| *Frequency response is from -3dB @ 31 Hz to well beyond 24,000 Hz.
*Efficiency is 87dB.
*Impedance is 8 Ohms, nominal. Minimum impedance is 6.3 Ohms.
*Tweeter: One 1" cloth dome with a large-diameter vent on its pole piece and a big aperiodic damping chamber which imitates an infinite baffle loading. The tweeter is manufactured on a special production line under laboratory conditions.
*Mid-bass: Two 6" polypropylene, double-magnet drivers, each with a 3" voice coil diameter. Extremely rigid structural physics and the piston-like action of these drivers produce exceptionally quick transients and a complete absence of coloration. These drivers are run full-range and placed in two independently tuned transmission lines which allow them to see the same pressure behind as in front. The very short transmission line lengths are the result of specific stuffing densities derived from the slowing effect of damping material on the speed of lower-frequency sound waves.
*Bass: Two 6" woofers in a dual-ported vented enclosure.
*Internal wiring is manufactured by Transparent Audio.
*The use of Single Cardas rhodium binding posts simplifies full optimization of the speaker. Because the full-range mid-bass drivers are connected directly to the input of the speaker, bi-wiring offers no added benefit
*The crossover for the tweeter is hard wired. We utilize Hovland MusiCaps and Vishay resistors.
*Damping material or stuffing is Acousta-Stuff, a nylon polymide loose bulk fiber that is tri-lobal (instead of round) and multi-directionally crimped so that the strands interlock to form a very cohesive mass that does not require support and will not settle.
*The grills are made of an extremely transparent material which is stretched over a thin steel frame. They attach via magnets which are buried under the surface laminate, allowing the speakers to look as finished with the grills on as with them off.
*Black Italian granite is utilized.
*The footprint is 10" X 18"; the height is 37 1/2".
*Net weight, per loudspeaker, is 210 pounds |
