Santoprene Rubber Surround
The santoprene material is resilient to temperature variations and
provides a consistent support necessary for the linear motion of the
speaker cone. In addition, the inherent damping capabilities eliminates
the transmission of sonic disturbances between the cone and the frame
of the speaker. This greatly improves the clarity of the speaker's
frequency response.
THE RESULT: Improves speaker's frequency response.
◆
Flat Spider
The speaker's linear compliance is balanced through the use of a
“proprietary” flat spider design. A flat spider provides symmetrical
control of the voice coil through its cone excursion. Linear cone
excursion reduces harmonic distortion for improved sound quality.
THE RESULT: Reduces mechanical distortion for better sound quality.
◆
Powder Coat Finish
Powder coating has long been the industry standard for durability in
protective metal finishes. A dry powder (non-aerosol) is electrostati-
cally applied to the metal and “baked on to provide a hard “shell-like”
finish. As an additional benefit, powder coating is the only finishing
process that releases no toxic chemicals into our ozone.
THE RESULT: A durable and “earth friendly” metal finish.
◆
Inverted Dust Cap
The use of the inverted dust cap serves to increase the cone rigidity and
improve the power handling by forcing more air through the voice
coil.
THE RESULT: Increases cone rigidity, smooths frequency response
and prevents your friends from feeling obligated to invert them for you.
