Tikpal Audio System
In DevelopmentStreamer, amplifier and speakers engineered and measured as one chain — with DSP presets, wiring and placement decided for you.
Internal ID: system-complete
Specifications
Specifications are provisional
| Configuration | Stream One + Amp One + Reference One pair (configurable) |
|---|---|
| DSP presets | Desk / near-wall / free-standing, per speaker model |
| Wiring | Matched speaker cable set, labelled, correct gauge |
| Setup | Placement card + measurement-verified presets |
| Upgrade path | Every piece works standalone; swap any part without orphaning the rest |
Design highlights
- One verified signal path: source → amplification → speakers, measured end-to-end.
- DSP presets prepared per speaker and per placement, loaded through Amp One.
- Everything in the system is also sold separately — nothing is system-locked.
Why a system
Every piece of audio gear is a compromise made alone. A system built from pieces designed together can make different compromises: the amplifier knows the speaker’s impedance curve, the DSP presets know the speaker’s measured behaviour near walls, and the wiring arrives pre-cut and pre-labelled.
How the pieces combine
- Stream One provides the source: files, NAS, radio, AirPlay.
- Amp One carries the load and hosts the DSP presets for the chosen speakers.
- Reference One pair (or Nearfield / Extended) renders the sound, voiced against exactly this amplifier.
Presets, not guesswork
When the system ships, each speaker model will carry placement presets — desk, near-wall, free-standing — prepared from lab measurements and loaded through Amp One. The presets are documented in the Audio Lab like everything else we tune.
Buying the system
The system will be offered as a bundle once all three pieces are available; today every component is still in prototype. Each piece is sold separately, so you can assemble the system now or later, part by part.
