Features
Features
Injection Molded Polymineral Cone with ISD
™
(Inverted Structural Dome) is a high performance
composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers
harmonic distortion. The CompVR’s cone consists of a unique
one-piece, aluminum vapor-deposit material that moves as a
light weight piston, exhibiting power and control.
Rear Cone Brace integrates into the CompVR’s cone with a
continuous contact perimeter weld, which offers unmatched
strength and resistance to deformation under pressure.
Double Stitched Surround adds a mechanical fastener to
the chemical adhesives. This duo prevents the cone and
surround from separating in the harshest conditions.
Optimized Santoprene Ribbed Surround Radius
allows extended cone excursion for additional bass output and
higher SPL, and couples the suspension into a conjoined
linear-motion body.
High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents
thermal-electrical meltdown.
Dual Ultra-Length Voice Coils sustain enormous cone
excursion and provide flexible impedance matching options.
Sleeved High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate
broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of
“insufficient-gauge” lead wires. The lead wires are terminated
with polymer-based strain-relieving mechanical fasteners.
Spring-Loaded Nickel Plated Terminals flawlessly
connect medium to heavy gauge speaker wire to the
high-power tinsel lead wires.
One-Piece Uniplate™with Vented Hyper-Extended
Pole Piece and Backplate
1. Optimizes heat transfer efficiency for cooler operation
and maximum power handling ability.
2. Eliminates erratic magnetic flux from the voice-coil gap.
3. Releases pressure under the suspension for uniform
cone movement and responsive low bass.
4. Prevents the voice-coil from bottoming out and
corresponding damage.
New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly
utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open
design, and provides a solid foundation for the
precision-aligned motor assembly.
Perimeter Venting in the BAM relieves pressure from
under the spider, supports a linear excursion, and helps
dissipate heat from the voice coil and motor structure.
