Custom Drivers
Both the tweeter and bass driver have been custom
designed by Andrew Jones to deliver an exceptional audio
experience that can’t be delivered with typical
o-the-shelf parts.
Woven Aramid-Fiber Woofer
Woven aramid fiber oers a superior stiness-to-weight
ratio and damping over common polypropylene or paper
cones. The added strength allows more flexibility in design
to achieve a smoother, extended frequency response.
Deep-Spheroid Custom Waveguide
A custom-designed tweeter waveguide with a deep
spheroid profile is utilized to improve directivity control
and shield the tweeter wavefront from cabinet diraction.
Intricate Crossover
A custom seven-element crossover with audio-grade
components is implemented to ensure smooth transition
between the drivers.
