Product description

DISTINCTIVE LOOK
Lived perfection

The NUMAN Unison Octavox 702 MKII Edition resembles the distinctive look of the Octavox series, the ancient symbol of perfection. NUMAN has dedicated itself to this maxim in processing and sound quality and has implemented it uncompromisingly throughout the entire series.

The NUMAN Octavox 702 MKII speakers convince with their outstanding, passionate sound and shine all along the line as a sophisticated design concept. High-performance magnets perfect the pulse-switching of the speakers and modern fibre-optic fabrics of the midrange woofer effectively counteract partial vibrations. The newly developed WaveGuides optimise the dispersion by integrating the sound channel of the brilliant tweeter into the baffle. An optical accent, which at the same time enables an exact locational accuracy of all sound sources of your stereo panorama.

This results in silky highs, powerful basses and a lively and vivid reproduction of the middle frequency range. Thanks to optimised presets of the Unison Octavox Edition, the system supports and refines the warm and dynamic sound. Of course, the Unison also provides for customer-oriented personalisation and is available in the two matching cabinet colours of the speakers: just the way you like it.

NUMAN does not neglect to merge modern technology elegantly with the retro look: a 2.8” TFT colour display along with the multiple options for operation via topside control panel, via remote control or with a smartphone via the UNDOK app from Frontier Silicon open up the possibilities of the universal receiver in the blink of an eye.

AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Passionate sound culture

The technology inside the all-in-one receiver convinces audiophile music lovers. In addition to a built-in CD player, which plays back standard CD formats such as audio, WMA and MP3 CDs as well as CD-R and CD-RW, there is also a USB port for the connection of media storage devices and the possibility for wireless connection via Bluetooth.

In addition, the NUMAN Unison is a veritable world receiver that receives not only internet radio stations, but also DAB + and FM stations with the internal or external antenna. By connecting to the home network, up to 40 million titles can be streamed directly via Spotify Connect. The connection with additional hi-fi devices for the home system was also thought: Two AUX inputs and a phono input to connect the turntable are available on the back.

The positioning of the NUMAN Unison all-in-one receiver is particularly unique thanks to the integration of a powerful amplifier that delivers an output power of 2 x 40 W RMS to the connected speakers. Finally, there is also the possibility of signal forwarding to a subwoofer, which may be connected to the back of the Unison.

The NUMAN Unison Octavox 702 MKII Edition provides a room-filling and impressive listening experience that will never let you down.

Octavox 702 MKII - Two-Way Shelf Speaker Pair Black

139,99 € (incl. VAT)
Product number: 10031224

Included quantity: 1

Top features

  • Computer-optimised housing with attached baffle in the characteristic octagon OCTAVOX design

  • Fabric tweeter with built-in NUMAN Octavox WaveGuide: designed for a clearly defined emission in the range of the transient frequency and a maximum efficiency

  • Midrange driver with powerful magnets and a membrane made of fiberglass for deep, powerful bass and detailed, lively mids

Product description

DISTINCTIVE LOOK

Lived perfection

The two-way system of the exceptional design concept Octavox is characterised by high-quality components and optimally stiffened housings. This combination creates a balanced and detailed sound image as well as an unmistakable look.

The Octavox speakers are modeled on an octagon, the ancient symbol of perfection, in their housing form. NUMAN has devoted itself to this maxim in processing and sound quality and has implemented it uncompromisingly in creating the complete series.

The NUMAN Octavox 703 MKII speakers convince with their outstanding passionate sound and excel on the whole as a thought-out design concept.

AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

Passionate sound culture

There it is again, butterflies in your stomach when the solo sets in. This feeling of not only listening to music, but being grabbed and carried away by it. The NUMAN Octavox 702 MKII shelf speakers achieve this with the aid of powerful magnets, which perfect the impulse aging of the boxes.

In addition, the modern glass fibre fabric of the low-mid-diaphragm membrane effectively counteracts partial vibrations. This results in silky soft heights, abyssed basses and a lively and vivid reproduction of the medium frequency range. Listen to music in the original tone just as the artist has created it: uncompromising and full of passion!

A TECHNICAL REVOLUTION

The most important innovation is immediately apparent: the newly developed WaveGuides optimise the radiation response by integrating the sound guidance of the brilliant tissue tweeter into the baffle. This creates an optical accent which also allows precise positioning accuracy and maximum efficiency. A connection with speaker cables and banana plugs is also possible via the NUMAN connection terminal.

VARIABILITY

The Octavox MKII speakers celebrate a new sound culture for all musical genres. They meet their high demands for perfect sound properties while at the same time proving their variability: use the shelf speakers as a stereo system or expand them with the Octavox 701 MKII floorstanding speakers, the Octavox 703 MKII centre loudspeaker and the NUMAN UniSub to create a full-fledged 5.1 home cinema system.

  • Connections: 1 x speaker terminal
  • Continuous power: 60 watts

Haben uns diese Anlage eigentlich als neuen Radiowecker gekauft. Da wir im Schlafzimmer eingebaute Boxen in der Decke haben, dachten wir das passt genau für uns. Diese Gerät ist super leicht zu installieren und funktioniert einwandfrei!! Auch der Klang ist toll. Da wir davon so überzeugt waren - innerhalb der ersten Stunden - habe wir das selbe Gerät für das nächste Zimmer gleich noch einmal gekauft. Aus unserer Sicht voll zu empfehlen!!

