At home in virtually any enclosure arrangement – from sealed, to vented, to infinite baffle and bandpass – the Clarus range of subwoofers are going to impress even the most critical listener with speed and articulation, bottom-octave authority, with a total inductance profile that is not just low, but flat over stroke, frequency, and power. You’ll know how serious this driver is at first glance as you take in the cast frame and heavy-duty nickel-plated spring-loaded push terminals, but its proof will be upon first listen as the Clarus subwoofer does what it does best: articulating the nuances of your favorite recordings to effectively reproducing significant sound pressure levels.

Basket/Frame - The basket of the Hybrid Audio Clarus C10SW is a cast aluminum design with semi-gloss black powder coating. The frame includes spider venting for improved thermal power handling. The frame includes reverse-roll surround tooling proprietary to Hybrid Audio Technologies, allowing for close tolerance flush and iso-mounting for easy grille clearance and localization clearance.

Motor and Voice Coil - The motor of the Hybrid Audio Clarus C10SW Subwoofer is conventional dynamic with a large, high-grade ferrite magnet assembly with bumped and vented pole piece. The voice coil diameter for the four subwoofers is 51mm (2-inch) for elevated power handling, dissipation of heat (thereby lowering power compression), and maximizing the size of the magnet around the voice coil for enhanced motor compliance. The voice coil is a four-layer, high-purity aluminum, which is superior to copper for heat dissipation, as well as significantly reduced moving mass. The result is an extremely light weight winding, with low inductance and good power handling.

This rubber surround terminates mechanical vibrations well, having a low stiffness for positive damping of resonances. The spider material was chosen for optimal performance; the spider is a 90/10 cotton/Nomex blend with single-dip low viscosity phenolic. This material provides the stiffness desired without being overly brittle or stiff, where vibrations in the spider are well damped and do not translate into the former or the cone. The Clarus subwoofers are cone-type drivers consisting of a polypropylene diaphragm with low moving mass. Polypropylene provides a good balance of strength, moving mass, and water resistance, in the event the Clarus subwoofers are used in all-weather climates, such as motorcycle, ATV, golf cart, and marine uses. The tinsel leads are bonded directly to the former and brought out to the terminals, which keeps tinsel lead slap to a minimum and does not compromise the structural integrity of the cone.

Legatia tweeters offer flexible mounting options and provide hours of listening pleasure.

The L1V2 is ideal in 3-way front stages, while the L1 Pro is designed with a low resonance, ideal for 2-way use. The L1V2NH is an exceptionally small, housing-less version of the L1V2 with a mounting hole tapped and ready for install.

The Legatia L1 tweeter brings the phenomenal all-day sound quality our enthusiasts expect, with a 25mm silk diaphragm ensconced in a gorgeous aluminum housing, that finds itself at home in most any build.

Legatia Subwoofers are the next generation subwoofer building on the highly successful Clarus Subwoofer.

You’ll know how serious this driver is at first glance as you take in the cast frame and heavy-duty nickel-plated spring-loaded push terminals, but its proof will be upon first listen as the Legatia subwoofer does what it does best: articulating the nuances of your favorite recordings to effectively reproducing significant sound pressure levels. At home in virtually any enclosure arrangement – from sealed, to vented, to infinite baffle and bandpass – the Legatia range of subwoofers are going to impress even the most critical listener with speed and articulation, bottom-octave authority, with a total inductance profile that is not just low, but flat over stroke, frequency, and power.

When we set out to design a replacement for the venerable Clarus subwoofers, we knew the only way to go was to make them better performers, while keeping the same suggested price. The Legatia subs use the same frame as the Clarus subwoofers, providing for an easy upgrade potential (provided the deeper and/or wider motor structure can fit within the enclosure). The larger motor on the Legatia woofers provides both higher nominal and maximum (thermal) power handling and is one of the factors that allow for a longer linear ravel of the cone (Xmax) when comparing the Clarus and Legatia subwoofers.

