(Mr.) Vattana Prasertnasung of TOMBO AUDIO

As I was preparing the review of Tombo Audio’s latest product, the Black Wizard series Magic Plate No.5 (MP-05), I asked their Chief Designer, (Mr.) Vattana Prasertnasung to introduce himself and explain the philosophy behind his latest creation.

He was kind enough to have prepared two written replies;

“From 40 years’ experience of listening and playing music, it became very distinct between playback music and live music. What makes it so different is the room environment that provides an ambient to live music and set aside the feeling when played back. Realizing this point, make Mr. Vattana began to create many accessories which reduced a room distortion effect and not disturb the sound from the system. With that, the music will become livelier when it was played back.
The principle behind all the accessories is rather simple. Sound is a vibration and when vibration is transfers on surface or within materials, it becomes a mechanical force. When speaker create a sound, vibration is released and transferred throughout the room. The way of speaker work will create interference. At the base of the speaker, vibration combine with weight of the speaker will create a force point down to earth and the earth will create a counterforce according to Newton law. When all the vibration transfer through this contact point, a reverse vibration is also created in the opposite direction and transferred back to the speaker. This is the cause of distortion right at the source itself.
MP-05 is solely created to solve this problem. The cone shape distribute a force from the contact point and metal ball inside help dissipate the vibration. These synergistic processes resulting in minimal counterforce generation and also minimal distortion from the source.”

“As he found out how a counter force could severely disturb and distort a sound. He designed many accessories, according to the knowledge he comprehended, to relieve this counter force and dissipate it so it could never have any interference. He also patented all his works. With a line of products and patents in hand, he found Tombo Audio Products, a boutique shop for sharing his knowledge of 40 years’ experience to those who seek natural and realistic sound, an undistorted sound. Many products success in bringing satisfaction to the client, the shop as well as his reputation grow.

Looking back at the speaker, all speakers come with a spike/tiptoe tiring to direct or drain a vibration out of the speaker. However, when a vibration is directed and transferred to the ground at the tip of the spike, at that point a counter force as equal as a weight of the speaker is create in reverse direction. As mention before, this force will cause distortion. That is the whole point in the creation of MP-05. It is function a base or platform for a spike of speaker. When a vibration is vertically directed from the tip of spike and transferred to MP-05, it will horizontally dissipate all force and prevent a counterforce to occur. Thus, MP-05 allows the speaker driver do the job with no interference and distortion.”
