TECHNICAL DE S I G N FE AT U R E S
◆Silk Dome
The silk dome used in the AUDIOphile tweeter allows linear move- ment of the diaphragm and voice coil assembly. The linear movement or “symmetrical control” of the assembly provides smooth and well extended high frequency response.
THE RESULT: Smooth response for “audiophile” sound quality.
◆Neodymium Magnets
The high ionic compound of neodymium enables a smaller tweeter magnet assembly to be used as opposed to the much larger ferrite magnets that are commonly used in speaker manufacturing.
THE RESULT: An efficient magnet which allows smaller tweeter construction.
◆Magnetic Fluid Cooling
Magnetic fluid is a synthetic liquid consisting of microscopic mag- netic particles. The fluid has four times the thermal conductivity as air which makes it an ideal cooling agent. Magnetic fluid is injected into the voice coil gap which helps dissipate heat generated by the voice coil.
THE RESULT: A thermal conductor which allows increased power handling.
◆Swivel Mount Design
The tweeter is encapsulated in a variable swivel housing. This design allows direct dispersion of the tweeter in order to accommodate various mounting positions. The swivel mount design allows the tweeter to maximize its sonic potential.
THE RESULT: Precise tweeter imaging regardless of mounting position.
