TITANS are mighty – and legends are forever<br />
TITAN<br />
HANDMADE IN GERMANY<br />
The new AURUM TITAN creates a phenomenal high-end<br />
soundstage with hitherto unsurpassed clarity. Precise sonic<br />
detailing together with the sheer incredible dynamic response<br />
and unprecedented mastery across the board, blend to provide<br />
a sonic platform beyond compare. Quiet sounds are given the<br />
same careful attention and care. The TITAN’s musical intensity<br />
and passion are outstanding and emotionally moving.<br />
The new AURUM TITAN owes its impressive tonal talents to<br />
the systematic perfection of a diversity of details. For example<br />
the cabinet’s sophisticated pressure chamber/reflex design,<br />
the optimized ALTIMA® diaphragms on the large-surface<br />
woofer and midrange units, a completely newly developed<br />
ribbon tweeter, the immensely powerful drive magnets, and<br />
carefully selected components on the crossover network are<br />
all crafted to produce a true harmonious sound.<br />
The attention to detail and component choice can be seen<br />
rightdown to the internal wiring with high-grade Real Cable®.<br />
The use of the proper state-of-the art technologies<br />
underlines our dedication to the synergy of best possible<br />
sound quality and the unsurpassed craftsmanship of master<br />
instrument makers.<br />

VULKAN<br />
HANDMADE IN GERMANY<br />
Impulsive vigour, dynamic performance<br />
Vulkan is the German word for a volcano, and brings to<br />
mind excitement, verve, fire and blazing heat. Experience<br />
the AURUM VULKAN at its very best, deploying its impulsive<br />
vigour to generate veritable aural pyrotechnics. In spite of its<br />
enormous music-handling capacity, this 250/400 W speaker<br />
has an incredibly finely developed feeling for quiet sounds,<br />
too. It effortlessly brings out the sometimes hardly intimated<br />
sonic nuances of sensitive expressive music.<br />
Like the TITAN, the VULKAN also features a pressure<br />
chamber/reflex configuration for deep-down, power-packed<br />
yet clearly contoured basses. Like the woofer, the midrange<br />
unit is equipped, with the proven, sonically neutral and<br />
highly dynamic ALTIMA® diaphragm. The VULKAN’s large<br />
new ribbon tweeter handles each and every impulse with an<br />
incredible speed of response.<br />
Selected crossover network components and high-quality<br />
Real Cable® for the interior wiring underline the demanding<br />
quality standards aspired to and achieved in the form of this<br />
superb loudspeaker.<br />
When using the VULKAN as hi-fi stereo speaker or main<br />
speaker in a high-end surround system you need not<br />
have second thoughts about dispensing with the separate<br />
subwoofer that would otherwise be necessary in the interests<br />
of optimum sound.

MONTAN<br />
HANDMADE IN GERMANY<br />
Irrepressible personality, impressive stature<br />
More graceful than the TITAN and VULKAN, the AURUM<br />
MONTAN uncompromisingly follows in the footsteps of<br />
its prominent sister models. Indeed, thanks to its close<br />
technological family ties, it is even capable of arousing the<br />
same emotions.<br />
And, like the TITAN and VULKAN, it has a 26-cm woofer<br />
with ALTIMA® diaphragm and operates in a cabinet featuring<br />
a pressure chamber/reflex configuration; this makes the bass<br />
deeper, more contoured and free of distortion. The midrange<br />
unit, too is equipped with an ALTIMA® diaphragm that is in<br />
a class of its own where speed, dynamic response and tonal<br />
accuracy are concerned.<br />
Powerful symmetrical magnetic fields make for impressive<br />
efficiency, fine detailing, and meticulous accuracy in<br />
translating electrical signals into acoustic signals. The<br />
tweeter’s lightweight ribbon diaphragm is driven by extremely<br />
powerful neodymium magnetic bars that guarantee highspeed,<br />
precisely detailed response to each and every impulse.<br />
It is the synergy of these features plus the selected crossover<br />
net-work components and top-grade Real Cable® for<br />
the interior wiring that makes the MONTAN so musically<br />
versatile, but it goes without saying that it is not only<br />
eminently suited to hi-fi stereo reproduction but also for<br />
home cinema sound of the very highest standard.<br />

