Der Hörknubbel®

Hörknubbel mounted at blue wall

The Hörknubbel is a handset of the latest generation. In addition to its elegantly timeless design, it offers high protection against vandalism and wear-phenomena that often accompany everyday museum and exhibition life. Operation and handling is considerably easy and straightforward so that truly every visitor is able to use it. Due to its clear design, the visitor intuitively holds the Hörknubbel to his or her ear and is immediately struck by a sound never experienced before. It is even possible to provide sound for smaller groups with only one single Hörknubbel.

Our engineers were careful to design a tool that can be used by one or more persons, since the compact case made of stainless steel and aluminium also feature a first-rate HiFi speaker with a maximum volume of 10 watt. The speaker allows a spectrum of frequencies that surpasses anything experienced so far. Thus, the optimized bass performance enables the authentic play-back of speakers with deep voices.

Needless to say that the Hörknubbel immediately reacts upon being picked up from its station and will start to automatically play-back the respective audio or video file. Mounting is implemented via a magnet and so that the device is thus not subject to wear and tear. Likewise, it is even possible to mount the station for overhead use.

A weak point of many competing products is the cable connecting the ear piece and station. The Hörknubbel, however, does not make any compromises: We use identically constructed armored cables that are also used for public phones by phone companies. This way we can guarantee an optimal degree of flexibility as well as breakage safety and buckling resistance. Additionally, the armored cable's slim design further enhances the Hörknubbel's aesthetic appeal. Also, it is not possible to remove the armored cables, as they are secured by covered screws that ensure any attempt to unfasten the cables.

The Hörknubbel is effectively secured against damage through improperly tuned amplifiers via an internally set protective circuit. This way, any kind of damage or destruction of the Hörknubbel due to overstressing is not possible. 

The Hörknubbel was built to last. More than anything, this objective is reflected in the material used and the way the Hörknubbel is constructed: all parts are made of stainless steel or aluminium. All visible screws feature coded safety caps. The speaker is protected by a specially developed stainless steel grid. Any kind of penetration of the 1 mm sound outlet holes through blunt objects is practically impossible. Likewise, the fine grid also protects the membrane of the speaker cone from dirt.

Our engineers are able to dismantle the Hörknubbel into its individual components within only a few minutes. Hence, we are able to quickly (and inexpensively) repair any kind of damages that might have occurred despite the high degree of protective measures that have been taken to secure the Hörknubbel. Parts stained with Graffiti can easily be cleaned and polished with an inexpensive fleece.
