TECHNOLOGY

Perfectly balanced, discrete non-NFB channels

SOULNOTE's original perfectly balanced non-NFB channels have been fully optimized and incorporated to put give sound quality the highest priority. Voltage feedback has been completely eliminated in the output stage, the voltage amplification stage, and in the power supply circuits. Because of their impact on sound, DC servo circuits and current mirror circuits have been eliminated, while both the constant current circuits and the bias circuits in the voltage amplification stage employ simple circuitry layouts that only use constant current elements (2SK209) and constant voltage elements (LEDs) carefully selected for utmost sound quality. The power amplification stage is perfectly balanced all the way through the emitter follower output. All this in relentless pursuit of vibrant, expansive, clear, and lush music playback.

Relay-switching balanced attenuator

The volume isn't controlled by electronics or a rotary slider, but instead incorporates SOULNOTE's original relays in a balanced attenuator system that switches high-precision resistors. This dramatically increases clarity, and allows the sound image to emerge in three dimensions. It also significantly improves quality at low volume levels without fear of gang errors.

An ideal construction

The input signal line has been rationalized by concentrating the input terminals, input selectors, volume, and the non-NFB voltage amplification stage onto a single multi-layered board. The board does not use even a single shield or filter that could negatively impact the sound in order to eliminate every factor that reduce sound quality, such as the effects of vibrations from connecting cables, inductance components, radiation noise, etc. This ideal construction has been achieved thanks to the relay-switching balanced attenuator.

4-layer board with 70 micron thick copper foil

Composed of the output stage and the main power supply, the power block features an inner layer stratum of 70 micron thick copper foil as the power supply bus bar and thus minimizes high current loops in the commutating capacitor>>output transistor>>speakers + terminals>>speaker terminals>>commutating capacitor cycle. Eliminating inductance components in high current lines creates outstanding frequency characteristics and stability.

Contactless wiring

Connectors have been eliminated in the power supply lines as well as the signal lines, and cables are instead soldered directly to the boards for contactless connections.

Chimney-style heat sink

The heat sink uses a newly developed chimney shape that provides extremely efficient cooling with less vibration.

        

Ferocious power supply

The power supply utilizes a 600 VA bifilar wound toroidal transformer, the most powerful in SOULNOTE's history. Commutating current loops have been minimized by placing ± independent commutating circuits from the fast recovery diode close to the transformer winding. The commutating capacitor employs an ELNA product developed specially for SOULNOTE and selected for its sound quality. Connecting multiple small capacity capacitors in parallel helps control and optimize frequency characteristics and mutual capacitance.

4 parallel high-speed output transistors

The final stage is composed of 4 high-speed transistors (2SC2837/2SA1186) with low Cob and high FT connected in parallel. This combines with the strong non-NFB power supply to provide ample speaker driving power.

The output transistors have been selected and paired by using a specially designed device that measures the Vbe current value while avoiding any influence from rising temperatures in the output transistors. Perfectly aligning the 4 parallel current transistors creates abundant speaker driving power and clear, precise sonic reproduction.

4-step Darlington configuration

High frequency transistors create a 4-step Darlington configuration to drive the final transistors completely, thereby optimizing the amount of each current. This produces ample drive power for each speaker.

Two types of monaural modes

In addition to BTL monaural mode, you can also select bi-amp monaural mode that distributes the monaural input to the left and right channels.

Power amplifier mode

The power amp mode interrupts the power supply to the microcomputer and bypasses the selector and volume. This increases the S/N ratio. XLR and RCA input can also be selected in this mode.

Housing design that prioritizes sound quality

Spikes ground the power supply transformers directly, and while combining the spikes with uneven cross-sectional aluminium panels to control resonance has increased rigidity, the aluminum panels are not directly bonded in order to eliminate unwanted resonance. The top cover, which has a particularly large influence on sound quality, features a dual-component construction that joins the base plate and the aluminum panels at three points so that they do not dampen each other. By grounding it at three points without fixing it to the aluminum portions of the housing itself, this design succeeds in pulling down the sound focus while still keeping it expansive.

Single non-NFB differential BTL channels

The conventional BTL monaural principle that uses the left and right channels of the stereo amplifier in reverse phases can produce powerful sound quality, but the sound impression tends to blur with sounds tending to clump together because of the effects from GND lines or matching two amplifiers. The BTL monaural principle in the A-2, however, adopts a new approach that partitions the differential output of one non-NFB differential amplifier each for the left and right final stage. This creates an expansive sound with vigorous, yet delicate BTL driving.

Versatile Room Divider With Easy Assembly and Strong Coverage
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
I picked up this Siebwin 3-panel folding room divider mainly for privacy and room separation, and overall it works very well. Assembly is very straightforward, and the divider can be set up, taken apart, and stored without much effort. The fabric quality feels good, and the frame construction is stronger and more stable than expected. The support tubes especially feel well built and help keep the divider standing securely. One feature I really liked is the flexibility of the design. The panels can be used together as a complete divider or separated depending on the setup and available space. That makes it much more versatile for different room layouts or temporary privacy needs. The coverage is also very good, and the size matches the manufacturer’s description accurately. The fabric blocks light and background visibility well enough to provide solid privacy without feeling overly heavy. The wider feet also help improve stability compared to thinner folding dividers. Another positive detail is that everything arrived complete with no missing parts or damaged pieces, which made assembly much easier and faster. Compared to cheaper privacy screens, this one feels more durable and easier to customize depending on the situation. In terms of value for the money, it feels like a very practical and worthwhile purchase considering the size, flexibility, and build quality. Overall, a versatile and well-built room divider with easy assembly, strong privacy coverage, stable construction, complete included parts, flexible panel configuration, and excellent everyday functionality.

