MUSIC DESERVES MORE THAN POWER

Behind the I-588's powerful specs lies a thoroughly refined circuit design. The latest Pascal Class D module with advanced UMAC modulation not only delivers clean and fast power, but does so with significantly lower noise and almost non-existent output impedance. This gives the speakers exactly the energy they need - nothing more, nothing less.

POWER SUPPLY WITH MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE

The I-588 is equipped with a resonant mode power supply that operates on pure sine waves rather than the typical square pulses. As the dynamics of the music increase, the power supply automatically adjusts its frequency and delivers high peak power without distortion. The combination of low noise and high precision creates a foundation where the music can breathe freely and effortlessly.

VOLUME CONTROL WITH THE FEEL OF MECHANICAL PERFECTION

On the front you'll find the iconic titanium knurled control wheel. Behind it is an optical shaft connected to a digital encoder that controls the volume in 76 ultra-precise steps – without affecting the analog signal. Volume adjustment doesn't just feel precise, it is precise.

YOUR SOUND – YOUR SYSTEM

The fully analog crossover system allows you to adjust the high-pass and low-pass filters independently. This flexibility allows you to add an active subwoofer, offloading the main speakers for deep bass, and creating better efficiency and clarity in the midrange. This functionality makes the I-588 ideal for both classic stereo setups and advanced systems with external power amplifiers.

NOISE COMBATED WITH SCIENTIFIC PRECISION

The Aavik I-588 uses a combined noise reduction network consisting of 108 active Tesla coils, 240 active square Tesla coils and 7 anti aerial resonance coils. These components work together to neutralize both electrical and airborne noise – providing unprecedented calm and focus in the soundstage.

SIGNAL CLARITY MADE EVEN CLEARER

Ansuz's third generation analog dither technology is integrated into 10 independent circuits in the I-588. These create anti-phase pulses that reduce background noise and significantly enhance musicality. The technology originally comes from radar - but here it is used to open up the soundstage, improve depth perception and bring out micro-details that would normally be lost.

A DESIGN THAT SPEAKS TO THE EYE AND THE EARS

I-588 is the result of the creative collaboration between Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen. The cabinet is both sculptural and technically well thought out, where form and function work in perfect harmony. The finish, materials and minimalist expression emphasize that I-588 is created for those who value aesthetics as much as acoustics.