We actually bought this system as a new radio alarm clock. Since we have built-in boxes in the ceiling in the bedroom, we thought this would be perfect for us. This device is super easy to install and works perfectly!! The sound is great too. Since we were so convinced - within the first few hours - we immediately bought the same device again for the next room. From our point of view fully recommended!

Als begeisterter Boxenbauer suchte ich noch das passende Steuergerät, welches ich in diesem Produkt fand. Die Installation war absolut kein Problem, da ich diese Bedienoberfläche bereits vom IR 100 kenne. Natürlich kommen hier noch weitere Funktionen hinzu, so z.B.mehr Klangeinstellmöglichkeiten. Die Loudnessfunktion ist zu kräftig, zumindest wenn ich über meine Boxen höre, außerdem berücksichtigt diese nur die Anhebung der Tiefen. Es gibt jedoch auch speziell voreingestellte Klangbilder, welche für die Boxen des gleichen Herstellers ausgelegt sind, eine von denen passte, dort werden Höhen und Tiefen schmalbandig und nur leicht angehoben, sodass sich auch bei geringer Lautstärke ein angenehmes Klangbild ergibt. Ich betreibe dieses Universalgerät am Nachttisch, als Referenz für die Uhr habe ich Internet eingestellt. Das ist dann auch das Vorzugsprogramm; ich lasse mich mit einem Programm auf DAB+ wecken und abends mit empfange ich dann automatisch wieder Internetradio. Prima Sache ! CD-Spieler & UKW - Radio laufen ebenfalls problemlos. Mit 2 x 40 Watt wird auch die Beschallung einer Gartenparty kein Problem sein ! Mit der Fernbedienung lassen sich übrigens 20 Sender abspeichern.

As an enthusiastic speaker builder, I was still looking for the right control unit, which I found in this product. The installation was absolutely no problem, since I already know this user interface from the IR 100. Of course, there are more functions here, such as more sound settings. The loudness function is too powerful, at least when I listen through my speakers, and it only takes into account the bass boost. However, there are also specially preset sound patterns that are designed for the speakers from the same manufacturer, one of which fit, the highs and lows are narrow-banded and only slightly raised, so that a pleasant sound pattern results even at low volume. I operate this universal device at the bedside table, as a reference for the clock I have set the Internet. This is then also the preferred program; I wake up to a program on DAB+ and then automatically receive Internet radio again in the evening. Great thing! CD player & FM radio also run smoothly. With 2 x 40 watts, the sound reinforcement of a garden party will not be a problem! Incidentally, the remote control can be used to store 20 stations.

Der Brüllwürfel ackert wirklich hart und entspricht seit jetzt 2 Monaten voll meinen Erwartungen. Sehr gut zu bewerten: + alles in einer Kiste ( DAB, Internetradio, Blutooth, USB, CD, Spotify, Netzwerkplayer), jetzt müsste man noch Amazon Music verbinden können, das wäre perfekt + der Verstärker hat für ein mittelgroßes Zimmer genügend Reserven, meine KEF Boxen klingen daran angeschlossen hervorragend (ich hab allerdings das bassbetonte Rock-Preset geladen, sonst wär's etwas dünn). Ein paar Klangregler wären noch nett. + das Netzwerk verbindet sich sofort und auch die Blutooth Verbindung ist einwandfrei + Das Display kann die Uhrzeit auch im Standby anzeigen, aber auch ausgeschaltet werden (in Zimmern in denen geschlafen wird notwendig) Kleine Verbesserungsvorschläge: - wenn ich Musik von meinem NAS abspielen will, muss ich mich immer wieder durch den gesamten Pfad hangeln. Da wäre ein Favorit gut. - zusammen mit dem Lautstärkeknopf dreht sich auch der Einschaltknopf und Play/Pause Knopf. Das heißt, diese sind immer an anderer Position - das Display dürfte etwas größer sein Das sind Kleinigkeiten, ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Features aber auch der Qualität des Gerätes (natürlich noch kein Lebensdauertest nach 8 Wochen).

The Howler Cube works really hard and has fully met my expectations for 2 months now. To rate very well: + everything in one box (DAB, Internet radio, Blutooth, USB, CD, Spotify, network player), now you should still be able to connect Amazon Music, that would be perfect + the amplifier has enough reserves for a medium-sized room, in my opinion KEF boxes sound great when connected to it (I loaded the bass-heavy rock preset, though, otherwise it would be a bit thin). A few tone controls would be nice. + the network connects immediately and the Blutooth connection is also flawless + the display can also show the time in standby, but can also be switched off (necessary in rooms where people sleep) Small suggestions for improvement: - if I want to play music from my NAS, I have to keep shimmying my way through the entire path. A favorite would be good. - the power button and play/pause button rotate together with the volume button. This means that they are always in a different position - the display could be a little larger. These are small things, I am very satisfied with the features but also with the quality of the device (of course no lifespan test after 8 weeks).

Eigentlich gutes Teil klang gut etc. Macht Spaß Aber es schält sich häufig von alleine an ? Was könnte das sein ? Drehe es mittlerweile einfach auf mute, es geht an obwohl niemand im Haus ist....

Actually a good part sounded good etc. It's fun But it often turns on by itself? What could that be ? Just turn it on mute now, it goes on even though nobody is in the house....
