Tweeter
27 mm Seas Prestige High Definition aluminium/magnesium alloy dome tweeter with DXT® lens.
The compensation magnet increases the sensitivity and reduces the magnetic strayfield.
A fine mesh grid protects the diaphragm.
Stiff and stable rear chamber with optimal acoustic damping allows the tweeter to be
used with moderately low crossover frequencies.
This revolutionary DXT® tweeter addresses the major issues regarding directivity control in traditional loudspeaker designs. DXT® solves several well-know issues regarding; directivity control, off-axis response, integration with midrange units and baffle diffractions.Woofer
The Mid-Bass driver is 180 mm with a 39mm voice coil and has an injection moulded metal chassis.
New Curv cone, a woven polypropylene with excellent internal damping together with perfectly matched moving parts gives a smooth, extended frequency response.
Bumped back plate in the magnet system, together with the very long and light weight copper clad aluminium voice coil, allow extreme coil excursion with low distortion.
Heavy copper ring below the T-shaped pole piece will reduce non linear and modulation distortion.
Bullet shaped phase plug reduces compression due to temperature variations in the voice coil, avoids resonance problems which would occur in the volume between the dust cap and the pole piece and increases the long term power handling capacity.
Extremely stiff and stable injection moulded metal basket, keeps the critical components in perfect alignment.
Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider reduce sound reflection, air flow noise and cavity resonance to a minimum.

Build Time
We limit the number of units built in order to never compromise on our quality standards. Turn around time is generally a week but may be longer if parts are in short supply. We will let you know if there is a delay.
