Driver Specs:

1” Aluminum Dome Tweeter:

• FEA-optimized diffuser for airy and unveiled presentation
• Aluminum dome delivers exceptional transient response and exceptional stiffness/mass ratio

6.5” Midrange Drivers:

• Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond pass band
• Aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and enhance high frequency response
• Cast aluminum basket to ensure precise alignment of critical components and additional heat-sinking capacity
• Vented voice coil former to minimize air compression artifacts at high drive levels

8” Woofers:

• Aluminum shorting rings to reduce gap inductance and lower distortion
• Long stroke motor and suspension for high output
• Vented voice coil formers to minimize air compression artifacts at high drive levels

Crossover Cabinet Specs:

Crossover:

• 3.5-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors and heavy-trace printed circuit boards
• Unique tapered midrange array miniimizes off-axis lobing and enhances radiated sound power into listening space
• Top midrange-to-tweeter crossover: 2 kHz
• Bottom midrange taper frequency: 700 Hz
• Dual midrange-to-woofer crossover: 160 Hz

Cabinet:

• Separate sealed midrange enclosures minimize top-to-bottom wall dimensions and shift standing waves beyond the driver pass band, minimizing negative driver interaction and associated frequency response degradation
• Non-parallel cabinet panels reduces axial standing waves within the cabinet, reducing frequency response coloration
• Acoustically transparent and FEA optimized grilles, wedge-shaped front baffle and flush-mounted drivers all contribute to reduced edge diffraction and improved on-axis high frequency response
• FEA-optimized bracing, 1" thick midrange/tweeter baffles and 1.5" thick woofer baffles eliminates structural resonances and ensures the cabinet remains acoustically inert for uncolored response even at the highest drive levels
