The Kharma Enigma Veyron system is the most advanced audio system in the world realizing the Holy Grail in High-end audio. To create a new level of sound quality and truly offer superior technology that would push the limits of current dynamic loudspeakers was not an easy task.
The loudspeaker cabinets are constructed from 100 mm thick Bulletwood panels. Although the construction is massive it is still very elegant. The speakers are decoupled from the surrounding by a minimum contact surface created with Carborundum balls placed on Diamonds. The combination of the hardness, shape and acoustical properties of the materials used, have realized the ultimate freedom of resonances.
The bass and midrange section of the Veyron are formed by the exclusive Kharma Omega F Drivers. The F stands for 0-Foucault currents, which is a novelty in the audio world, because for the first time no iron is used in the magnet motor-system, avoiding any interaction. Normally the voice coil induces a Foucault-current into the iron parts and that current induces back distortion into the driver-coil, which will distort the original signal by definition. This is now completely gone and the result is a higher resolution, more micro and macro dynamics, faster transients, more richer spectrum of tonal variations from the music itself, more natural, explosive and realistic sounding.

The Kharma Enigma Veyron system is designed as one superior audio set to realize the Holy Grail in High-end audio. Both the sonic performance as the aesthetics of the individual components are a match made in heaven.
The Enigma Veyron Subwoofer is the ultimate active subwoofer made by Kharma, which has been designed to both sonically as aesthetically match with the Enigma Veyron Loudspeakers and Enigma Veyron Amplifier, Pre-amplifier and Audio Rack.
This massive subwoofer is constructed of 4 centimetres thick Bulletwood and aluminium plates to form a solid base for the reproduction of an impressive tight bass. The bass is produced by a 15-inch subwoofer driver with a Composite Sandwich cone, specially developed by Kharma.

The Enigma Veyron Subwoofer consists out of modular levels, which can be stacked upon each other with a maximum of two levels in total. This restriction is required to limit the weight on the Diamond stands of the subwoofer. The bottom level of the subwoofer has a slight different dimension, because of the integration of floor protectors.
| Bottom level: | |
| Width: | 780 mm / 30.7 inch |
| Height: | 591 mm / 23.3 inch |
| Depth: | 687 mm / 27.0 inch |
| Top level: | |
| Width: | 780 mm / 30.7 inch |
| Height: | 540 mm / 21.3 inch |
| Depth: | 687 mm / 27.0 inch |
| Nett weight: | 210 kg / 463 lbs |
The subwoofer is executed with an integrated DSP or with an impressive external DSP module. This DSP can be controlled via an Apple iPad, which gives access to the tuning of many subwoofer parameters. A High-pass and low-pass filter is available with a Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley filter type. These can vary from 6 dB/Oct to 24 dB/Oct. Moreover, 5 individual Parametric Equalizer Points can be set to a Bell, Notch, Allpass, Low Shelf, High Shelf, Bandpass, High Pass or Low Pass. These can be set by frequency, gain and Q-factor. The DSP has 5 factory presets, which can be used for a quick reference, but also has the option to make multiple custom presets.
The Enigma Veyron Subwoofer can be delivered with an integrated DSP or with a dedicated Enigma Veyron DSP module. This DSP module is based on the Enigma Veyron Audio Rack. The DSP module is recommended when more than 2 subwoofers are used to support an Enigma Veyron Loudspeaker. This gives the advantage of tuning multiple subwoofers at once with a dedicated module that not only has a clear function but also has an impressive appearance.
The Enigma Veyron Amplifier is a unique class A / AB proprietary circuitry, which is built in the solid aluminium Enigma Veyron Audio Rack. The selection of an ultra-high grade power supply, double audio transformers and silver/gold internal wiring, makes this amplifier a perfect match with the ultra high-end Enigma Veyron loudspeaker.
The Enigma Veyron Amplifier is based on four centimetres thick aluminium plates and solid aluminium CNC machined pillars. All these aluminium parts are brushed and anodized in black, where the pillars are finished with Macassar and gold parts.
One of the unique specifications of the Enigma Veyron amplifier is that the power supply is abundantly dimensioned: it is capable of delivering 80 Amps of DC power continuously with a buffer of 120.000 micro Farad. This is exactly the same as required for the maximum peak output power delivered by the amp.

The Enigma Veyron Amplifier is based on the modular Enigma Veyron Audio Rack, which can be stacked upon each other with a maximum of three levels in total. This restriction is required to limit the weight on the Diamond stands of the audio rack. The bottom level of the Audio Rack has a slight different dimension, because of the integration of floor protectors.
