This special and exclusive component driver is a concept born way back in the 70’s. Its aim is to concentrate midrange and tweeter emissions in a single virtual point. This minimizes phase delays and irregularities at the crossover point (You can read more in The Phase page).
Both components use a very large neodymium motor magnet optimized with computer simulations (FEA) to obtain greater efficiency and improve linearity all along the voice coil’s excursion. The neodymium magnet is high grade type to eliminate magnetic losses at elevated temperatures and concentrating more force in less space.
Great attention was given to the ventilation of the two components through multiple axial ventilation holes. Residual resonance is neutralized by the dB Cloth® under dome damping material. This extends the frequency response to the lower limits and reduces harmonic distortion.
The high module carbon fiber domes with integrated soft cloth (tweeter) and synthetic foam (midrange) suspension offer superb heat resistance, low weight and excellent self-damping, with a natural and linear response and a very low frequency extension. The carbon fiber guarantees an extremely natural and linear reproduction with an excellent extension at the ends of the band.
Combined together, the two components are able to reproduce, with perfect linearity, the entire spectrum from 500Hz to 25KHz. Small permanent magnets fix the tweeter and midrange grill in the correct position and permit easy removal for customization.
