- Attractive, contemporary, sturdy steel grille assembly with fineperforations
- Unique MDT™ (Metal Diaphragm Technology):
- Solid, one-piece cone structure eliminates the traditional dust cap
- Extremely stable cone structure over extended periods
- Fast transmission of sound through the diaphragm means low energy storage
- Special hard anodizing process creates a ceramic surface for increasedstiffness
- Super-efficient thermal path for cooling the voice coil (not paper orplastic)
- High rigidity and low mass versus typical paper or plastic cones
- MLS™ (Magnetic Liquid Suspension):
- Magnetic liquid (Ferrofluid) injected into magnet gap
- Constant lubrication of the gap prevents oxidation from occurring
- Voice coil is most efficiently cooled by fluid path rather than air
- Lower distortion via stronger centering forces on voice coil
- Increased reliability, particularly in high power daily use systems
