Avalon Acoustics AVALON ASCENDANT manual Features

electric bass will prove to be a consistent low-frequency source. The difference between direct injection and miking of the speaker/amplifier is easily audible with high-quality speakers.

10.Features

•Advanced light weight driver diaphragm materials minimize energy storage and time-domain distortion.

•Each driver individually tested and matched for optimum performance.

•Smooth, wide polar response for superlative imaging capabilities.

•Moderate impedance characteristic allows for ideal interface with any amplifier.

•Star-grounding techniques eliminate signal modulation.

•Crossover circuitry is hard-wired with surface-only conductors, eliminating deleterious sonic effects of printed-circuit boards.

•Easy to use binding post on back of speaker

•Careful crossover control of all magnetic field interaction.

•Proprietary magnetics technology increases energy transfer and reduces noise floor.

•Polypropylene capacitors used exclusively to minimize energy storage.

•Proprietary damping circuit controls the tweeter's electrical parameters, reducing interaction with the amplifier.

•Constrained-mode damping system absorbs cabinet vibrations.

•Three and one-quarter inch thick front panel supplies acoustically inert wave-launch platform.

•Acoustically-engineered grille assembly decreases edge diffraction effects.

•Distinctive faceted cabinet design provides optimal polar characteristics.
