The TEMPO loudspeakers manage the feat of bridging the gap between unbelievable precision, realistic rendering and uncompromising neutrality like no TEMPO before. Equipped with the latest AUDIO PHYSIC developments and meticulously refined down to the detail, the TEMPO significantly raise the bar in terms of what you can now expect from a living-room friendly standing loudspeaker.You can treat yourself to incomparable music enjoyment, true to the AUDIO PHYSIC motto: Nothing but Music.The TEMPO almost appear fragile, and yet they skilfully conceal the refined engineering and intelligent design that make them exceptional loudspeakers in their class. Their slender, tall shape, gently sloped at an angle, and with rejuvenating side panels towards the front, reduces rogue, i.e. unwanted natural oscillations of the cabinet, along with standing waves in the interior of the loudspeaker. Without countermeasures, own vibrations and standing waves such as these can quickly cause an undifferentiated, sometimes even droning, sound. The design of the TEMPO combats these dangers at the source.Two high-performance bass drivers, equipped with stiff aluminium membranes, are located precisely across from one another in the sides of the TEMPO. The location and switching of the chassis and the so-called push-push technology create a symmetrical distribution of force on the loudspeaker cabinet when the loudspeaker is in use. The complete facelift of the bass compartment makes a substantial contribution towards improving the impulse response. Instead of traditional insulation material for dampening the acoustic noise emitted into the loudspeaker interior, open-pore ceramic foam is deployed. With a pore ratio of over 85%, the dampening is now significantly more effective. The ceramic foam itself is extremely stiff and helps to further stabilise the loudspeaker cabinet. The result is a level of precision unto its own in this class.The tweeters and midrange drivers are manufactured exclusively for AUDIO PHYSIC, their hybrid cone construction (HHC technology) is unique, combining the dampening characteristics of modern polymers with the stability and torsional stiffness of metal. Detrimental effects on sound due to interactions between the suspension system and the chassis basket are thus effectively eliminated. The outcome is a smooth and homogeneous acoustic pattern, from the fundamental tone all the way to the highest frequencies.Like the tweeter, the mid-range driver of the TEMPO has its own compartment. In addition to the elaborate HHC basket construction, the mid-range driver is also equipped with a fixed phase plug made of metal. Depending upon the music material and volume, suspension systems tend to develop intense heat, which under circumstances can alter certain parameters. The metal phase plug is an efficient heat sink, also reducing compression effects behind the membrane. The new TEMPO features the latest generation of mid-range drivers, the HHCM III.When it comes to the tweeters, the TEMPO features the latest chassis generation, HHCT III, which is also deployed in larger AUDIO PHYSIC loudspeakers.The crossovers were also given a facelift, individual components selectively protected from micro-vibrations and the interior wiring was intuitively streamlined. Not least, the TEMPO plus is built with solid aluminium traverses, which are also used in the AVANTI 35. They guarantee easy handling and optimal contact to the floor. The result of these measures: significantly higher resolution, enhanced homogeneity and stunningly authentic musicality. The TEMPO also featured magnetic fabric grills in black instead of normal fabric grills.The TEMPO stylish traverses facilitate setup and guarantee a sure footing on any surface. Thanks to the M8 threads, the TEMPO can be easily equipped with the Audio Physic VCF II Magnetic plus feet. Their cutting-edge design enables a noticeably improved audio fidelity and reproduction authenticity. Not only that, the VCF II M8 Magnetic plus feet protect sensitive floors from scratches.

About the brand
Loudspeakers that you cannot hear. Which disappear in the music. That is the mission of Audio Physic. Bringing music to life, making it physically tangible. With Audio Physic, music is not a simple reproduction. Every piano stroke, broom, violin stroke, or guitar riff is vividly clear and creates a live goose-bumps feeling. The living room becomes a concert hall, a rock stage, a festival. How is that possible? The linchpin is their deep understanding of materials and structures and their the years of experience.
In the course of their 35-year company history, they have written hifi history several times, thanks to their developers Joachim Gerhard, known in the scene as “the Magician”, and their current chief developer Manfred Diestertich. From Avanti and Virgo, the first floor-standing loudspeakers on the market, to the Medea launched in 1991. A legend in the hifi scene. Frenetically celebrated by the trade press as a “resolution miracle” due to its touching reproduction of music, the post-modern-designed Medea was a worldwide reference loudspeaker for years. Always in search of even more music, in 1993 the Cardeas loudspeaker showed an unprecedented level of detail along with the entire frequency band. A new reference loudspeaker was born. Again from Audio Physic.
They set market standards
Audio Physic products are created in a long and intensive process. Each speaker goes through hundreds of listening tests. Each component is tested and continuously improved. And not only from an acoustic but also from an aesthetic point of view. With this dedication, not only Audio Physic reference models are created, but all of their loudspeakers.
They are pioneers in the research and application of new materials and structures in loudspeaker development. And set market standards in the process. Always in search of an even more authentic sound, they do not leave any detail unnoticed. They were the first company to use ceramic foam and showed that glass is not a taboo material. While many manufacturers now rely on dome tweeters, they have been working on the further development of their aluminum cone tweeters for over 15 years. Their drivers are another important component for an emotional, dynamic, and undistorted listening experience. The largely self-developed chassis are unparalleled in the world of hifi.
Hand made in Germany
Their products are manufactured by hand in Brilon, Sauerland. This makes them one of the last loudspeaker manufacturers in Germany. Rooted in Brilon in the Sauerland region, many of their suppliers come from the surrounding area. Regionality and sustainability are part of their DNA.
Audio Physic loudspeakers only leave the house after careful measurement and acoustic tests. Since they attach great importance to competent advice and good service, they sell their products exclusively through high-quality retailers.
Nothing But Music
Beyond technical innovation, all their efforts at Audio Physic serve one purpose: music. Nothing But Music.
