The 1010 Exposure has suitable price
for a lot of people who are interested in sound. It brings an emotional
performance with sound that is balanced, natural lively and has a lot of
details.
British is the country that produces famous
brand names of sound. In recent decades, people who are interested in sound
will be familiar with names such as: Tannoy, Linn, Naim, Arcam, Musical
Fidelity... while Exposure is rather strange. Occasionally, they find a
“second-hand” amplifier of Exposure at a store that sells second-hand
furniture. People who used to use Exposure will appreciate this brand name and
they consider that Exposure’s product is similar to Naim - a high ranking brand
name that is trusted.
Exposure
1010 Amplifier’s price is $714.
Couple of amplifier and CD DVD of
entry-level series of Exposure has 1010 binary symbol. DVD’s price is $681 and
amplifier’s price is $714 and they were becoming important couple on eventful
hi-fi arena in the last days of 2012.
2 products of entry-level 1010 series of
Exposure are produced at Malaysia with clear intention to reduce maximum price
but remain sound characteristics of firm and their design is irreducible about
both form and feature. This couple uses the same type of cover that is made of
tole with lumpy paint. Their front face is made of milling aluminum that is casted
shapely. And they are also anodized to prevent scratching. Their loudspeaker stake,
signal stake isn’t high-ranking enough to make users impressed and they are
different from other products. Control arm is very simple, small and made of
plastic so that they help reduce price.
“Quality is inside product” – this is a correct
consideration about this couple of product. As soon as we open its upper cover,
we consider this is a product that will bring good quality through method of
designing circuit and using components. Both of them have circuit designing
style of British. They are neat, tidy and use a few of components. It is
different from designing style of Japanese that is fussy, complex and
inextricable.
Components
in amplifier are arranged tidily and scientifically.
Exposure Amplifier has tidy electric
circuit; it is arranged less than a half of bottom’s area. On the top of big
circuit are 2 small circuits that have to transfer input signal and
pre-amplification. Capacity circuit is made of thick string of glass with 2
covers of circuits that are covered copper stably. Components are arranged
tidily and scientifically on 2 faces of circuit to ensure that signal’s path is
the shortest. Amplifier uses 2 high-ranking couples of Toshiba’s coal at
capacity. A high-ranking bracelet source of Noratel firm is produced according
to Exposure’s order form; it has 120VA capacity and has to provide the whole
equipment with source. Circuit filtering source uses many small condensers that
are installed parallel to reduce internal resistance. Most of the condensers
that are used on element electric circuit are Elna firm’s condensers. They have
good sound quality. Potentiometer is blue type of ALPS firm (Japan). It is
attached motor to adjust volume on control arm.
A
high-ranking bracelet source of Noratel firm (British)
CD DVD is also designed according to this
style. The element electric circuits are separated independently to prevent
noise. Servo circuit that controls mechanics is arranged below mechanical part
and ensures that RF signal has the shortest path. Mechanical part of Sony firm
has KSS 213C eye reader that is easily replaced. Sensor that provides power is
high quality bracelet sensor of Noratel firm. Source filtering circuit is
arranged in the center of motherboard and this thing is very intelligent.
Filter’s heart is PCM 1716 decoder of Burr Brown firm. Condenser that is used
in source is Elna Silmic. Condenser of number and analog is new model of Elna
with aluminum plate that has low inside resistance and it is designed to radio
particularly.
Technological principle of 1010’s 2
products is similar to many products of firm that are more high-ranking. People
eliminate some unnecessary features to reduce price so that many customers will
pay much attention to this product. However, its basic functions are also
similar to 2010 or 3010 series that are bought with higher price.
Although 1010’s products are produced in
Malaysia, they are sent to British to be checked before given to distributors.
Engineers that test product’s quality will write testing result of every stage
on note and put it inside cover of 2 products. This thing means that firm pays
much attention to product’s quality regardless of entry-level series and their
price is popular.
Note
that is used to write testing result of every stage before product is finished
and stored in barrel.
Test Exposure 1010 Amplifier with Cambridge
Azur 640C MkII reader-compositing partner and couple of bookself Amphion Argon
3 loudspeaker. Although these integrated amplifiers have modest capacity (55W), they have supreme
sound that can shake room with volume about 11 hours. Bass sound is solid, tidy
and not pulled tail. Sound is emotive with beautifully high and separated
range. Especially, this system’s movement is rather good and it can bring a
jubilant sound stage with clearly roan cover.
When you replace Cambridge
Azur 640C II with Cambridge Azur 640C II’s reader, sound is improved clearly,
especially in details and natural. When you listen to some songs, sound seems
to be not as confused as previous readers. In addition, stage is receded behind
and this thing creates a comfortable feeling. This medium range is better and
it creates confidence in a rank system. Sound of instruments has vibration that
is realer than previous readers.
In general evaluation, Exposure 1010 has a
suitable price and it can bring emotional performance with sound that is
balanced, natural, lively and rich of details. This couple is suitable with
many kinds of music, especially symphony and performing in a concert. Although
they are only entry-level products, these couples compete equally with many
similar combos whose price is higher in the market.
