o
66-element, parallel wire, stator electrodes (total of 132 electrode elements
per panel)
o
Unique panel construction and materials are immune to the effects of
wide and rapid temperature and humidity swings
o
Optimal sonic membrane material
Thickness less than 1/15th of a sheet of 20 lb paper -- lighter than
the air it is driving
Acts as a virtual air driver with force applied evenly over its whole
surface -- no breakup, no colroation
Properly damped, unlike see-through electrostatics
Introduces absolutely no midrange or treble coloration, and
distortion is far below audibility
Will not lose its tension or degrade over time
o
1.5 way tweeter/mid design controls horizontal dispersion and eliminates
electrical EQ network
•
Woofers
o
Standard: Two identical, 18 cm [7"], low mass, alloy cone, extra low
distortion, low inductance, high resolution drivers with dual short circuit
paths and heavy cast aluminum basket
o
HP: Two identical, 17 cm [6.5"], low mass, paper cone, low distortion,
low inductance, high resolution, high excursion drivers with neodymium
motor
o
Operate far below their breakup frequencies and their Xmax for
practically no cone coloration
o
Seamless acoustical integration with the ESL
o
Strong, accurate bass, not boomy dance club bass
o
Direct connection to amplifier conserves damping factor and maximizes
cone control
•
Enclosure
o
Sealed (acoustic suspension) for best woofer transient response, minimal
group delay, and best integration with ESL array
o
High mass, 25 mm [1”] thick, well damped, well braced walls for
negligible enclosure radiation
o
63 mm [2.5"] thick, solid hardwood baffle is maximally stable and rigid,
yet free of resonances
o
Baffle step is reduced with front edge scoops, which are also visually
interesting
o
Modest backward tilt maintains time alignment between drivers and
sharpens image
•
Plinth
o
63 mm [2.5"] thick
o
Solid hardwood standard
o
Choice of high durometer rubber feet or carpet spikes
•
Input
o
XLR