PLATINUM M3<br />
Supreme power and fantastically fine distinction<br />
are the PLATINUM M5’s strengths. This<br />
speaker brings a grand live atmosphere with<br />
superior on-stage reproduction. Both 18 cm<br />
basses plunge boldly into the depths, while the<br />
accurate midranges build a solid but graceful<br />
bridge between the bass and the overtones.<br />
quadral’s new ring transducer even ascends<br />
high above the auditory threshold. That’s why<br />
it master’s the perceptible high tones with such<br />
aplomb.<br />
Whether it is passionate solo voices on CD or<br />
the thunder of a live hard rock concert on DVD,<br />
the PLATINUM M4 let’s you experience the<br />
stage performance up, close and personal.<br />
Its bass pressure comes from two 17 cm chassis<br />
with aluminium membranes.<br />
Meanwhile, quadral’s agile, highly resilient<br />
RiCom M ring transducer takes care of the fine,<br />
solid overtones.<br />
Whether it's the runaway power of an orchestral<br />
performance or the subtle timbre of a solo<br />
instrument, the PLATINUM M3 transports you<br />
into the mood of a live concert on stage. A<br />
woofer for authentic, powerful bass notes and<br />
a high-output low/midrange for the entire frequency<br />
spectrum of the tonic scale. The ring<br />
transducer scatters its brilliant trebles over the<br />
other sounds. A truly outstanding sound picture<br />
delivered by a fine-shared corpus.<br />

Many high-end fans consider 2-way systems to<br />
be the ultimate pinnacle. And here their opinion<br />
is reinforced. The achievements of quadral’s<br />
dual aluminium bass membrane and RiCom M<br />
tweeter — right up to the edge of the audible<br />
range — are nothing less than impressive.<br />
They produce powerful, sharply contoured<br />
sound with pinpoint precision. For hi-fi pleasure<br />
or as an auxiliary speaker in a surround<br />

It is a stylish addition to the PLATINUM family.<br />

The role of the 3-way central speaker in a surround<br />
ensemble is to clearly and courageously<br />
accentuate the human voice. To bring the<br />
spoken word “picture perfect” to the listener,<br />
runtime correction is integrated into the frequency<br />
separating filter. This compensates for<br />
acoustic pressure losses in the listening area<br />
and lends precision to every syllable. It makes<br />
the PLATINUM M1 BASE very forgiving when it<br />
comes to listening position. Even those sitting<br />
off to the side stay in the thick of the action.<br />

solid tradition at quadral. With the CHROMIUM series'<br />
newly developed ribbon, the membrane also takes on<br />
the job of the voice coil. The signals from the amplifier<br />
go through a transformer directly into a sheer, pleated<br />
aluminium strip — that’s the ribbon.<br />
This aluminium ribbon is embedded in a strong magnetic<br />
field. Because of its negligible mass, the ribbon<br />
transforms the alternating current signals almost<br />
effortlessly into sound. That produces the tweeter’s<br />
striking speed and exactness.<br />

The new, small but exquisitely designed<br />
CHROMIUM STYLE series speakers have a great<br />
deal of technology hidden within their compact<br />
size: The woofer / middle-tone titaniumcoated<br />
polypropylene membrane and the 19<br />
mm aluminium tweeter dome guarantee maximum<br />
dynamics, precision and sovereignty. The<br />
very slender and elegant appearance ensures<br />
that the STYLE 20 integrates easily into your<br />
living environment and it will regale the listener<br />
with its astonishingly full bass and exceptionally<br />
“mature” sound.<br />
(Stand optional available).<br />
Tailored to the human voice. Not a single syllable<br />
lost. Natural, clear, distinct reproduction.<br />
As a central speaker, it is designed above all<br />
for dialogue, both in analogue and in digital<br />
surround systems. Thus, the BASE plays a central<br />
role in the CHROMIUM ensemble. Runtime<br />
correction sees to it that the spoken word is<br />
always “picture perfect”.<br />

