MicroPerf Stator
Sleek. Compact. MicroPerf stator technology, featured in
all XStat™ transducers, reveals more open playable area
in each panel, offering increased performance from even
more compact stat panels. It is significant to note that the
XStat™ transducer in the radical new Ethos loudspeaker
supports the bandwidth and dynamics associated with
traditional electrostatic panels nearly twice its size.
Vacuum Bonding
To achieve the power, precision, and strength of the
XStat™ transducer, two insulated high-purity carbon steel
stators along with a proprietary plasma bonded diaphragm
and ClearSpar™ spacers are fused into a curved geometry
with an aerospace adhesive whose strength exceeds that
of welding. Our proprietary Vacuum Bonding process
guarantees uniform diaphragm tensioning and extremely
precise construction tolerances, resulting in unequivocal
precision, linearity and efficiency.
AirFrame™ Technology
Ultra-rigid extruded aerospace grade aluminum alloy
AirFrame™ technology rigidifies and secures the
XStat™ electrostatic panel to the woofer cabinet while
at the same time providing sonic and electrical isola-
tion. Advanced AirFrame™ technology maximizes the
electrostatic panels playable surface area and dipole dis-
persion pattern while minimizing potentially acoustically
destructive intermodulated distortion caused by spurious
vibrations and resonance. The result? Ultimate imaging
capability, low-level detail resolution, improved efficiency
and overall accuracy.
PoweredForce™ Bass Technology
Through integrated engineering of advanced amplification
and transducer designs, PoweredForce™ bass tech-
nology results in usable bass extension down to 34Hz,
immense bass dynamics and precision beyond the reach
of traditional massive box systems—all from an enclo-
sure not much larger than a case of wine! Additionally,
low-frequency equalization capabilities, integrated into
PoweredForce™ technology, allow precision calibration
for optimal room integration.
