FEATURES AND BENEFITS
THREE MODELS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PLASMA OR
OTHER FLAT-PANEL DISPLAYS
The largest model, the PHD60, is designed for use with plasma or other flat-panel displays of
60-inches or more. The PHD42 complements 42-inch and over displays, while the PHD30 works
with 30-inches or larger displays. Except for differences in the transducer complement and
performance, all three models feature similar technologies, For example: the PHD60 and 42 feature
a 3-way loudspeaker design, while the PHD30 features a 2-way design. All offer voice matching
sound quality and exceptional detail over a wide listening area.
5-1/4-INCH TCC WOOFERS WITH CONE-FORWARD™
DESIGN AND BUTYL-RUBBER SUSPENSION
The PHD60/42/30 features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded
polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers
extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Our patent-pending Cone
Forward™ design positions the woofer cone at the front of the baffle for natural-sounding bass
and clear, open midrange response. Additionally, the use of a butyl-rubber suspension offers
substantial benefits, including increased movement without mechanical limitations, and improved
midrange damping for better detail and clarity.
1-1/2-INCH FLUID-COOLED TETERON HYPERBOLIC-
DOME MIDRANGE DRIVER
The PHD60 and PHD42 also feature a Fluid-Cooled Teteron Hyperbolic-Dome Midrange Driver that
provides high sound pressures to reproduce critical mid frequencies with exceptional accuracy.
1-INCH FLUID-COOLED TETERON TRI-LAMINATE TWEETER
The PHD60/42/30’s Fluid-Cooled Teteron Tweeter employs a tri-laminate design consisting of
an inner textile layer, which forms the dome, a high damping layer to eliminate unwanted
resonances, and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The
result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended
frequency response.