ASCENT 75<br />
The strengths of the ASCENT 90 loudspeakers<br />
lie in their effortless power output and incredible<br />
sonic detailing, rounded off by a superb live<br />
atmosphere with superior stage performance.<br />
The two 18 cm woofers make for lively and<br />
truly deep-down, rich bass response while<br />
the accurate midrange units build a solid yet<br />
gracefully structured bridge between the bass<br />
and treble regions of the sonic scale.<br />
quadral’s new super-audio-tweeter soars even<br />
way above the upper auditory limit – and can<br />
thus be relied upon to handle all discernible<br />
trebles with incomparable ease.<br />
You can dream along to gentle chamber music,<br />
heat the party up to boiling point or glory in<br />
the Blu-Ray sound until you get goosebumps.<br />
ASCENT 80 has a full repertoire. It is powerful<br />
and superbly resilient thanks to the 17<br />
cm double bass. Tremendous momentum and<br />
completely neutral sounding: The quadral midranges<br />
are made from polypropylene and have<br />
distortion resistant titanium coatings.<br />
Capable and exceptionally deft: quadral’s super<br />
audio tweeter with an aluminium dome gives<br />
it a radiant sheen.<br />
Conclusion: The purest listening pleasure in<br />
minor and major.<br />
Regardless of whether it’s emotional solo<br />
voices from a CD or thunderous hard rock in<br />
a live concert on DVD that takes your fancy,<br />
the ASCENT 75 gives you a true, close-up sonic<br />
picture of what’s happening onstage.<br />
The impressive bass pressure it generates is<br />
attributable to the two 18 cm chassis units with<br />
titanium covered diaphragm – one of which is<br />
designed as fully integrated woofer. The effortlessly<br />
dynamic midranges are the product of the<br />
bass-midrange units with their above-average<br />
dimensions and powerful drive magnets. quadral’s<br />
super-audio-tweeter makes for finely detailed<br />
yet effortless, distortion-free handling of<br />
the trebles – and has no problems whatsoever<br />
even when the volume is really turnned up.<br />

Highlight in the treble range<br />
quadral’s next-generation Super-<strong>Audio</strong> tweeter ensures<br />
crystal-clear sound right up into the very highest<br />
trebles. The sound-absorbing material behind the light,<br />
motion-free aluminium dome serves the purposes of<br />
both preventing unwanted reflex as well as ensuring<br />
precise guidance of the diaphragm. The resultant fine<br />
resolution up to 46,000 Hz means that the ASCENT<br />

standards.<br />
ASCENT 70<br />
ASCENT 20<br />
ASCENT 10 BASE<br />
A top of the range speaker that plays right<br />
at the forefront. You will be able to listen to<br />
music up to and including Blu-Ray sound. Its<br />
wide power spectrum stems from its slender<br />
design: The deep-reaching bass together with<br />
the powerful drive magnets combine to produce<br />
rich thrusts.<br />
The extremely fast polypropylene midranges<br />
are finely tuned so that they harmonise with<br />
the super-audio tweeter dome. The superaudio<br />
tweeter from quadral enables very<br />
detailed but effortless, distortion-free high<br />
tone reproductions and there are no problems<br />
whatsoever even at full volume.<br />
The ASCENT 20 is outstanding for its superb<br />
musical performance whilst requiring a minimum<br />
of space. It goes without saying that its<br />
compact dimensions mean less deep-down<br />
bass response than the larger units in the family,<br />
but this is certainly a ASCENT in every other<br />
way. Just like its sister units, this speaker impresses<br />
across the board with crisp bass runs,<br />
natural-sounding voices and finely detailed<br />
trebles. The ASCENT 20’s slender design makes<br />
it feels at home on a bookshelf. ASCENT 20 is<br />
the practical loudspeaker for hi-fi stereo and<br />
home cinema sound.<br />
(DESIGN STATIV G optional available)<br />
The ASCENT 10 BASE task as a centre speaker is<br />
to put film dialogue across with optimum clarity<br />
– and at the same time unobtrusively integrate<br />
itself as part of the musical ensemble.<br />
The bass-midrange units with titanium<br />
covered diaphragms are time-corrected, thus<br />
enhancing the transmission angle. The new<br />
super-audio tweeter from quadral makes for a<br />
smooth and accurate transition from the lows<br />
to the hights. The result is a clear and optimally<br />
homogeneous sonic picture. ASCENT 10 BASE<br />
is the popular centre speaker with for all surround<br />
sound applications.<br />