It might be noted that many of the Legatia subwoofers have a slightly higher resonant frequency (Fs) by a few Hz, but this is likely to be negligible in many vehicles because of the effect of cabin gain. A higher Fs usually means a lower moving mass (Mms) in certain sizes. Building a speaker is a challenging compromise! Hybrid Audio has always believed in lower moving mass speakers – remembering our analogy of racing wheels and rotational mass – the lighter wheel, the faster it will spin with the same power. The lighter a speaker we can make the faster it will be with the same power. Simple as that. You will find that the Legatia subwoofer to be quite a bit faster on musical transients than its Clarus sibling. In the same vein, on a few models, we made a few adaptations to enclosure volume requirements by changing some of the Thiel/Small parameters to allow for more common sealed box uses. Finally, we have incorporated an 18-inch subwoofer into the line and there doesn’t seem more else to say than: “an 18-inch sound quality subwoofer?” Yep!

Legatia high-performance subwoofer. Available in 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18-inch versions, with either dual 2-ohm or dual 4-ohm options. Sold in each (1) quantity.

The Legatia X1 is a 58mm (2.3-inch) O.D. “low resonance” wide-bandwidth tweeter driver to compliment both two-way and three-way system designs, where a super high-end tweeter driver is required.

At the onset of the Legatia Pro-Series program, we wanted to be sure that the Pro-Series tweeter could be listened to for long listening sessions with no noticeable listener fatigue, and the X1 answered the call. The X1 is an advancement of the original Legatia L1 Pro R2 design.

Available in both brushed aluminum finish or black anodized.

The Legatia X1’s topology is an enhanced “ring radiator” version of the successful low-resonance Legatia L1 Pro R2. The purpose of the L1 R2 topology was to build upon the success and efficacy of the Legatia L1 Pro but to offer the driver in a radiator ring topology to further enhance on-axis and off-axis frequency response increased bandwidth, and lower modal distortion. The Legatia X1 is the culmination of an inordinate amount of time and resources spent testing and refining this product to the exacting specifications of Hybrid Audio Technologies and our long heritage of quality speakers. We are certain that this product will provide class-leading performance — that simply cannot be beaten by competing brands — if installed properly.

With respect to the diaphragm, the X1 has a slightly heavier moving mass than the L1 Pro (without negatively affecting transient response), which in turn has afforded more damping character. Nominal and thermal power handling has also been improved over the original L1 Pro R2 transducer; the X1 tweeter has a very high-power handling with proper filtering, and the X1 diaphragm is much less susceptible to mechanical deformation than other designs, and yet yields a smooth response over the extent of its range. The diaphragm is protected by a large open-space perforated metal grille that can be removed if desired.

The X1 has several unique features that ensure performance is superior to all other designs in this category. The ring radiator geometry is notorious for delivering a flat, extended response, but many radiator designs have suffered historically from a poor off-axis response. The main X1 criteria were to have a ring radiator that could work exceptionally well in a car environment, with an end-user’s choice of either on- or off-axis operation with a good polar response. The geometry of the waveguide was paramount to achieving this result and was the subject of a concerted effort by Hybrid Audio Technologies engineers. The waveguide is proprietary to Hybrid Audio Technologies and prevents phase cancellation for uniform frequency response and uniform polar radiation. The addition of the waveguide is also an improvement over a conventional dome tweeter design simply for the fact that the diaphragm is terminated not only at its edges, but also at the center of the diaphragm as well. This feature improves the damping of modal distortion and resonance. In concert with the waveguide is a treated fine cloth diaphragm to ensure smooth frequency response.

The tuned chamber of the X1 the key to the ability of the driver to faithfully reproduce low-octave tones with low distortion, should the end-user desire this type of topology. The X1 has a polypropylene tuned and damped chamber at the rear of the motor assembly; the chamber helps to reduce backwave distortion and significantly lower the tweeter’s resonance frequency to allow it to be used to play tones in the vocal spectrum. The tuned chamber is a proprietary design to Hybrid Audio; reduced distortion, low-octave authority, and greater dynamics are the immediate sonic benefits. The tuned chamber includes integrated push terminals, discussed later.

The motor assembly is conventional dynamic, with a high-grade Φ24.5 × 3.5 H NdFeB neodymium magnet structure to ensure a small footprint size and shallow depth. The result is the total profile of the motor as small as possible, enhancing acoustic performance, and aiding in mounting via small size and low weight. The X1 is one of the shallowest tuned chamber tweeters on the market and is even shallower than the L1 Pro R2 and L1 Pro.

The body and flange of the Legatia X1 is one-piece machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum (not poured or cast aluminum). The dense metal structure, lacking interstitial voids, helps reduce vibrations within the body of the tweeter to abate resonance and ensure effective reproduction of extremely low music tones. The X1 is a shared dimensional design with the Legatia Pro and the Legatia Pro SE and Pro R2 for easy upgrade potential. If you already own the L1 Pro or L1 Pro SE/R2, the X1 will drop right into place.

