It features an under-hung magnet system were the voice coil is in the magnet gap all the time, resulting in a totally linear motor system. Together with the extremely open basket, this allows for air flow without any compression or turbulence which offers more micro details and lowers acoustic noise typically found in standard baskets. Built-in copper rings in the magnet system offers symmetric drive and lower voice coil inductance, which results in higher dynamics in the midrange while also suppressing intermodulation distortion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe long stroke, 184mm hard cone woofer with the same unique magnet system as the mid-woofer works harmoniously with the inner volume of both drivers to produce well-controlled, powerful bass down to 26Hz. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe advanced 25mm wide surround tweeter offers remarkable vocal reproduction and excellent imaging at all listening positions.