CHROMIUM STYLE 5.0 is the name given to<br />
the fine HiFi and surround-sound speakers<br />
from <strong>Quadral</strong>. The elegant, high-gloss finished<br />
housings, which are available in black or white<br />
and uses sophisticated internal technology,<br />
combine modern styling with timeless solidity<br />
and exceptional sound. STYLE 20 is based on<br />
the cornerstones of the CHROMIUM STYLE 5.0<br />
set, which are the four capable shelf speakers<br />
that produce the expressive stereo and homecinema<br />
reproductions. An optional subwoofer<br />
can also contribute to submerging into the<br />
deepest bass areas. We recommend the SUB 63<br />
for use in small rooms and the SUB 88 for use<br />
in large rooms. In the case of surround sound<br />
the centre speaker, which has been specially<br />
optimised for speech intelligibility, assumes the<br />
centralised main sound role so that it seems to<br />
come direct from the flat screen.<br />

is ready with two strong bass speakers.<br />
The deep bass foundation is laid by the active<br />
subwoofer with its built-in amplifier.<br />

ALUMA 1180<br />
These dynamic-sounding satellites are compact,<br />

power amplifier has muscle even at the<br />

These satellites shine with spacious, crystalclear<br />
highs and midranges. The ALUMA 1180 is<br />

its brilliant reproduction will convince anyone.<br />

PHASE 15<br />
A 5.1 set cannot be positioned optimally in<br />
many lounges or even home-cinemas, as it<br />
needs to emit sound directly into the area behind<br />
it. In order to produce a really good feeling<br />
of space under these circumstances and<br />
without having to directly position one of the<br />
speakers, you ideally need a diffused sound<br />
source such as a quadral PHASE 15 and the<br />
flip switch mounted on the back enables the<br />
speaker to be used as a bipolar, dipolar or even<br />
a completely normal speaker. The dipolar setting<br />
should be used in small rooms, as the two<br />
tweeters work in opposite phases here and this<br />
process ensures that a diffused acoustic pattern<br />
is generated. The two tweeters work as a<br />
phase-matched pair in bipolar mode and the<br />
PHASE 15 works as a direct sound emitter using<br />
only one tweeter<br />
when switched to the<br />
‘normal’ setting.<br />

The energy-saving SUB 63 aktiv is packed with<br />
Herculean power inside, and this is certainly<br />
a subwoofer that generates the deepest bass<br />
tones with true force that belies its astoundingly<br />
compact dimensions. The long-throw bass<br />
driver with robust diaphragm delves down into<br />
the very lowest registers. This is pure power,<br />
paired with superior electronic know-how that<br />
effectively protects the output stage unit from<br />
overloading.<br />

Instrument Making<br />
There is one very big difference between acoustic<br />
instruments and loudspeakers, namely that<br />
the best of the former pamper our hearing with<br />
the most beautiful natural resonances while<br />
the best of the latter do so with the smallest<br />
possible degree of these. The source of this<br />
natural resonance is frequently the wood itself<br />
as it vibrates in its own individual manner.<br />
However, instead of building speaker cabinets<br />
from centimetre-thick concrete or simply ignoring<br />
the intrinsic characteristics of wood<br />
in terms of resonance, we have simply done<br />
things in our own way, intensively examining<br />
and subsequently optimising the vibratory behaviour<br />
of the AURUM’s cabinet walls. When<br />
this has been completed, our craftsmen then<br />
put together the cabinet in this perfected form.<br />

The cabinets of the TITAN, VULKAN, MONTAN<br />
and ORKAN have a very special common feature,<br />
namely that the rear sides of the diaphragms<br />
work in a bass reflex environment<br />
and the front sides in a pressure chamber. This<br />
technology was initially used in professionalstandard<br />
recording studio monitor units and<br />
is practically unprecedented in the world of<br />
hi-fi speakers. The combination of the pressure<br />
chamber and reflex principles enables incredible<br />
sonic intensity coupled with the very highest<br />
aural accuracy. And the nice thing about<br />
it: even at very high volumes the bass remains<br />
contoured and impressive in their depth.<br />

