Perhaps the most distinctive piece of engineering on the THX center is the original 'free air' tweeter. Sitting in its own ultra-rigid, spherical, aluminum enclosure on top of the 113cm tall cabinets, the 25mm, silk-dome, Neodymium tweeter can be rotated to face ear axis, making room integration far easier. Free of unwanted diffractions due its shape, this tweeter technology delivers clear, transparent sound with optimum dispersion. A 16.5cm 'Crystal fibre' mid/bass driver use tightly woven fiberglass whose mechanical properties - light yet extremely stiff - delivers a linear and fast response, which a phase plug only enhances. Moreover, the form works with the surround to damp unwanted standing waves, so coloration is reduced to an absolute minimum. The magnetically shielded drivers are backed by heavy duty, powerful magnets, delivering exceptionally high efficiency levels. The cabinet is incredibly heavily braced at critical points to offer as acoustically dead an enclosure as possible. Such extensive strengthening of the cabinet panels maximizes the dynamic capability of the designs.