A machined aluminum Φ47.5mm knurled attachment nut at the base of the tweeter provides optimized clamping strength to the mounting media.

The mounting flange, only 3mm larger than the Legatia L1V2 tweeter, provides a solid-aluminum mounting surface for the tweeter without the necessity of mounting cups or external hardware. The overall dimensions of the driver are very amenable for use in the car audio environment, and in locations typical of the standard OEM tweeter mounting locations, as well as in custom locations, boasting a depth of just 23mm, 4.5mm shallower than the sibling L1 Pro R2 tweeter offering.

The X1 tweeter is available in two colors to ensure cosmetic integration with the vehicle’s surroundings: silver brushed aluminum and anodized black (there is no cost difference between the two colors) with gold-tinted copper phase plug and radiator ring.

The X1 includes an extruded polypropylene tuned chamber with integrated high-end nickel-plated spring-loaded push terminals at the rear of the tweeter’s motor assembly. The spring-loaded terminals give the end-user flexibility in direct connection with large-gauge tinned wiring, without the need for crimp terminals.

The Legatia X1 is the ideal multi-purpose super high-end speaker driver. The size of the device and its incredible off-axis ability are amenable to a variety of different installations and speaker locations. The size of the X1 allows it to be mounted in typical OEM and custom locations within a vehicle. At home in virtually any arrangement, the X1 boasts exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand with true high-fidelity playback.

Hybrid Audio Technologies latest addition to the Unity line up is the Hybrid Audio U3 3.7" Wide Band Midrange Driver. This cost-effective solution offers the opportunity for customers to benefit from the legendary quality of Hybrid Audio midrange speakers in the sub $200 price category.

The new Hybrid Audio U3 driver is a stand-alone driver that can be added into a component set for an affordable 3-way solution or can be used in conjunction with a midbass driver allowing for a near drop-in replacement for Dodge, Chrysler and Toyota owners looking for an affordable upgrade with minimal modifications.

The Hybrid Audio Unity U51-2 5.25” Component Set is a 2-way component set designed for the discerning consumer interested in a product between the Stage II Imagine and the Stage IV Clarus product lines. The Unity series is a melding of the best of the Imagine line with Clarus-level enhancements to make a budget-friendly high-end alternative; Hybrid Audio loosely calls the Unity line ‘Clarus Junior.’

The Hybrid Audio Unity U51-2 5.25” Component Set includes the best features of the Imagine-series components, including the same cast ABS frame, spider, and water-proof cone used in Imagine systems. Clarus-level enhancements include outboard crossovers containing high-quality, low tolerance polypropylene and electrolytic capacitors and air-core inductors, PTC tweeter power protection, and three steps of tweeter attenuation, encased in the Clarus competition crossovers housing with gold-plated screw terminals. Unity systems also utilize the exceptional Clarus C1 competition-grade tweeters for a step-up in performance over the Imagine tweeter offering.

The Hybrid Audio Unity U61-2c system contains speaker drivers with grilles and a tweeter passive crossover network that were developed and assembled with a significant effort in research and development, materials science engineering, an exhaustive level of sampling and prototyping, real-world testing, and obsessive attention to detail.

The Unity U61-2c updates and replaces the Imagine I61-2v2

The Hybrid Audio U69-2 combines the U69v2, U1 Tweeter and U2x Crossover for an unparalleled 6X9 Component Set. 

Attributes:

