Divin Lab

Divin Lab

Divin Lab is the flagship studio of Audio Exotics located in Ap Lei Chau (Southern Hong Kong).   It commenced operations in 2018.

Divin Lab Philosophy

One of the key goals of Divin Lab, is to recreate the realism and scale of a full-blown live orchestra.  

The listener would not be able to tell where the sound propagates from, with the reproduction coming across as a limitless canvas. Much of this is in exploiting the potential of the time alignment abilities of the specially commissioned Goebel Divin Majestic loudspeakers/2 x Divin Sovereign Subwoofers alongside Arya Audio’s Magnus Opus – Air Blade Signature (180 degree augmentation tweeter).

Here, any listener easily distinguishes differences in energy radiated from individual musical instruments with respect to their locales across the soundscape. Also, silence between musical notes is palpable, since ground noises are tackled by two cost-no-object Tripoint Elite NGs. The room is fully treated by Acoustics Grove System rendering a natural kind of silence akin to serenity of a forest.  AC noises are annihilated by 2 x JMF Audio PCD102 and a Cloud 9 AC conditioner by Pranawire.  Then, 2 x Vividus are deployed to resolved radio frequency noises.  Mechanical noises are tackled by SRA Craze 3 rack, Wellfloat Pegasus rack, Falkenohr 516 rack alongside numerous Arya Revopod, and 2 x Wellfloat Babel.  

Simply put, Divin is a soulful experience of the highest order.

The playback quality of Divin Lab is endorsed by acclaimed critics such as Alan Sircom of Hi Fi Plus, Roy Gregory of Audiobeat, and Lincoln Cheng of Audiotechnique.

I have no words to describe my feelings of this analog treasure.  What comes to mind is a poem. 

Silence is a space, a sacred place.  For in this space, I can see the beauty of life, pure and free. 

The language of silence knows no bounds. Its meaning is felt, its presence profound. 

For in silence, there is a way, to connect with our innermost soul. 

Chris Leung 

My deepest salute to Lee Dalby for his ingenuity to the service of musicality.

無言感激

我選擇了日本藝術家 ”早川克己”(Katsumi Hayakawa)的作品給予Aaron為今年的生日禮物。早川是畫「光」的能手,這幅名為《Signal 》的作品,設計概念原自他的香港演唱會其中一個造型。從他的欣悦反應,我估計早川的創作已觸動了他的藝術感知。

我也帶了兩本Capital雜誌,給他作為留念。如果沒有遇上他,AE的發展將會變得平淡。他為《御品》題字的一幅書法,一直掛在發跡的上環展示室內,以作策勉之用。他對我的啟發與鼓勵,成為了強大的精神支柱,增強了信心不停突破,走上一條新的路線,所以我一直心存無限感激。

昨天Aaron對我說:”Chris,今次這個封面,是你的一個里程碑,大家繼續互相勉勵。”

當我要求他在雜誌內的專題報道上簽個名時,我萬想不到,佢先拿了支筆給我,請我在他那本上,簽我的名字作為留念。

這一刻的感動,並非文字可以表達到。

The beautiful Jete record weight by Dalby Audio Design. It illuminates musicality naturally from any vinyl atop analog turntable.  Decaying harmonic tails are resolute, attacks are agile, textures are colourful, pacing is rhythmic, energy is radiant and presence is graceful.
