Philosophy
"IT´S ONLY THE RESULT THAT COUNTS"
It´s only the result that counts - this seemingly simple product philosophy has been pursued by HECO for decades to ensure its prominent position at the forefront of German speaker development. The objective is to produce a perfectly balanced, transparent and dynamic sound.
HECO´s virtues: We spare no expense if we realise there is a potential for improvement - this goes for development, material quality and the use of technology. This has resulted in the continuous emergence of new concepts over the decades that have become milestones in the speaker industry. The fact that we continue to develop products with an unrivaled price-performance ratio despite this continuous development has been put in black and white by the trade press and our customers. We are proud of everything that HECO stands for - just like our customers.

Tradition & High-Tech
ALNICO-MIDRANGE DRIVER
The top-of-the range speaker „THE NEW STATEMTENT“ is equipped with an AlNiCo midrange - which is very important for the naturalness and precision of the midrange reproduction. The midrange is the crucial region in realizing the goal of a natural-sounding loudspeaker. The reason for this is the high degree of sensitivity of the human ear, particularly in the vocal range.The finest solution is a combination of a high-quality paper cone with an AlNiCo magnet. AlNiCo (Aluminium - Nickel - Cobalt) is a material that can carry extremely high magnetic field strengths and has a high temperature stability. Music lovers especially appreciate the repeatedly referred to acoustic advantages in terms of dynamics and resolution. However, the extremely high price and, in particular, the difficulties inherent in the production of consistent AlNiCo have been responsible for it not being widely used these days.
