News about the Gran Gioia MK 2
2x16" - Turbo
%26-%12-%2021, %R ProductThe Munich High End 2020 can come
It is not a typo in the header, it is the time it sometimes takes to get a good project completed.
It was an hard task, but it was worth it.
Stil we have to decide some small construction improvements and the collocation of the project, whether. But You can already see some new technologies implemented and recognize some established ones:
- Jet bass nozzle
- Double airwave duct
- Harmonic construction
- Blumenhofer own developed 16" woofer
- Blumenhofer acoustics berilyum compression driver
- Biradial mid high range horn
- External Cross over
- ...
The first batch of series woofers have arrived

The first batch of new Blumenhofer woofers has been delivered yesterday. Looking forward to deliver You, the necessary tools for Your next time.
We actually had already some pre-series woofer in house that allowed us to deliver the first customers. And this delivery was expected already long ago. But... delayed due to Coronavirus.
The first BHA-16" woofer from small series production

Finally we are getting there again. After 2 years development and several iterations, the new 16" woofer entirely born on our experience and research. Air dried paper membrane. 8Ω and 16Ω for several projects. 2 versions, one for subwoofer application one for stereo application. We will soon be able to restart the production of the Genuin FS 1, which will become MK 3, because there are very big changes connected to the woofer.
We introduce the Gran Gioia MK 2
%18-%05-%2017, %R Gran Gioia MK 2, Product
No need for big marketing slogans, no need to tell You how many prototypes of the horn we built, no need to tell You what nor why. As usual, no compromises… but we collected good ideas what could come next ;-)
Today we will play the Gran Gioia MK 2 for the first time in public. At the Munich High End 2017 Room F224… there is no better moment to introduce new products.
We discontinue Gioia, Gran Gioia and Clara Luna
%17-%05-%2017, %R Clara Luna, Gioia, Gran Gioia, Product
After several years we discontinue the Gioia, the Gran Gioia and the Clara Luna. The reasons are different but absolutely understandable.
The Clara Luna: one of the components is no more available and there is no possibility to find an alternative without going in the MK 2 version.
The Gran Gioia: in the last years we have made huge steps forward in the construction and in the knowledge about how to build horns and phase plugs.
The Gioia: very simple, the costs related to the construction of the Gioia are just a little bit lower than the costs related to the Gran Gioia. This would put the Gioia in a very similar price category to the Gran Gioia and would force us to artificially increase the price of the Gran Gioia. We are not keen to these pricing games just to avoid internal competitions. We aim at giving the best value for money to our customers.
We introduce the Fun 13 MK 2
%11-%01-%2017, %R Fun 13 MK 2, ProductOur goal was to keep the same friendly dimensions and the same friendly design of the predecessor. Not a bigger loudspeaker, but a far better sounding one.
The differences, technically speaking are 2:
- a new silk dome tweeter with 28mm diameter
- a new woofer same dimensions but with P2C membrane
The first production after the pre-series have left the company in the last weeks.
We discontinue the big Fun 17
%10-%10-%2016, %R big Fun 17, ProductIntroduced back in 2009, now it is time to discontinue it.
It is a small loudspeaker with astonishing sound qualities. I know several people, who would not even think about changing it, not even for the bigger ones: they have become addicted to the bass horn!
