The Italian company Gold Note has introduced the Diana line of acoustic systems – modular acoustics that combine excellent sound and configuration flexibility. The Gold Note Diana series is designed for audiophiles looking for versatility – the line includes configurable bookshelf and floorstanding models. Gold Note Diana is designed in an interesting design and construction solution – their cases, made from recycled materials that were used in racing car seats, are finished with acoustically transparent fabric with a layer of special foam to suppress vibrations.
Gold Note Diana I and Diana II are compact two-way bookshelf speakers designed for use in small and medium-sized rooms. The Diana I model is equipped with a 1” silk dome tweeter and a 6.5” midrange speaker with a fiberglass diffuser. The speaker sensitivity is 88 dB.
