TitantelestoTitantigrisThe Telesto is a slim and strikingentry to the Titan seriesThe Tigris is a dominant andstriking evolution of theuncompromising Titan seriesThe TitansThe new generation of Titans are the resultof 5 years intensive development andthe natural continuation of the researchthat began nearly 25 years ago withJoseph Sahyoun’s dream of the perfectloudspeaker. During the development ofthe original reference the Titan Tethys, itwas recognized that the combination ofindividually uncompromising componentsfailed to achieve the homogeneousperfection and true to life reproductionJoseph so ardently desired.New drive units were developed in-paralleland designed to work harmoniouslytogether. Closely mimicking nature’sorganic growth, the drive units grew uptogether instead of being introduced toeach other as adult strangers, attemptingto connect through a complex and dilutingcrossover network.The result is a loudspeaker with constantenergy dispersion. A speaker with notonal shift regardless of volume. Aspeaker where detail is not achieved atthe expense of dynamics.Titan Series’ straight through wide openperformance sets a new standard forloudspeaker design.When you can get musicto sound like this, it justmakes one’s hair standon end.—Dr. John E. Johnson JR, PHD,Secrets of Home Theater andHigh FidelityGeneration of the widebandsuper driversIn the quest for extended bandwidth andhomogeneous excellence, Titan seriesbreaks with convention. Fewer deviceswith higher bandwidth have betterharmonic characteristics. Thus the useof one super tweeter and one super midrangeis genetically better than a use of amidrange, a tweeter and a super tweeter.Traditionally non uniformities have beentried, solved by way of refinement. Herethey are removed from the design atinception, resulting in a detailed andcompletely compression free sound — sounhindered and shackle-free that soundexits the speaker almost as if it waslightening.Luxurious Piano SurfaceTigris and Telesto’s exterior surface ismade of deep luxurious black glossypiano lacquer. The finish is a uniqueprocess requiring several stages. Thecabinet surface is primed and sandedbefore multiple layers of black lacquerare applied. The cabinet is then finishedwith a smooth and deep clear coat that ismasterfully polished.Hemi Elliptical CabinetTechnologyThe Hemi Elliptical design reducesreflections and standing waves whichensures a transparent, dynamic andneutral reproduction. Layer upon layer ofsteam bent wood are adhered together foruniform structural thickness and optimumrigidity. The combination of uniformthickness and strong geometric shapesresults in an anechoic and incrediblystrong cabinet.Read about the exciting Titan journey ofdevelopment in-depth on our website,earthquakesound.comThe elegant finish complements theiconic design and sculpturally addssophistication and exclusivity to anyhome.This speaker certainly needsto make no apologieswhen it comes to fit andfinish, component qualityand design.—Chris Groppi,Secrets of Home Theater andBoth Titans possess bi-amping capability andgold plated terminalsHigh Fidelity Specifications are are subject subject to change to change without without notice noticewww.earthquakesound.com

cinÉnovaThe Cinénova line— evolved and expanded.Cinénova Grande 7 ChannelTwo years of research.Three new technologies.Earthquake Sound proudly presents thelatest iteration of the legendary Cinénovaline of multi channel amplifiers.The Cinénova concept has evolved givingthe mighty Cinénova Grande advancedbridging capabilities and a smallersibling— the Cinénova 7.For years audiophiles have been askingfor an amplifier rivaling the CinénovaGrande in audio excellence, but positionedin the 200 watt class. The Cinénova namerepresents the pinnacle of amplificationregardless of price. Traditionally, listenersassume that a reduction in power andcost will influence the quality of sound.With a constant demand for this amplifier,Earthquake’s chief engineer JosephSahyoun descended into the Earthquakeresearch laboratories determined to crackthe code to the universe and design anamplifier with no compromise in soundquality and competitively priced.Since its inception, the Cinénovadesign concept has been a temperedblend of traditional high-end virtuescombined with innovative and novelcircuitry design. Produced using in-houseproprietary manufacturing techniquesthis tradition lives on in the new Cinénova7 with a completely monaural design andenhanced class A/B operation. The resultis industry leading efficiency making theCinénova 7 a true green amplifier.During the research process for theCinénova 7, three core technologieswere developed to optimize the amplifierand elevate its performance above itsclass. These new technologies provedso successful that the Cinénova Grandereference design itself was reborn withthem.Cinénova 7The MARS technologyMagnetically Actuated ReanimationSystem is a new type of protection systemthat enables the use of all the amplifier’spower resources without compromisingthe survivability of the