The Zelia Alnico is the evolution of the Zélia, top of the range of the catalog of loudspeakers designed by the Supravox team.

The concept is the same as ferrite Zelia: use the midrange over the widest bandwidth possible, add the best bass and the best treble, load them into an open baffle in order to preserve the expressiveness of the loudspeakers and eliminate any box coloration.

We have created two new Alnico drivers for this model: the 165 MA, and the 285 GA. The medium retains the membrane of the 165 Supravox, is powered by a huge Alnico motor in short coil configuration, offering a travel of +/- 3 mm. The two 285 GA benefit from a stiffened cone, combined with a small-pleated fabric edge allowing wide travels of the cone, their optimized parameters allow us to obtain quick, dynamic and surprisingly low frequencies in an open baffle configuration. These loudspeakers are associated with our TG1/4 beyond 3 kHz where its dynamics and transparency work wonders.

The 3-way filter, a near-optimal second-order Linkwitz-Riley type, has been optimized accordingly.

High-Precision Craftsmanship: Made in France

Each Supravox loudspeaker inherits expertise born in the 1950s. From the iconic 215 RTF 64 to today's innovations, our loudspeakers are entirely hand-assembled in our workshop just outside Paris. A French standard of perfection that defies time to deliver pure musical emotion.

The Artisan's Touch
At the heart of our factory on the outskirts of Paris, each voice coil is hand-wound with micrometric tension. We use ultra-light supports and high-purity conductors to minimize moving mass. It is this extreme lightness that gives our loudspeakers their legendary responsiveness and their ability to reveal the finest details.
The Hand and the Spirit
Each loudspeaker is a unique piece, assembled by craftsmen whose expertise has been passed down for decades. The precision of the centering and the tension of the suspensions are adjusted by touch, a sensitivity that no machine can replicate. This artisanal assembly guarantees perfect fluidity of movement and exceptional longevity.
Exponential Paper Cones
Our cones are made from a proprietary recipe of long-fiber paper, manually processed to achieve an ideal balance of rigidity and damping. The exponential profile, pioneered by Supravox, ensures homogeneous sound diffusion. The result is an organic timbre and strikingly realistic vocal presence.

Magnetic Alchemy
Beyond the simple magnet, we master energy. In our factory on the outskirts of Paris, we forge Alnico 5 motors and Field Coil systems capable of saturating the air gap with absolute precision. This controlled power offers lightning-fast dynamics and almost zero distortion, hallmarks of Supravox's high sensitivity.
Signal Purity
Perfection often comes from subtraction. By designing full-range loudspeakers capable of covering most of the spectrum, we eliminate the need for crossover filters. The signal travels directly from your amplifier to the cone, preserving perfect phase coherence and a holographic soundstage of complete transparency.
Tested for Eternity
Each unit leaving our workshops undergoes a rigorous testing protocol: frequency analysis, impedance measurement, and tactile inspection of the excursion. But the final verdict belongs to the human ear. Each loudspeaker is validated by our technicians, ensuring that your investment will remain an exceptional instrument for decades to come.
