MORE ABOUT OUR NEW MODEL10d SPEAKER

what is new? 1) new aluminum bass driver 2) revised transmission line design

In our quest to produce even deeper, more dynamic, and more powerful bass, we now offer the Model 10d speaker system. This model uses a driver with an ultra powerful motor combined with a truly massive magnet structure and lightweight aluminum cone for incredible bass performance.
When this new driver is combined with a revised version of our transmission line technology, active digital crossovers, deep bass equalization, and the 900 watts of power available from our Magtech amplifier, the bass performance is truly State Of The Art.

• Extremely stiff and rigid aluminum cone gives tremendous bass precision. The cone and the long throw low loss rubber surround show no sign of the familiar cone edge resonance and distortion associated with soft cones.

• Lead-out wires symmetrically stitched to the spider to avoid resonances. Total suspension designed to assure stability for extreme excursions.
  2-layer, extremely long, high temperature voice coil wound on an fiberglass voice coil former gives a high power handling capacity.
  Cu-cap around the pole pieces reduce non linear and modulation distortion and increase overload margin.

• Extra large magnet system provides high efficiency and low Q.

• Extremely stiff and stable injection molded metal basket keeps the critical components in perfect alignment. Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider reduce sound reflection, air flow noise and cavity resonance to a minimum.

The digital crossover is just that -- a crossover. There is no amplifier built into it. So a Magtech amplifier is included as part of the speaker system to use on the woofers. The Magtech comes with either a black or silver face plate and matches the ESL amp so that you can have a matched pair if you wish.

The digital crossover is incredibly flexible and allows you to totally control all aspects of speaker performance. You can alter the crossover point (any frequency you wish), the crossover slopes (6 dB/octave to 48 dB/octave), the filter types (Butterworth, Bessel, or Linkwitz-Riley), the equalization of both the woofer and the ESL, the gains of all channels and of the equalization, the phasing, time delay, and even the time-alignment of the drivers. You can match the acoustics of your room and your personal taste better than with any other crossover. In short, you can get the speakers to sound any way you wish.

The digital crossover is really a small computer. It has a graphic screen on its faceplate that you can use to make adjustments and you can even plug it into a personal computer and make all adjustments from your computer.

Of course, the digital crossover comes from the factory completely programmed so that you can simply plug it in and the system will be operational. You do not have to make any adjustments. But it is nice to know that you can if you wish.

The digital crossover can be operated both balanced and unbalanced. So you can feed it a digital signal directly (such as from the digital output of a CD player) if you prefer doing so rather than feeding it an analog signal.

The digital crossover has superb specifications, with distortion less than 0.004%, S/N greater than 96 dB, and utterly flat frequency response. It operates at 24/96 (24 bit, 96 KHz sampling). So do not think that it degrades the sound because it is digital. It sounds perfectly transparent.

INCLUDED WITH THE MODEL 10 SPEAKERS (both c and d versions)

1) Includes Magtech Amplifier which matches the style of our ESL Amplifier and our new Pre Amplifier. Both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs are standard.

2) Includes Digital Electronic Crossover which allows you to completely control all aspects of crossover / speaker parameters.

This includes:

- Crossover Frequency

- Crossover Slope (up to 48dB per octave)

- Phasing - Equalization

- Filter Types (Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley)

- Various Gains

- Time Alignment

Crossover accepts both analog and digital inputs.

Crossover has front panel graphics display.

All functions are available from both the front panel or by attachment to a personal computer.

Voltage is user selectable for use world-wide.

Highly efficient operation permits the electronics to be left on continually without concern for electricity usage.

Speakers and Electronics are manufactured in Conifer, Colorado.
