Jet black, timeless in appearance, noble and with perfect finish, these are properties of the piano lacquer we use. We've chosen deep black lacquer as standard finish for all our speaker models, it is the visual expression of the superior technical standard of our products. The coating consist of many layers applied in consecutive steps and is subject to a number of polishing processes at the end of which stands a very meticulous manual high gloss polish. Black piano lacquer belongs without any doubt in the champions' discipline of surface treatment and, we daresay, at these unique levels of quality and finish it is the sure winner.

A car is not just any car and piano lacquer is not just any piano lacquer. "By far the best lacquer I've ever seen" is a quotation that can be taken from almost every TIDAL test or review. That is the reward for the labour intensive polishing carried out with the unrivaled craftsmanship that is the product of experience. Indeed, TIDAL were the first manufacturer worldwide to present genuine piano lacquer as the standard finish for all models.

Lacquer alone accounts for up to 8 kg of a speaker's weight (Sunray). Not only does this result in clear acoustical advantages as a result of the associated lowering of the cabinet's resonance frequency and its increased acoustic density but, also, genuine piano lacquer can be considered an acquisition that will last a lifetime. In the same way, one can restore a piano and even after decades bring back its glorious high gloss, one can do the same with a TIDAL. With the micro-fiber cleaning cloth that comes with every speaker, it is actually quite easy to make the noble and yet very resistant surface shine and preserve its gloss over time.
