All-Aluminum Dome Tweeters

and Diffusers NS-8HX Interior View

Both the shape and material used for dome tweeter diaphragms and diffusers were refined to improve speed and response. 30µm pure aluminum film was formed into a new dome shape and fitted with an all-aluminum diffuser for wide- ranging 50kHz sound reproduction capability.

Sound Absorber

As befits their status as a top-of- the-line home theater reference speaker systems, the HX Series is equipped with magnetically shielded cases that prevent interference with video components and signals.

Fully Independent Driver

Elements

Crosstalk distortion that can result from signal interference between coils, cables and drivers is kept to an absolute minimum by using fully independent direct crossover connections for low-, medium- and high-range driver elements. In addition, interference between speakers of the same diameter and range is reduced by using independent elements for each driver in center speaker and double woofer systems.

Direct Connections

The HX Series uses short lead wires and direct terminal connections for each component to minimize energy loss and reduce interference. This is in contrast to most other manufacturers, who use low-cost printed circuit boards that can degrade reproduction quality.

High-Quality Capacitors and Coils

The HX Series uses metallized polypropylene capacitors generally found only in top-of-the-line components and studio systems. This lowers the tan-

∂(delta) value that represents internal energy loss (dielectric loss), thereby enhancing accuracy, speed and depth. Magnetic linearity has also been improved; in the low range by using a large inductor with a rod-shaped silicon steel core, and in the high range by using an air-core inductor.

Heavy-Gauge Internal Wiring

Heavy-gauge, 0.014ohm/m cables are used for all internal wiring to keep energy loss to an absolute minimum.
