Improved high-end extension
►
The low-pass filter in a standard crossover network is basically just a coiled conductive wire with an iron core
very similar to the design of a voice coil. When the inductance of the voice coil increases, it begins to filter out notes
at the top of the woofer’s frequency range. Our aluminum shorting ring eliminates these variations in inductance,
allowing the woofer to play as it was intended.

Decreased risk of overheating
►
In addition to the positive impact the shorting ring has on the subwoofer’s sound quality, it also acts as an effective
heat sink to carry heat away from the voice coil, which contributes to improved performance and durability.
If it’s so great, why don’t others use it?
Where we see an opportunity to build a better product, other manufacturers see an opportunity to maximize profits.
Shorting rings require additional materials and add complexity to the manufacturing process. Rather than skimp on the
shorting ring and make inferior woofers, we ultimately decided to create a masterpiece. The most experienced engi-
neering team in the industry has painstakingly designed our X-Series subwoofers, and we firmly believe that you will
hear the difference.
