Moving large amounts of air in an instant demands a
large moving surface that small systems simply cannot
deliver, it is a matter of physics. The Torus exploits one
of the biggest diaphragms despite its petite dimensions.
The 18 inch diaphragm displaces huge volumes
instantaneously. There is no pumping or long throw
demands. Transients are handled with ease, giving rise
to the chest moving kick drum and attack that is quite
impossible with Sub Woofers. Rarefied and compressed air is generated in an instant, with even
small amounts of movement, not dissimilar to a drum! The most important effect is not the infrasonic
sound, but how all the sound is transformed in the principle loudspeakers. The Transient information
tells the ear everything about the instrument, and when it is reproduced accurately, the results are
totally different to what has been accepted from Subwoofers.
EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER
The passive design immediately frees the amplifier
of the severe low frequency energy distortions that
have been happily accepted by Sub Woofers
designers to date. Consider for a moment a world
where audiophiles pay small fortunes for isolation
systems to protect their equipment, yet happily
accept the same amplifier technology being
housed in the same enclosure, only millimetres
away from the ground shaking resonance's of the
sub Woofer! Absurd! In the Torus, the low
frequency structural borne energy developed by
the system has no link, except for cables to the amplifier. The Torus Amplifier enables both high and
low level inputs to be fixed independently for both Music and Cinema. This approach will also
provide for upgrades in the future, and of course the idea of multiple Torus systems for large set
ups, executable with ease.