amplifier undercatastrophic conditions. Typical protectionsystems rely on fuses or relays thatcomplicate the signal path thus degradingaudio quality. MARS is different as itis not in the signal path, but works bysensing the electro-magnetic signature ofthe speaker output wire then translatingthis input into amperes flowing throughthe wire. Using the principle discovered byDanish Scientist H.C. Oersted, this designhas no impact on the sound quality of theamplifier as it is totally separate from theaudio circuits.The internal communication of MARS ishandled via optics rather than electricalcircuits. This means MARS does not createan electromagnetic field as no currentis flowing through wires. The signal pathremains free of artifacts that impact andtaint the sound in other designs as noamount of light activity can influence anelectrical system.Normally a relatively large safety marginis necessary because of the antiquatednature of traditional protection systems.MARS operates at 500kHz speed makingit deadly accurate. This enables theamplifier to utilize the outputs SOA (safeoperating area) to the limit. This givesa MARS enabled amplifier 20 percentmore power than an identical non-MARSamplifier.During testing the MARS technologyshowed that the output of the amplifiercould be short-circuited at full power morethan a thousand times with no damageto the amplifier. MARS does not use anyrelays or other damping-factor reducingmechanical switches that can wear outor fail over time. Instead, a speciallydesigned circuit instantly shuts off theoutput drive.In the event a short-circuit activates theMARS protection system, it continuouslyre-scans the output every 10 seconds.Normal operation automatically resumesas soon as the short-circuit condition isremoved.

cinÉnovaPower outputCinénova Grande328W at 8Ω610W at 4ΩCinénova 7175W at 8Ω250W at 4ΩCinénova Grande special featuresAdvanced bridging capabilityCinénova Grande is already the mostpowerful multi channel amplifier on themarket. The new bridging functionalityfurther extends Cinénova Grande intothe wattage stratosphere by breakingthe vaunted 1,000 watts at 8 ohmhifi amplifier barrier. A feat previouslyaccomplished by only a handful ofexotic 2 channel high-end amplifiers.Built-in electronic crossoverThis is a unique feature that allowseach channel to be adjusted only toreproduce the user’s desired frequencyrange. The crossover function is asuperb tool when bi-amping or usinga channel as a dedicated subwooferamplifier.The ION technologyIn-Circuit Optimization Network isan advanced network of connectionpoints on the Cinénova circuit-boards.Traditionally, transistors and capacitorsare paired, grouped and tested toensure compatibility. However, it hasbeen shown especially by exotic andesoteric audiophiles across the globethat even highly refined mass producedamplifiers have substantial room forimprovement when individually tweakedand optimized. A lot happens whenindividual components are put togetherin a circuit. A certain margin of differencebetween two seemingly identical circuitsexists. Some engineers refer to this asthe “Ghost in the machine.” The optionof being able to fine-tune and optimize acircuit even after it has been built wouldbe the evolutionary solution— enter theION technology. ION enables individualtweaking while remaining in a massproduction environment.When the circuit is completed, the IONnetwork is connected to a speciallydesigned diagnostics computer thatautomatically determines the optimalconnections and ION then makes thoseconnections permanent.ConCurrent power supplyThe ConCurrent power supply designensures full power can be delivered atall times to all channels simultaneously.Earthquake engineers developed theparallel symmetric transformer withidentical electromagnetic coupling foreach secondary winding. Every channelhas its own secondary winding, capacitorbank, rectifiers and output circuitryall mounted on massive, individually,vertically-ripped extruded aluminum heatsinks.The individual channels remainsovereign and autonomous as sharingis not required. This guarantees that nomatter how hard one channel is drivenit will have no effect on surroundingchannels.Power supply efficiency, stiffness andstrength are dependent on severalfactors. The ConCurrent design is theculmination of intense optimization of allknown parameters. To stiffen the supply(lower regulation factor) the transformercores are made of ferrite instead of alower grade iron material. The windingsare made with the same oxygen freecopper that is used in high-end speakercables. To ensure hum-free operation, thetransformer is hard-wound and made withmilitary grade high temperature lacquer.A high-end design using completelyseparate output blocks are largelyunheard of in this class of amplifier, butwith Earthquake’s enduring strive forquality and excellence there simply wasno other way. From the loudest crescendoto the finest syllable, the Cinénova willremain composed and in control. Weinvite you to enjoy the unique ownershipexperience of this Cinénova amplifier thatwas designed by a brilliant mind and builtwith loving hands.terminal Block Specifications are are subject subject to change to change without without notice noticeback panel of Cinénova Grande 7back panel of Cinénova 7www.earthquakesound.com

