13 Features
•
Application of new cabinet research features nineteen separate
aperiodically damped internal chambers in three distinct speaker
cabinets for superior resonance control.
•
Advanced light weight driver diaphragm materials minimize energy
storage and time-domain distortion.
•
High-definition tweeter and midrange have ultra-light concave
ceramic dome diaphragms.
•
Extremely stiff and light Nomex-Kelvar Woofer and Subwoofer cones
provide unmatched stiffness and high energy transient accuracy.
•
Each driver individually tested and matched for optimum
performance.
•
Moderate impedance characteristic allows for ideal interface with
any amplifier.
•
Star-grounding techniques eliminate signal modulation.
•
Crossover circuitry is hard-wired with surface-only conductors,
eliminating deleterious sonic effects of printed-circuit boards.
•
Exceptionally low noise, highly reactive induction technology reduces
inter-driver jitter, resulting in state-of-the-art micro-dynamics.
•
Direct harness wiring to drivers, with oversize barrier strips and screw
terminals at crossover connections for maximum signal transfer.
•
Crossover elements meticulously oriented to minimize interaction of
magnetic fields.
•
Polypropylene and coaxially wound polystyrene capacitors used
exclusively to minimize energy storage.
•
Newly developed proprietary damping circuits control each driver's
electrical parameters, reducing interaction with the amplifier.
•
Crossover circuitry housed in a rigid external enclosure, providing
maximum isolation from vibrations.
•
Constrained-mode damping in golden section laminations absorb
cabinet vibrations.
•
Six-inch thick front panel supplies acoustically inert wave-launch
platform.
•
Acoustically-engineered beveled anti-diffraction felts minimize
reflective and diffractive effects.
•
Distinctive faceted cabinet design provides optimal polar
characteristics.
