Well, don’t take this too literal, as we’re not dealing with an antique. It’s just that, unlike other brands that follow the latest trends and embrace cutting edge technology, OMA audio has always looked towards the past to design the future.
The Imperia Horn Series is a four way horn system, showing off a vertical line of conical horns covering 100 Hz to 20 kHz, and two rear loaded sub-woofer horns using a 21-inch neodymium woofer. Designed by David d’Imperio, the wooden conical horns can be purchased in either solid Pennsylvania black walnut, cherry or ash.
The mid-range horn benefits from the cogent field coil compression driver, while the high frequency horn was cast by OMA, from aluminum.
The latest iteration boasts natural Pennsylvania ash, as well as had rubbed oil and way finish, allowing that much appreciated wooden natural light color to stand the test of time. The light colored sap wood was a bit difficult to work on, but the end result was well worth the effort.
The Imperia also comes with black wrinkle finish frames and black slate water jet cut grills for the twin bass modules, allowing it to be both stylish and functional. Custom internal wiring and newly designed harness, not to mention a modern circular rear compression chamber, will most surely deliver high-quality sounds no matter your preferences.
