    Product Overview

    Product Overview

    Aluminum Magnesium Ceramic (AL-MAC™) Tweeter with Exclusive Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Tweeter Lens

    AL-MAC™ is our unique blend of Aluminum, Magnesium, and Ceramic materials; each of which contribute to the end goal of greater accuracy and realism. Their special properties contribute to the final product which is not only strong and lightweight, but embodies a natural anti-resonance to ensure the tweeter doesn’t just sound good “on paper” but truly sounds incredible in the real world.

    Aluminum Magnesium (AL-MAG™) Cones

    Similar to the goals we had in mind when developing the AL-MAC™ tweeter, AL-MAG™ was conceived to bring the same elevated level of performance to the area where our ears are the most sensitive. In addition, AL-MAG™ combines a high stiffness-to-mass ratio with superior internal damping for greater accuracy.

    Advanced Shock-Mount™ System

    Mechanically decouples the die-cast aluminum baskets from the specially formulate CARBON-X™ ingrained baffles reducing performance-robbing vibrations and resonance between the chassis and the acoustic platform. Without these resonances, all drivers are left free to deliver pure, unaltered sound with no audible distortion.

    Oversized, 1.5” High-Power Handling Voice Coil

    Motor structure dramatically increases maximum output level and reduces power compression.

    Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) Surrounds

    Made in-house and over-molded directly onto each cone, achieve greater excursion for a 3dB gain in distortion-free output (50% greater) compared to drivers with standard surrounds.

    FEA-Optimized Ultra Rigid Cast-Aluminum Baskets

    Feature integrated heat sinks for higher power handling, for better bass, better dynamics, and less power compression.

    Integrated Acoustic Back-Box Enclosure

    Safeguards internal parts from debris while preventing added sound ‘spillage’ to adjacent rooms. It also ensures consistent and reliable performance from application to application. (CI Elite LCR models only)

    Screen Compensation Mode

    Ensures true acoustic transparency when placed behind micro-perforated projection screens. (CI Elite LCR models only)

    Pocketed Screw Holes

    Helps to hold the drill steady, making installation a snap.

    Premium-Grade Components

    Include high-power rated resistors, capacitors and heavy gauge wire inductors.

    Nickel-Plated, Spring Loaded Binding Posts

    Features a larger wire hole to accept higher-gauge wire or banana plugs.

    Bezel-Free Micro-Perf Grilles

    Offers a clean aesthetic from room-to-room.

    Magnetically Attached Grilles

    Neodymium magnets hold grilles firmly in place.
