10 Features
•
Advanced ultra-light weight ceramic driver diaphragm materials minimize energy
storage and time-domain distortion.
•
Each driver individually tested and matched for optimum performance.
•
Smooth, wide polar response for superlative imaging capabilities.
•
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.
•
Oversize screw terminals.
•
Careful crossover control of all magnetic field interaction.
•
Polypropylene capacitors used exclusively to minimize energy storage.
•
Proprietary damping circuits control each driver's electrical parameters, reducing
interaction with the amplifier.
•
Constrained-mode damping system absorbs cabinet vibrations.
•
Four inch thick front panel supplies acoustically inert wave-launch platform.
•
Acoustically-engineered grille assembly decreases edge diffraction effects.
•
Distinctive faceted cabinet design provides optimal polar characteristics.
