CROSSOVER
The new Reference Series responds even more
musically than its acclaimed predecessors by combining
design innovation with an exceptionally rigorous
approach to the specification of each component.
The crossovers, for example, are computer-modelled
to optimise amplitude and phase behaviour for the
smoothest possible integration.
Not only are
the crossover boards decoupled to isolate them
from cabinet wall vibration and to stabilise them
against the high acoustic pressures inside, but the
multi-board construction also eliminates crosstalk
between the different sections.
High saturation iron powder core inductors are
selected for bass sections, where large inductance
values and low resistance are required; air cored
inductors are used elsewhere for their superior
linearity. Similarly, there are high quality bipolar
capacitors for low frequencies, and very low loss
polypropylene capacitors for the upper ranges.
High power rated wire-wound resistors are
specified throughout to assure minimal
compression and maximum linearity.
Hidden away as they are, as much care has gone
into the design of these aspects as those that are
visible. And the difference is plain to hear.
