So why does it work?
● Improved power delivery to the voice coil
► Any increase in inductance correlates to an increase in voice coil impedance, meaning increased resistance to
the input power. By preventing inductance rise, we effectively increase the amount of power carried to the voice
coil, increasing the output potential of the woofer with each given watt.
● Decreased inductive distortion
► When inductive energy is introduced into the motor structure, it causes the midwoofer to produce sounds and
artifacts at higher frequencies outside of the normal playback range. Our copper shorting sleeve absorbs these
changes in inductive energy, resulting in crisp, distortion-free sound.
● Improved cone linearity
► A great deal of care was taken during the research and development process to ensure that the movement of the
cone is as linear as possible. Since inductance is a change in magnetic energy, it’s easy to see how undesired
inductance can alter the movement of the cone. By using our shorting sleeve, we absorb these changes in
magnetic ux and prevent modulation of the cone resulting in tighter, more accurate mids.
