Features
Features
SoloKön™is an ultra high performance composite, which
remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic
distortion. The SoloKön™ 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 SoloKön™ with a
continuous contact perimeter weld, which offers unmatched
strength and resistance to deformation under pressure.
Increased Santoprene™Surround Radius allows
extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher
SPL. Santoprene™ is the next generation of surround material.
It offers unmatched UV protection and gives the SoloKön™
maximum EXmax™ (effective excursion) potential.
Stitched Surround adds a mechanical fastener to the
chemical adhesives. This duo prevents the cone and surround
from separating in the harshest conditions.
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.
Dual Ultra-Length Voice Coils sustain enormous cone
excursion and provide flexible impedance matching options.
High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents
thermal-electrical meltdown.
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.
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 multiple polymer-based strain-relieving mechanical
fasteners.
Spring-Loaded Nickel Plated Terminals flawlessly
connect medium to heavy gauge speaker wire to the sleeved
high-power tinsel lead wires.
