The transducers, horns and crossover networks are housed in a visually
stunning enclosure that is reminiscent of both the Hartsfield and Paragon
systems. The specially curved baffle provides the sidewalls for the main
horn. The top and bottom horn flares are accomplished by the attachment of
precision-molded SonoGlass
®
horn “lips” to the upper enclosure surface. The
UHF driver is mounted to a SonoGlass horn which is itself mounted to the back
of the die-cast aluminum housing.
The entire enclosure is constructed with 1-inch (25mm) MDF. The complex
bracing is used to precisely hold the curved panels in exactly the correct shape,
allowing exceptional fit and consistency.
The woofer baffle module is a six-sided shell, constituting an extremely rigid
and secure structure. A leather-covered outer baffle is then applied, giving
the total combined woofer baffle a thickness of 1-3/4 inch (45mm). The outer
baffle is removable to enable repair or replacement of the leather surface,
should that ever be necessary.
The system is ported on the rear with a tuning frequency of 34Hz. Two large
4-inch (100mm)-diameter flared ports are combined with the input connections
on a massive three-piece die-cast aluminum structure. The entire enclosure rests
on four stainless-steel foot assemblies. Stainless-steel coasters are included
to protect wood and tile floors from damage from the spike feet. The grille
assembly is constructed of MDF and uses a thick, perforated metal sheet, to
provide the curved shape. The grille is securely attached to the enclosure with
metal pins and rubber cups.