Unity U69 Midbass Frame Cast ABS plastic. The basket is a high-quality cast ABS design, which plays a critical role in aligning the voice coil in the magnetic circuit. Additionally, the cast ABS frame allows for better clamping strength verses typically stamped steel frames and ensures that the voice coil remains centered in the former. The midrange frame (Unity U3) is a proprietarily tooled design owned by Hybrid Audio Technologies, has no OEM industry equivalent, and shares common mounting hole diameter and similar mounting depths to the Legatia and Legatia SE three-inch midranges for potential/future upgrade potential. The midbass frame (Unity U5, Unity U6, and Unity U69) is a shared technology with the Imagine series coaxial and convertible component sets and allow for immediate upgrade potential due to identical size footprint, mounting depth, bolt circle diameter, and motor diameter as the Imagine convertible coaxial systems. Cone and Dust Cap Pressed paper with waterproof treatment. It is widely acknowledged that pressed paper cones are the best marriage of lightness, stiffness, and the ability of the cone to damp unwanted cone and edge modes and resonances (read: distortion). The paper cone, known for its excellent sonic attributes, is waterproof, thanks to a polymer developed exclusive and proprietarily by Hybrid Audio Technologies. The treatment does not change the look and parameters of the driver like old-fashioned “glossy” polymers which added an appreciable amount of moving mass and significantly colored the sound. No, the Unity cones look like any “normal” paper cone, but in reality, are likely the only high-performance waterproof paper cone car audio speaker systems on the market. The treatment protects the cone from periodic drips (such as inside a door panel), as well as accidental splashes to the front of the cone. Likewise, the paper dust cap is also treated for water resistance. The cone is a shared technology with the Imagine series coaxial and convertible component sets. On the hybrid-audio.com website, we have hosted a video of an actual water-proof demonstration of the Imagine I61-2, which uses the same cone as the Unity series, where we pour two liters of water over the driver, and then connect it to a musical source. That video may be viewed at http://hybrid-audio. com/imagine/ Surround Inverted high-loss rubber surround. The inverted high-loss rubber surround (in concert with the spider, detailed below), helps to provide the compliance and “restorative force” needed for the Unity drivers to play effectively into the lower midbass, and even upper sub-bass frequencies (depending on in-car cabin gain and other factors). You’ll also know a Hybrid Audio midrange and midbass design by its inverted surround; this design feature allows for the use of a smaller height grille, better clearance with OEM panels, and more flexibility in mounting options. The surround is a shared technology with the Imagine series coaxial and convertible component sets. Spider Phenolic fabric and tinned tinsel leads. The spider is the brownish/yellow corrugated (rippled) fabric that attaches the cone and voice coil. The spider for the Unity designs was the subject of a considerable amount of our research and development. The spider is a phenolic symmetrically-rolled fabric which provides excellent restorative force during the excursion. The spider is vented courteous of the speaker frame; a design element not typically found in this price range of speaker system. The spider venting increases the thermal power handling of the Unity midbass driver. The tinsel leads are connected to real epoxy PCB, not flimsy cardboard. The spider, tinsel leads, and terminals are shared technologies with the Imagine series coaxial and convertible component sets. Voice Coil and Motor System The voice coil used in the Unity midbass is a 2-layer aluminized copper wire coils on a round former. An “overhung” voice coil was selected to improve sensitivity while still keeping distortion to a minimum. The voice coil and motor system are shared technologies with the Imagine series coaxial and convertible component sets.

Tweeter Attributes:

Unity U1 Dome Small diameter impregnated silk textile dome with high-loss rubber suspension. The U1 is a shared technology with the high-end Clarus C1 tweeter, boasting has an impregnated fine cloth silk dome diaphragm for a linear, smooth sound, with a high-loss rubber suspension to damp edge modes and resonances. The dome is of extremely low mass and is much less susceptible to mechanical deformation than other designs, and yet yields a smooth response over the extent of its range. At Hybrid Audio Technologies, we feel larger diaphragm tweeters sound heavy and unremarkable, lack detail in the upper treble frequencies, have an undesirable polar response, and are difficult to install. Additionally, we find metal dome tweeters to be harsh, brittle and sound unrealistic. As a small diameter, soft-dome tweeter, the U1 is the antithesis of a large diaphragm and metal-dome tweeters, for the effective and convincing reproduction of treble frequencies. Voice Coil and Motor System 20mm complimentary design. The motor assembly is “conventional dynamic”, with a compact neodymium magnet structure to ensure a small footprint size and shallow depth. A perforated grille protects the dome. The voice coil is ferrofluid cooled and damped, and the tweeter housing consists of extruded plastic with three different mounting options in component set mode, giving the end-user flexibility in the not only placement of the U1 but also in the physical installation. Crossover Attributes Unity U2x Alignment Second-order L/R (12 dB/octave) filters for a low pass (U5, U6, or U69) and high pass (U1). The U51-2 2-way passive crossover network includes a unity low pass and a high pass crossover frequency of 5,700 Hz at 12 dB/ octave. The U61-2 and U69-2 2-way passive crossover network include a unity low pass and a high pass crossover frequency of 5,200 Hz at 12 dB/octave. The use of 12 dB/octave filters on both low pass and high pass, often not found in speakers in this price range, minimizes phase-related distortion typical of crossovers with mismatched orders, and ensures phase-coherent imaging and staging. The alignment topology is a shared technology to the high-end Clarus C2x crossover design and features asymmetrically-aligned network components. Network Components Audiophile grade. The passive crossover networks incorporate super high quality and low tolerance metalized polypropylene film capacitor for highpass, and a low-tolerance quality metalized electrolytic capacitor for low pass, in concert with air-core inductors, and low tolerance non-inductive resistors. No output level switches were used in the passive crossover design because switches add a resistive effect and are typical of extremely low quality. Additionally, “jumper pins” add an unnecessary pair of splices in the signal path to the tweeter, and were not included in our design either. Rather, all tweeter level adjustments are done on the board level with dedicated non-inductive resistors; tweeter attenuation is accomplished by selecting the appropriate output (-3 dB, 0 dB, or +3 dB) on the passive crossover circuit board. The components selected are complementary and ensure no notable signal degradation between the input and output side of the crossovers. The network componentry, design, circuitry, and polyethylene case with transparent cover are shared technologies to the Clarus series and the Clarus C2x crossover design.