The Crossover Network<br />
Bisectional in the TITAN, the elaborate crossover circuits are<br />
built from high-quality, selected components.<br />
They have low-impedance, laminated transformer coil cores<br />
for low-loss and low-distortion reproduction in the lower<br />
tonal ranges, particularly fast PP film capacitors and lowinductance<br />
metal film resistors for accurately defined trebles.<br />
The crossover circuits function in an extremely ampfriendly<br />
manner, so the TITAN, VULKAN<br />
and MONTAN will also harmonize with<br />
amplifiers of the exotic kind as well.<br />
The ALTIMA® Diaphragms<br />
The crossover network of the<br />
TITAN VIII<br />
The loudspeakers in the AURUM range never fail to impress<br />
with their innovative power. ALTIMA® is a perfected composite<br />
of the three light metals aluminium, titanium and<br />
magnesium, specially developed to achieve optimal vibratory<br />
characteristics. The main reason behind the differences<br />
in the way that diverse materials sound lies in the<br />
fact that vibrating diaphragms bend uncontrollably and do<br />
not then follow the parameters of the voice coil. The extent<br />
of these so-called “partial vibrations” largely determines the<br />
intrinsic sound produced by a diaphragm.<br />
Against this background<br />
the loud-speaker manufacturers<br />
endeavour to suppress materialinduced<br />
resonances as effectively<br />
as possible, distributing them over<br />
various frequencies in order to conceal them to the greatest<br />
possible extent. ALTIMA®, in contrast, opens up completely<br />
new possibilities: on the one hand, it enables the forcing out<br />
of material resonances from where they are taking place in<br />
the speaker and, on the other, it enables the resonances to<br />
be gathered and then eliminated via network. This sounds<br />
like a simple enough process but it is hardly possible with<br />
other materials, so the characteristics that set our cone diaphragms<br />
apart from the rest are speed, meticulous precision<br />
and the absence of undesired resonances.<br />
The AURUM Ribbon Tweeter<br />
The ribbon tweeters, which were specially developed by<br />
quadral's AURUM, work on the magnetostatic principle. We<br />
favour using ribbon tweeters, as they produce the best ratio<br />
between power and size and we also use very valuable and<br />
powerful neodymium magnets to drive the feather-light<br />
foil. This enables the signal to pass through the gossamer<br />
membrane in an effortless process (see Fig. 2). The whole<br />
surface area is driven here, unlike a conventional dome (see<br />
Fig. 1) that only uses the outer edge, as using the entire<br />
driven area prevents any partial oscillations from occurring.<br />
The oblong styling of the sound outlet also improves the<br />
sound dispersion characteristics and very wide sound emission<br />
can be realised horizontally and this also effectively<br />
Figure 1:<br />
delayed rise and fall<br />
of a conventional<br />
metal dome<br />
prevents the severe bundling of unwanted reflections from<br />
the ceiling and the floor that occurs in the vertical axis.<br />
The TITAN’s exceptional status is the result of numerous<br />
technical innovations and optimisations. The ribbon-tweeter<br />
has been completely re-developed according to the principles<br />
used in a real ribbon speaker: Its gossamer and featherlike<br />
membrane is in close contact with two hugely powerful<br />
neodymium magnetic blocks. The membrane is<br />
somewhat finer as compared to its predecessor<br />
yet it can clearly handle greater ranges and<br />
it is so effectively damped at the rear that this<br />
ribbon speaker reproduces astounding music<br />
and the finest tone details with phenomenal<br />
ease!<br />
Three different types of ribbons are used by<br />
quadral's AURUM. The membrane surface area of the big<br />
MONTAN and VULKAN ribbons is four times bigger when<br />
compared to the smaller ribbons, which are also ideally<br />
suited for reproducing music, and this enables the AURUM<br />
ribbon tweeters to work at a full octave deeper (from 2 KHZ)<br />
and generate 10 dB more maximum pressure, which means<br />
that they can play at double the previous sound level.<br />
In summing up, it can be seen that ribbon tweeters also produce<br />
dazzling detail that is also clear and velvety at low volumes<br />
and they also easily outperform conventional domes<br />
due to the conventional dome’s inherent mechanical resistance.<br />

Aluminium Diaphragms<br />
We managed to get even closer to quadral’s<br />
proven ALTIMA® diaphragms with the new aluminium<br />
diaphragms of the PLATINUM M. We<br />
started by using aluminium with a somewhat<br />
higher magnesium portion, which provided<br />
the diaphragms with more rigidity and their<br />
surface with higher compressive strength. This<br />
however also changed the frequency response,<br />
which we corrected with small modifications<br />
to the diaphragm shape and dust protection<br />
calotte in its centre.<br />

