- Balanced Drive motor structure for optimal drive force symmetry resulting in largely reduced even order harmonic distortion
- Copper cap on center pole to reduce voice coil inductance and to minimize variations in voice coil inductance as a function of voice coil position
- Cone made of a new paper/glass fiber mix with improved consistency and stability
- Rigid die cast alu chassis with extensive venting for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
- Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
- Vented center pole with dual flares for reduced noise level at large cone excursions
- Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil former to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
- Large motor with 39 mm voice coil diameter for better control and power handling
- Built-in alu field-stabilizing ring for reduced distortion at high levels
- Low-loss suspension (high Qm) for better reproduction of details and dynamics
- Black motor parts for better heat transfer to the surrounding air
- Conex spider for better durability under extreme conditions
- Gold plated terminals to ensure long-term trouble free connection

Important!
Please observe that these text files for download are actual measurements of the drivers measured in infinite baffle and without any enclosure. Measuring the drivers in a finite baffle (like the baffle of most speaker cabinets) and in any size of enclosure will lead to different response curves.

Note 1
|
Measured in infinite baffle.
|
|
Note 2
|
Tested in free air (no cabinet).
|
|
Note 3
|
Measured using a semi-constant current source, nominal level 2 mA.
|
|
Note 4
|
Measured at 25 deg. C
|
|
Note 5
|
It is generally a rough simplification to assume that loudspeaker transducer voice coils exhibit the characteristics of an inductor. Instead it is a far more accurate approach to use the more advanced model often referred to as the “Wright empirical model”, also used in LEAP-4 as the TSL model (www.linearx.com), involving parameters Krm, Erm, Kxm, and Exm. This more accurate transducer model is described in a technical paper (PDF) here.
|
|
Note 6
|
After burn-in specifications are measured 12 hours after exiting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 10/14.1 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
