The shorter the signal path, the better. That is why
we have mounted the crossover directly onto the
terminals – minimizing potential signal loss from
the terminal to the crossover.
In the floorstanding models - IKON 5, 6, and 7 MK2
- we have constructed the crossover from two
vibration-absorbing wood fibre boards to reduce
mechanically transferred vibrations. The multi-
layer design enables us to position the inductors
with maximum separation and at multiple angles to
minimize electro-magnetic interference.
All crossovers in the IKON MK2 series are hardwired
point-to-point by hand. The advantage is obvious
and crucial. By hardwiring point-to-point the
connection between each crossover component
is optimum and loss is reduced to an absolute
minimum. Furthermore, the absence of a traditional
glass fibre PCB eliminates the risk of print board
resonances.
The terminals have been developed especially for
this series and feature sturdy, gold-plated binding
posts. IKON 1, ON-WALL, and VOKAL 2 MK2 are
prepared for single wiring; the rest of the series
feature bi-wiring terminals with a heavy power
bridge (included) for single wiring. The binding
posts will accept banana, spade and cable.
For optimal, long-lasting and low-loss connectivity
between the driver and the crossover we use gold-
plated spades on the internal DALI specified cable
from the crossover to the drivers.

Layout of terminals on the back of IKON VOKAL 2 MK2 enables
placement very close to the wall.