ave reviewsTitan Telesto[Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity]“The Telestos definitely have a neutral tonality to them,and this comes across as sounding ‘natural’...”“The Earthquake Titan Telesto speakers are unusualin that they have two tweeters dividing the highfrequencies between them. The result is extra detail andclarity, which makes this product especially worthy ofauditioning if you are in the market.”Couch potato: Cp8[Secrets of home Theater and High Fidelity]“When driven hard, it never exhibited strain, thoughthe cone was pumping vigorously. I was impressed! Nodistracting port noises or huffing were noted.”“The size and shape allow for easy concealment, and thebass output is nothing short of remarkable.”“The Earthquake Audio CP-8 left me shaken andsatisfied while adding some ‘fun’ to my media enjoymentat a modest cost.”Q10B Tactile transducer[Secrets of Home theater and high Fidelity]“That’s right. You could vibrate the entire floor of yourhome theater with this unit.”“...it is the most powerful one I have ever experienced.And the amplifier is the most flexible.”“...it is an accessory worth having. In fact, never to bewithout again.”supernova MKIV subwoofer 12 inch[Home Theater magazine]“Earthquake subs remain among the loudest and, dollarper-decibel,among top performers.”“Just when you think you know a scene after seeing it500 times...This subwoofer took my home theater to newdepths.”“...(sorry, since most subs don’t go that low, I couldn’tfind a test CD that even bothered to reach below 20Hz).”MQB-1 and XJ-300R[Game Informer]“Tired of the sissy subwoofer that came with your hometheater system? Check out Earthquake Audio’s TactileTransducers. The high-end speaker company has createdan alternative that will literally shake your couch.”“...anyone serious about home theater will enjoy thecomplement to action movies and explosive gaming.”CinÉnova Grande[Home Theater magazine]“Off-the-chart dynamics, raw power, and a free-flowingsense of ease and composure.”“Earthquake has gone to considerable lengths to provethat a potent combination of speed, grace, and powercan be harnessed on a large, multichannel chassis.”iQuake-52 iPod docking speakers[Secrets of Home theater and high Fidelity]“The sound quality just simply blew me away.”“The SPL that this thing could deliver also amazed me.The carbon fiber woofers didn’t break up, and there wasno harshness from the tweeter. Seriously, I have heardlarger, more expensive bookshelf speakers that didn’tsound this good.”Supernova MKIV Subwoofer 15”[Stereophile]“There might be better subwoofers on the planet, but Ihaven’t heard them.”“Because of the SLAPS design, the Supernova’s phaseresponse and time alignment are said to match thoseof a sealed cabinet, but with the greater dynamic abilityand smaller size of a ported design.”“The iQuake seems to be almost in a category by itself...”“The Earthquake MKIV-15 did 15Hz with panache andstyle.”“I heartily recommend the Earthquake SuperNova MKIV-15 for any system requiring the ultimate sonic boon[sic].”SWAT2.4[Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity]“One bit of serendipity was that a ground loop humin one of the subs that had been driving me crazydisappeared, because there was no longer a direct wireconnection from the SSP to the subwoofer.”“The beauty is that you can have several SWATtransmitters all going at the same time, each of which is‘paired’ with a specific SWAT receiver.”minime[Hartford courant, Courant.com]“It’s capable of reaching sonic peaks of 108 decibels— somewhere between a jackhammer, a chain saw, andmidfield at the Super Bowl. This little lug can rumble.”“The doors were still rattling down into the low 20s.That’s superb output from a subwoofer this small.”“...it sounded as loud as a lot of its much bigger rivals.”Supernova MK subwoofer[widescreen review]“Want to move your world? Get an EarthquakeSupernova Millennium 15.”“Supernova is the most powerful home theatersubwoofer I’ve ever heard...”“It beats the other vented designs for fidelity and delivershigher output than any other compact home theatersubwoofer I’ve reviewed.”“...they wanted to produce a subwoofer with fewer soniccompromises—one that actually sounded better, notsimply one that played louder.”CinÉnova Grande 5 Channel[Home Theater magazine]“There are several very subtle details that only thebest amps, preamps, and speakers can uncover. TheCinénova Grande unveiled them all.”“Once I got the Cinénova Grande on the measuringbench, I was even more astounded—it measured exactlyas Earthquake had specified.”“A new value-driven benchmark in high-performancetheater.”“The harder I pushed the amp, the less distortion I got!”26 Specifications are are subject to change to change without notice noticewww.earthquakesound.com 27
