piece extension improves the L4SE’s performance and clarity by deflecting delicate midrange and
treble tones forward of the driver, while minimizing distortion and improving bandwidth.
The L4SE uses a copper shorting cup. The shorting cup consist of an optimally sized and placed
copper (Cu) cup to create a total inductance profile that is not just low, but flat over stroke, frequency,
and power. Inductance is the number one limiter of high frequency extension and modulation of
inductance with stroke, frequency and power, and is the primary source of intermodulation distortion
(IMD).
Tinsel Leads
The tinsel leads for the L4SE are terminated on one side of the voice coil. The tinsel leads are
stitched into the spider and bonded directly to the former and brought out to the terminals, which
completely eliminates tinsel lead slap and does not compromise the structural integrity of the cone.
Terminals
The Legatia L4SE comes equipped with heavy-duty nickel-plated spring-loaded push terminals for
both positive and negative, which is an enhancement over the L4 model. The terminals optimize
contact, and give the end user flexibility in tinned wire or binding post terminations.
Summary
The Legatia L4SE is the world’s finest multi-purpose super high-end speaker driver. Mechanical and
electrical parameters are amenable to a variety of different installations and speaker locations. This
driver is intended to be used in an infinite baffle configuration; a simple, solid baffle, solidly attached
to the car’s chassis with available airspace at the rear of the baffle is all that is required for optimum
operation. The size of the L4SE allows it to be mounted in typical “4-inch” midrange locations within a
vehicle, or in custom locations at the discretion of the end-user, as long as there is adequate airspace
behind the driver to allow it to maintain proper damping and acoustic suspension.
At home in virtually any arrangement, the L4SE is Hybrid Audio Technologies Legatia SE high-end
midrange offering, boasting exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand
with true high-fidelity playback.
