons with a number of people, and on each (separate) occasion the effect of removing the PMR was obvious: folks simply cannot believe it. Bottom line, once you try a PMR your system, you will be hard pressed to listen without it. Highly recommended!"

    Dan Secula, StereoTimes, 12/2011:
    "...as much as I enjoyed my system without the PMR, I know now what this device can do to help my system sound even better and I would choose to be without a PMR. In simple terms, the PMR just makes everything sweeter sounding and more organic in a very natural way without any noticeable downside."

    "With the PMR Premium we have a significant, expensive, beautiful tweak that I feel will improve the enjoyment of your music collection. My decision to audition the PMR proved make me feel wonderful considering I had no idea what the results would be. Highly recommended."

    Customer feedback:

    "Dear Alfred, after I put the PMR Premium disc on my JL F113 which sits in the middle of my Acapella Violin Cello MK II horned speakers less than a foot behind them, the affect was immediately dramatic. The synergistic effect of focusing the sound and smoothing out the music made me grin from ear to ear. I am totally pleased and feel the investment was worth it..."

    "...after living with the two disc set-up (PMR Premium) for less than a week, I can say that my listening experience has truly been permanently transformed... wouldn't have believed it until I heard it myself. I never thought these things could do so much to "harmonize" the room acoustics."

    Reviews:

    Reiner Mueller, Germany, Dec. 2011, with "ZU Audio Essence" loudspeakers:
    "...when I used the spikes made of bell bronze, the entire sound changed. Clean, crisp bass all the way down to the lowest frequencies. Crystal-clear, artifact-free highs - voices with authentic sound reproduction and presence, distinct increase in range of frequencies and greatly-improved soundstage. Clear and distinct separation of the individual instruments. Open and direct listening pleasure, even at low volume levels. Stable-leveled and clear sound, at volume levels far louder than normal listening room volume..."

    "To sum it up: With the bell bronze spike, Mr. Jungblut was able to make a product that is able to greatly improve most sound systems. These spikes provide great listening pleasure and demonstrate that it's better to improve your current system with economical tuning devices rather than to constantly purchase costly new equipment and experience the frustration that often accompanies doing that..."

    Customer feedback:

    "...the spikes have been installed since yesterday and what should I say ... simply sensational!"

    "...with these spike made of bell bronze the music sounds much more vibrant, energetic and detached, as though it was played before with the hand-brake on.... The decay of the tones was extremely improved, especially in music played on acoustic instruments. Voices had an intensity like never before. Altogether, the music sounds much more ethereal, with new, glorious overtones that have a pleasing effect on the ears."



    The MKT (Musical Klang [Sound] Tripod)

    The handmade MKT (Musical Sound Tripod) improves the sound of any stereo system in a precisely predictable, clearly positive way.

    The MKT offers real added value thanks to its many uses:

    • Feet for components (CD players, DA converters, DVD players, pre- and power-amplifiers, integrated amplifiers ...), line filter, power bars, and speakers.
    • The acoustic resonator (bowl) of the MKT can be placed in an elevated position on the walls and / or in the corners of the listening area. There are no set guidelines, but we recommend the placement in approximate ear height on shelves, open cabinets, racks or on the speakers.

    Important:
    Placing the MKT on soft (absorbing) surfaces will reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the MKT. We recommend the installation of hardwood or MDF. Even glass or metal materials may work.

    How the MKT Works:
    It doesn't dampen the resonance device, but rather lends its own "musical" resonance spectrum to the device. The bronze alloy we use is the only material that can produce all of the musically relevant harmonics and coloration. When using the MKT as acoustic resonator (bowl), the relevant musical overtones are also activated and superimposed on the music. Through the emotional perception, the music is perceived as being sonorous (more harmonics), real, natural and more beautiful. The digital character disappears. The music becomes whole.
