Features
Vacuum Formed Polymineral Cone with ISD ™
(Inverted Structural Dome) is a high performance
composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers
harmonic distortion. The Comp’s cone consists of a unique
one-piece material that moves as a light weight piston,
exhibiting power and control.
Rear Cone Brace integrates into the Comp’s cone with a
continuous contact perimeter weld, which offers unmatched
strength and resistance to deformation under pressure.
Double Stitched Surround adds a mechanical fastener to
the chemical adhesives. This duo prevents the cone and
surround from separating in the harshest conditions.
Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius allows
extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher
SPL, and couples the suspension into a conjoined
linear-motion body.
High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents
thermal-electrical meltdown.
Ultra-Length Voice Coil sustains enormous cone excursion
and provides extra heat dissipation.
Sleeved High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate
broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of
“insufficient-gauge” lead wires.
Spring-Loaded Nickel Plated Terminals flawlessly
connect medium to heavy gauge speaker wire to the
high-power tinsel lead wires.
Two-Piece Vented Hyper-Extended Blackened Pole
Piece and Backplate
1. Optimizes heat transfer efficiency for cooler operation
and maximum power handling ability.
2. Eliminates erratic magnetic flux from the voice-coil gap.
3. Releases pressure under the suspension for uniform
cone movement and responsive low bass.
4. Prevents the voice-coil from bottoming out and
corresponding damage.
New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly
utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open
design, and provides a solid foundation for the
precision-aligned motor assembly.
Perimeter Venting in the BAM relieves pressure from
under the spider, supports a linear excursion, and helps
dissipate heat from the voice coil and motor structure.