The so-called harmonics or harmonic distortions remain<br />
at a very low level of about 0.5 %. This benefits tonal<br />
cleanliness as well as level stability, requires however<br />
difficult fine work with the magnets and the centrings.<br />

A frequency switcher completely smoothes the curve<br />

RiCom M Tweeters<br />
Biwiring-Terminal<br />
The cleverly designed sound guidance of the<br />
newly developed RiCom M offers the possibility<br />
of maintaining an unusually straight-lined<br />
frequency response of the complete loudspeaker<br />
even beyond its centreline. Advantage:<br />
The sound characteristic hardly changes with<br />
the hearing position. Until now, only few highend<br />
loudspeakers have accomplished this feat,<br />
e.g. the Californian luxury-class supplier Revel.<br />
PLATINUM Frequency response in different angles<br />
The diagram shows the sound pressure curve in different<br />
microphone positions (0° to 60° to the centreline<br />
between mid-range speaker and tweeter).<br />
Loudspeakers with a biwiring terminal are<br />
equipped with two separable signal inputs.<br />
It is therefore possible to control the tweeter<br />
and woofer separately: either with two different<br />
cables (biwiring) or, which is better for the<br />
sound, with two different amplifiers (biamping).<br />
In this way, you can achieve maximum<br />
performance from your loudspeakers. This because<br />
some amplifiers and cables are particularly<br />
well suited for higher frequencies, while<br />
others are better suited for woofer rendition.<br />

“... The tweeter sparkles and it is neither annoying<br />

Ribbon Tweeter<br />
The diaphragms of classical ribbon tweeters,<br />
which have been known for the last 80 years,<br />
are suspended in a constant magnetic field and<br />
alternating current flowing through them excites<br />
appropriate oscillations. The aluminium<br />

strips have always been folded in a zigzag, in<br />
order to make them movable or liftable and to<br />
increase their effective length in the air gap.<br />
Ribbons can furthermore easily achieve a range<br />
far beyond the threshold of hearing due to the<br />
low moved mass. No separate moving coil is<br />
required since the diaphragm itself is electrically<br />
conductive; however, a transducer similar<br />
to a transformer is necessary to increase the<br />
electrical resistance of the aluminium strip to<br />
compatible values. The fascinating thing about<br />
small ribbons: The light diaphragm helps them<br />

igh frequency Pressure chamber<br />
r<br />
The woofer operates in a pressure chamber bass refl ex system<br />
m ribbon tweeter which leads to the highest precision and the maximum low<br />
point in the bass. The reason for this is that the pressure chamber<br />
idrange frequency<br />
r, optimised for improves the level of effi ciency in the upper bass range and so<br />
n<br />
the membrane movement required is reduced. The reduced<br />
dia. ALTIMA ®<br />
e speaker membrane stroke reduces the contortions which allows the<br />
bass to be enormously fast and precise. With deep bass, the<br />
chamber<br />
bass refl ex system used improves the level of effi ciency and<br />
dia. ALTIMA ®<br />
leads, in combination with the bass-transformer-circuit (BTC)<br />
realised in the network, to an extremely low frequency limit<br />
layer baffl e of just 14Hz while, at the same time, minimising the required<br />
chamber membrane stroke.<br />
dia. ALTIMA ®<br />
e speaker Frequency separating filter<br />
The frequency separating fi lter is two-part so that the individual<br />
pathways do not infl uence each other. The middle high<br />
ex tube<br />
frequency branch sits in a chamber which is acoustically insulated<br />
from the interior volume of the loudspeaker so that<br />
any and all possible pick-up effects are excluded. The high<br />
quality interior cabling with Real Cable reduces the skin effect<br />
and minimises ohmic and inductive losses. In this way<br />
ex opening<br />
the sound remains open to the maximum, and free without<br />
any compression effects. The design of the overall frequency<br />
separating fi lter, to achieve an even impedance curve and<br />
minimal phase shifting, produces a very amplifi er-friendly<br />
ex<br />
loudspeaker which still develops its maximum sound potential<br />
essentially independently of the amplifi er. The switches integrated<br />
into the frequency separating fi lter allow adjustment<br />
of the loudspeaker to the room acoustics present.<br />
Housing<br />
The housings which are manufactured in Germany very carefully<br />
by hand set new benchmarks in their class for the quality<br />
of their surface fi nish and the selected veneers.<br />
