Technical presentationCabinet design The box design with a narrow baffle and curvedside is not only an esthetical neat shape, but alsoprovides advantages in terms of acoustics, sincenon parallel walls suppress internal resonances ofthe cabinet.The cabinet is made from sturdy MDF board, whichoffers good sonic qualities.The cabinet is further strengthened with bars,which in total ensures a very stable construction.Tweeter driver We have selected a ribbon tweeter which providessuperior transient response and a very flat fre-quency response. The ribbon cone is super lightand only 18 microns thick. It is a sandwich con-struction made from rosin-aluminium-rosin thathas been hardened at 320 degrees Celsius.The magnet system is a 2 row high-efficient neody-mium magnets in a moulded chassis of ceramic car-bon steel.Fishbone shaped contactors in aluminium, resultsin a low connection resistance and good heat distri-bution.The driver has high power durability and handlesfrequencies up to 40000 Hz which makes it DVD-Audio and SACD-ready.Woofer/midrangedriverAfter evaluating a large number of drivers from dif-ferent manufacturers we selected one from Seas, acompany that has a solid reputation in the area ofhigh quality speaker drivers. You find Seas driversin many well-known High End speakers.For woofer/midrange we decided on a 6,5" mag-nesium driver from the Seas Excel series that haveextreme performance. We claim that finding a bet-ter 6,5" driver on the market is a very difficult task.The surface treated magnesium cone is extremelylight but still extremely stiff and effectively reducesresonances.The rubber surrounding makes sure that no edgeresonances are present.The moulded metal basket is a "high flow" type thatis acoustically transparent with high precision asthe basket is shaped exactly due to the mouldingprocess. This makes sure that the basket is verystable and efficiently reduces resonances. The bas-ket is absolutely non-magnetic, which contributesto a higher efficiency of the driver.A strong magnet combined with the light cone en-sures a high efficiency and a good transient re-sponse.Heavy copper rings mounted above and below theT-shaped pole piece reduce non linear- and modu-lation-distortion and increases the overload mar-gin.Page: 4
