Driver Specifications

• 1” Diamond Coated Tweeter: Featuring an FEA-optimized Organic Cell Lattice Diffuser, this tweeter offers clear, airy highs. Advanced vapor-deposition techniques create a hyper-rigid diamond-like coating on the aluminum dome, extending high-frequency response and delivering exceptional fidelity, linearity, and transient response. Silver tinsel leads ensure optimal signal transfer and power handling.
• 4.5” Midrange Driver: Constructed with a composite glass-fiber cone for an excellent stiffness/mass ratio, this driver provides high sensitivity and precise pistonic behavior. The precision-cast aluminum-alloy basket ensures perfect alignment and superior thermal dissipation. The vented Kapton voice coil former enhances dynamics and transient response.
• 6.5” Woofers: Designed with a long-stroke motor and suspension for high output, these woofers feature composite glass-fiber cones for optimal stiffness/mass ratio. The aluminum alloy basket ensures precise component alignment and efficient thermal dissipation, while the vented aluminum voice coil former minimizes air compression artifacts at high drive levels.

Crossover & Cabinet Specifications

• Crossover: A 3-way crossover utilizing premium capacitors, inductors, resistors, and a heavy-trace printed circuit board. Tweeter-to-Midrange crossover at 2.2 kHz and Midrange-to-woofer crossover at 450 Hz.
• Cabinet: The time-aligned cabinet design introduces microsecond-level time delays between drivers, ensuring the effective-acoustic-center of each driver is equidistant from the listener. This results in improved linearity and directionality, creating a more accurate soundstage. The Vertically Aligned Tweeter-Midrange array ensures clear vocals and the largest possible sweet spot, delivering transparency and clarity at all listening positions. Dual 6.5” woofers provide deep, accurate bass, while the 4.5” midrange driver in a dedicated sub-enclosure ensures pristine midrange output. The chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction, enhancing both on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response. An extra-thick 1” driver baffle ensures a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers. FEA-optimized ¾” cabinet construction, extensive bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and uncolored sound even at high drive levels.
