Summary of major flaws of the Sub Woofer:
• The woofer is fastened to and relies fundamentally upon the cabinet structure.
• The inefficiency of the woofer.
• The inaccuracy of the woofer components.
• The amplifier is housed in the same enclosure as all the high levels of energy being
produced by the system.
Summary of the major design elements of the Torus System:
The first and most important design element of the Torus solution is that it is not based upon the
Woofer and this is why it is not called a Subwoofer. By designing out the woofer, all the design flaws
that have been tolerated to date are eliminated at the beginning of the design.
THE CORE
As its name suggests, the Core is at the heart of the Torus design.
It is a formidable structural element of Brunelian proportions.
Weighing in at over 16 kg, the precision
combines with high energy Rare Earth magnets to create
motor / push pull drive.
The Core also provides a number of other important benefits that
are elaborated upon below:-
1. Converts electrical energy into kinetic energy.
2. High capacity metal sink conducts all structural borne resonant energy directly to ground with
zero reference to the outer enclosure.
3. High metal mass efficiently conducts all heat away from the coils.
4. Unlike in the Woofer where high hysteresis suspensions are axiomatic, the control of the
diaphragm in the Torus is achieved electrically. The two powerful motors subsequently waste
no energy overcoming these losses.
5. The combination of two high power motors, low mass moving parts, and low stiffness
suspensions, is quite unlike anything seen before, and enables a dynamic performance, and
level of control that is beyond the capabilities of any sub woofer.
