1 Introduction
 
 
is the most technologically advanced high-energy transducer ever
created. Our focused research over a period of four years has produced a 
range of advancements in each aspect of loudspeaker performance. 
Proprietary conductors and magnetic technologies, as well as new 
techniques in cabinet construction, have been combined with the first 
implementation of full range neodymium driver motors, for the expressed 
purpose of empirical improvements in all aspects of energy transfer. In each 
facet of transducer refinement the Isis sets a new benchmark for lack of 
obscuring distortions of all types. The noise floor is lower, the transient 
response faster, the storage of stray energy less than ever before. Most 
importantly, the octave to octave energy balance is equivalent throughout 
the extended bandwidth envelope, developed without compression of any 
kind and yet critically damped, thus delivering a dynamic and spatial 
presentation that is absolutely faithful to the recording. The result is a large 
dynamic system that behaves like a small monitor, revealing the most subtle 
details of space and time combined with the ability to create explosive sound 
pressure contrasts. By creating and combining our own proprietary 
technologies, we have produced a rare and exclusive transducer that will set 
the empirical and musical standard of reference for many years to come.
