I'm pretty sure your Harbeth will be SAM'd in the near future thanks to the new SAM lab.

Will the SAM Lab be the same process as they did in their Lab?

Will It be as good as full SAM?

Will Devialet stop taking in speakers for SAMing then?


Thanks

The new SAM lab is developed to make it able to SAM speakers on location and it is supposed to equal the original SAM processing. They miniaturized the gear needed for the SAM processing in a small box. Devialet is considering how they will organise the SAM processing on location. They mentioned 'events' at premium resellers. The real processing should be done by their own techniciens. You just bring in your LS and they do the job. It will cost about ten minutes per set. 

In this white Paper you will find all the information about SAM lab (from page 5 onwards):

Thanks again Charlemagne.

Is there any word on when they plan to start this?


BTW, have they now frozen the "vote for SAM" page?   Harbeth M40.1 has been stuck on 127 for over a week.  A friend just voted for them, but it didn't change from 127.

I had assumed that SAM was done in an anechoic chamber or similar. Won't SAM lab results be very room dependant?

No, they measure the LS itself electronically and the woofer excursions with lasers.

Curious!  So how does SAM Lab know how much bass the speaker is actually producing at any given frequency?

UPDATE..


I asked Devialet if they planned to SAM Harbeth M40.1 & offered to lend my pair. Didn't think they would, as I'm in UK. Thought they'd source a pair from a Paris dealer... So I was surprised when they said yes please. Collection was arranged immediately & they will go on Monday!


Have to say, Judith has been a real pleasure to deal with, as with all correspondence I've had with Devialet.
