1.2 Coherent Energy Transfer
Coherent energy is both an aspect of the absolute quantity of energy, and
also the speed with which that energy begins and ends. Entirely new
technologies in current transfer and in magnetic field energy storage within
the crossover maximizes the transient speed of the transducer, while
eliminating the ringing that can give recorded music a fatiguing and etched
quality.
Dynamic measurement techniques provide prediction of circuit behavior
under actual musical conditions. Through these techniques, current
saturation effects throughout the system are greatly reduced. Proper phasing
of elements within the crossover circuitry is now achievable. With these new
technical developments, the level of inter-driver jitter (mis-timing between
drivers) can be virtually eliminated.
The sonic results of this technology are stable, tightly focused images that
retain their position and harmonic structure, regardless of input intensity
(provided, of course, that the chain of amplification is able to deliver the
quantity of energy required with great speed). The most apparent benefit of
coherent energy transfer is in the rendering of bass information. Low
frequencies are delivered with a clarity that reveals the subtle harmonic
structure of pipe organ and bass guitar passages, while precise timing
provides a coherent temporal structure throughout the frequency spectrum.
