[edit] Description
[edit] Product Summary
- Manufacturer: B&W
- Braced cabinet construction dramatically reduces cabinet resonance by adding the twin
virtues of strength and rigidity to the cabinet walls. Gold-plated terminals permit bi-wiring or bi-amplification.
- Having the tweeter separate from the main cabinet readily allows it to be set back and
time aligned with the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, which is located behind the plane of the front baffle, and minimises the effects of diffraction from the cabinet edges. This results in improved imaging and coherence.
[edit] Technical highlights
- B&W's Tweeter on top technology ensures that the sound remains focused
and time-sensitive and that the stereo image is presented with unparalleled three dimensional accuracy.
- Kevlar: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar for
loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally created Kevlar for use in bulletproof vests.