Stable, flexible in deployment configuration, creates true privacy and looks great.
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
This is the second room divider panel I have installed, and there are several features about this one that I like much better than my older one. The fact that there are no gaps and that the material is thicker means you get more privacy or more hiding power, if you wish. My older divider has vertical spaces between each of the panels and the panels are half as wide as the Siebwin panels, so there are many vertical spaces. The Siebwin divider really creates privacy. Another feature that I really appreciate is that the legs are wider and stand off from the floor. On my older one the legs are flat and they're rather awkward to adjust because they create more drag on the floor. The feet on the older one also loosen if you turn them counter clockwise, so adjustments of configuration that require the feet to be moved are more complex. The older divider also must be deployed in a zig-zag fashion because he feet are not as wide, but this new one can be deployed and stable in a straight, an "N" shape or an arc. They are both the same length, but because the older one must be use in a zig-zag deployment it doesn't reach to the length of the new one. The Siebwin divider definitely costs more at $103.48, but it sports several features and advantages over the other brand, so it does a better job and is worth the extra cost.

Easy to assemble, does the job, material is shiny nylon and shows creases, minor defects, sloppy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W, Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin room divider is a good idea, and for the price, it mostly delivers on the intended functionality. I ordered the 12 foot, 3-panel version mainly to hide an unfinished basement storage area that had become an eyesore. It works well for that purpose and gives the space a cleaner appearance without spending the kind of money that more decorative dividers or custom partitions cost. If you need something temporary, portable, or mainly functional, this is a viable option. There are a few limitations that became obvious during setup and use. The first thing I noticed was that the weld quality on some of the metal poles is fairly sloppy. Once the cover is installed, you do not really see it, but up close, it does not look especially refined or professional. The blackout material also is not a matte canvas style fabric as I expected. It has more of a shiny nylon appearance, and the creases are fairly visible. Being that it’s more of a nylon, I’d be hesitant to try steaming it to remove the creases. However, the creases do not matter if you are using it in a basement, dorm, or shared room, but for photography, video work, or a professional office setting, the appearance could be disappointing. The fabric is thick enough, though. It blocks visibility well enough, but strong light behind it still shows through to some extent, nothing deal-breaking. Also, my fabric appeared to be slightly defective. The hook and loop strip on one of the bottom sections was off-center and couldn't be totally attached because it was lined up with one of the legs. I originally hoped to use this as a video backdrop, but I will probably end up replacing the fabric with a proper green screen or canvas material while continuing to use the frame itself. For now, it does a good job of covering my basement junk. Assembly was actually easier than I expected and took roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The longer vertical poles are tethered together similarly to tent poles, which made setup straightforward and fairly intuitive. The shorter horizontal pieces slide and snap together to the top and bottom of the vertical assembly. After each section is assembled, the divider panels connect together with metal plates and two knurled screws (at the top and bottom), so no tools are really required. A few screws were difficult to start because paint had gotten into the threads, but once they caught, they tightened down normally. The feet install with similar knurled fasteners and help keep the divider reasonably stable. One thing to watch for during setup is the fabric orientation. There is one arrow indicator in the middle of the fabric to indicate up. However, if you need another indicator, the smaller hook and loop strip goes on the bottom while the longer strip goes on top. I realized mine was upside down right before finishing and had to redo it. I wasn't difficult to redo, despite the defect in mine. The overall design is practical and easy to move around. I do like that the panels can fold and bend into different shapes depending on the space. The widened feet help stability, although when trying to stretch the fabric tight, I noticed the poles sometimes wanted to overlap slightly at the joints. Tightening everything helped somewhat, but it still happened occasionally. The divider feels adequate for normal indoor use, though I would not expect premium durability or luxury-level fit and finish at this price point. The entire device can also be easily disabled and stored in a tote if you need it completely out of the way. It comes with assembly instructions, but even if you didn’t have them, it’s easy to build without them (save a mistake or two). In terms of value, I think the Siebwin divider mostly matches its price. Around $100 gets you a large freestanding partition with decent usability and easy assembly, but there are compromises in materials, appearance, and refinement. The defects are also off-putting, but hopefully you won't have them. Higher-end room dividers can easily cost two or three times more, so some of the tradeoffs are expected. I also noticed cheaper alternatives online, but based on the quality here, I suspect those would probably have even more issues. For practical home use, temporary privacy, hiding storage areas, or separating shared spaces, this is a good option as long as expectations stay realistic.

Works well but takes up more space than expected
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This room divider does the job for creating a little extra privacy and was easy enough to set up. The panels feel decent quality and the wider feet help keep it more stable than some cheaper screens I’ve tried. My only issue is that it takes up a bit more room than I expected, especially with the feet sticking out. It’s still portable and folds away nicely, but definitely measure your space first. Overall it works well for separating a room or blocking off an area temporarily. i wish it came in other colors
