Heco BellaDonna

There are cases where you want music to be as authentic and natural as possible, but not if it's from a floorstanding speaker. There can be a variety of reasons for this, such as: Not enough space, a room that simply doesn't "tolerate" floorstanding speakers, or simply your desire to achieve maximum sound quality from minimum space. That's why the Bella Donna is a shelf speaker. The shelf speaker. Simply the best shelf speaker.

TWO WAYS IN ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

That's why the Bella Donna is a shelf speaker. The shelf speaker. Simply the best shelf speaker.

 "A SHELF SPEAKER. THE SHELF SPEAKER. SIMPLY THE BEST SHELF SPEAKER"
We have created a speaker that will leave many people asking themselves: "Why do I actually have large speakers?" The way to achieving our goal was by no means easy. The limited size and volume posed a real challenge for our developers, because you simply can't mess about with physics. We developed every component and every structural detail of the Bella Donna from scratch. Of course, this is all based on our decades of experience. Naturally, using our tried and tested technology. It's just even better. Even more elaborate. Come with us on our journey to the perfect shelf speaker.

TWO WAYS; WHAT ELSE?
 Limited in terms of size? This requires a very clear principle: A principle of two ways. Two chassis; one for the high notes and one for all the rest. And "the rest" has quite a lot of significance. In a two-way speaker like the Bella Donna, this encompasses all of the frequencies below 2,600 Hz. Everything that makes the vocal arrangement sound powerful and natural occurs in this frequency range. Everything that gives instruments their authenticity. But it's not just that; it's much, much more besides.

THE BELLA DONNA'S WOOFER:
200 MM OF PURE TALENT We have equipped the Bella Donna with a 200 mm diameter woofer chassis. This produces a cone surface area of 225 cm2. This evokes memories of maths lessons and Pi in particular. Our developers had to utilize this surface area to move as much air as possible, i.e. to generate a good bass range. In doing so, however, they also had to ensure the Bella Donna's woofer reproduces vocals and instruments with the utmost precision. And precision means control. We achieved this with a newly developed cone. Of course, this is based on our tried and tested kraft paper, which is made from selected Nordic softwood and consists of particularly long fibers. Combined with the wool threads inserted into the cone, it creates a fiber structure that makes our cones particularly sturdy. Nevertheless, they are still lightweight and easy to control - which is an important component for a precise sound. To ensure the Bella Donna's woofers fulfill our precise requirements, they, like all of our chassis, were tested using Klippel laser measuring technology.

The technical conditions for this are optimal: The damping elements of the chassis and the magnetic drive are completely symmetrical. This means that the full 32 mm voice coil, which is made of copper-coated aluminum wire, has identical conditions, regardless of whether it oscillates backwards or forwards from its zero position. This was achieved thanks to a special drive construction in the magnet area. For the ear, this means an unrivaled low harmonic factor, i.e. the lowest possible distortion. The elaborate construction also includes a special dust cap that is based on our POC principle (which stands for Phase Optimization Cap).

This phase optimization component is important on the one hand, because the woofer is also responsible for reproducing large parts of the vocal range. On the other hand, it also needs to produce a deep bass range. Which it does. The Bella Donna's bass reflex housing allows it to reproduce frequencies down to 28 Hz with ease. The even more meaningful range extends up to 34 Hz with a maximum deviation of +3/-6 dB. Many floorstanding speakers from other manufacturers simply cannot compete with this.
