FREQUENCIA “FAMILIAL” – RUE FAVART, PARIS VIOLET RAY SET​
​
Overview
This is a beautifully styled Frequencia “Familial” Violet Ray, produced in Paris and marked Rue Favart, a name closely associated with high-quality French electrical instruments of the period.
The visual presentation alone sets this unit apart — from the marble-effect control panel to the elegant typography and perfectly proportioned layout. It is unmistakably French in both form and philosophy.
Refined, expressive, and purposeful.
Control Layout & Output Character
The centrally mounted control dial allows for:
-
Smooth and progressive intensity adjustment
-
Excellent stability across low and mid ranges
-
Confident control without abrupt jumps
The electrical output is clean, lively, and visually expressive, particularly in clear glass. This unit responds immediately to adjustment, making it rewarding to use and easy to tune.
It has presence without aggression.
Electrode Set
The set includes a well-matched clear-glass electrode suite, covering:
-
Mushroom electrodes (multiple sizes)
-
Straight and curved anatomical electrodes
-
Forked / Y-style electrode
-
Comb / rake electrode
-
Long probe and specialty shapes
Each electrode contributes a different interaction profile, altering field density and discharge geometry. This is why complete sets like this matter — the system was designed to be modular.
Electrical Design Philosophy
Frequencia units reflect a classic European approach to high-frequency design:
-
High voltage
-
Extremely low current
-
Rapid oscillation
-
Dielectric coupling through glass
The visible glow is a byproduct. The real work happens in the electrical field interaction, shaped by electrode geometry and controlled output.
This is precision, not force.
Case & Presentation
The original case presents extremely well, featuring:
-
Deep blue velvet interior
-
Clearly marked electrode layout
-
Strong hinges and hardware
-
Excellent overall symmetry
Everything feels intentional and properly housed.
Final Word
This Frequencia Rue Favart “Familial” set is:
-
Complete
-
Distinctive
-
Properly restored
-
Visually striking
A standout French Violet Ray with real character — equally appealing to collectors, enthusiasts, and serious users who appreciate design, balance, and electrical nuance.
