New design to be unveiled at HES Munich 2023

[orfeo_monteverdi]

While we finish up it's website(finally) here is some info:
Protos dim is 500mm W X 490mmD x 170mmH

[please forgive my poor English]

Two questions.

Dimensions:
Actually, on the Protos Web page, the dimensions mentioned on the specifications table contradict the dimensions on the diagram :
- Specifications table says: width = 500 mm :-(
- diagram says: width = 470 mm
Quid?

Headphone socket (XLR 4-pin, detailed picture here): I see no switch at the back.
Are the loudspeaker outputs automatically turned off when a headphone is plugged in the back panel (=> the headphone must be plugged/unplugged to mute/let play the speakers),
or
will the final version be equipped with a switch at the back to manually switch off the speakers when the headphone is in use? (=> the headphone may stay plugged in the back).

Thanks.

Hello
Thanks for tackling the typo,it is 500mm wide not 470mm.

Yes there is a 4-pin HT xlr driven directly from the power stage output, just like Genus.
It is fed directly without any switch no.

Best

Thanks,
- what does 'HT' mean?
- no switch for the headphones, fine => are the loudspeaker outputs automatically turned off when a headphone is plugged in the 4-pin XLR in the back panel? Or should you unplug the speaker cables to mute them while listening through headphones?

Hello

You unplug the speaker cables yes when using the headphones. We prefer not to use any switches on the speaker outputs
