We spent some time testing the latest round of prototypes for the Prologue - our upcoming 98% layout board.
These boards already sound and feel amazing with our new Crown Mounting System. Another round of updates still need to be made, but these are in a great place.
We can't wait to share more about Prologue this Summer.

A new Soft White top case for Encore.
This new e-coat finish was developed to run warmer than the cooler e-white we used before. It softens the whole palette, feels a little more at home, and pairs beautifully with the maple hardwood accent.

Our crowning achievement.
A year in the making. Countless sketches, prototypes, and refinements resulting in a top-mounted shoulder bolt with a wave spring, paired with a silicone spool and bushing, all working together for stability, responsive feel, and a cleaner sound.
Named after its design inspiration, the crown of a watch because it's the small details that change how the whole thing feels.
Introducing the Crown Mounting System (patent pending). Debuting on the updated Encore, and soon, the Prologue.
Watch the development story on our YouTube channel or read about it on our new blog page.