The Hybrid Audio Unity U69-2c system consist of a 6x9" 2 way coaxial/convertible component set including grilles designed for the discerning consumer interested in more than just an ‘OEM replacement speaker.’

The Unity line-up has quickly become Hybrid Audio’s best-selling speaker, and a favorite amongst dealers and consumers because of its price to performance ratio. Unity easily outperforms sets costing twice to three times the price. In fact, Imagine was named “one of the top-11 best bargain speakers available” by Car Audio & Electronics Magazine in 2011.

Each Hybrid Audio Unity U69-2c kits include a pair of cast ABS frame midbass coaxials with water-proof paper cones proprietary to Hybrid Audio Technologies, high-energy ferrite magnets, 25mm soft-dome tweeters, component set conversion items (midbass phase plugs, tweeter cups and hardware, connection wire, and an extra set of magnet decals), integrated high-quality Mylar tweeter crossover capacitors.

The Unity U69-2c updates and replaces the Imagine I69-2v2

The Unity U69-S is a shallow-mount 2-Ohm option to the Unity U69V2 6x9-inch driver, and with a mounting depth of just 75mm is the shallowest high-performance 6x9-inch woofer of its kind.

The Unity speaker line offers an ideal solution to upgrade the speaker system in a vehicle having either 6x9-inch or 6.5-inch door speaker locations by including several outstanding midbass and midrange speaker options. The 6x9-inch Unity U69-S, featured here, is a high-performance driver designed to function as the door speaker in a 2-way or 3-way front stage, in conjunction with the various Unity midrange drivers, such as the all-new Unity U2, and optionally with the Unity U1 20mm tweeter.

The Legatia L3x topology is loosely based off of the Legatia L2x crossover topology, which was first released in October 2009. The L3x can be used for virtually any Legatia three-way passively crossed-over systems, or used in conjunction with other Hybrid Audio products to create a truly “bespoke” three-way system. The Legatia L3x was launched in June 2011 and is the reference three-way passive crossover in Hybrid Audio’s product category known collectively as the Legatia Series.

The Legatia L3x is an exceptional-quality three-way passive crossover device that can be used with any Hybrid Audio speaker system to accommodate any number of different bespoke system designs.

At home in virtually any arrangement, the L3x is Hybrid Audio Stage V high-end three-way passive crossover, boasting exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand with true high-fidelity playback.

This is a thermal protection device for Hybrid Audio Technologies tweeters. It is required when running any tweeter actively without the protection of the factory crossover on the Imagine, Clarus speakers or Legatia speakers. It is designed to protect the speakers from damage caused by turn on pops, misadjusted crossover frequencies or auto calibrating processors that deliver a signal beyond the frequency range of the tweeter. If you use the Imagine or Clarus speakers with their included crossovers these are not necessary.

These are required for approval to any warranty claim where a tweeter was damaged because of the above mentioned causes.

Includes: One pair (2 pcs) of tweeter protectors

The Legatia L2x is an exceptional-quality two-way passive crossover device that can be used with any Hybrid Audio speaker system to accommodate any number of different bespoke system designs. The L2x can be used for two-way passively crossed-over systems, or used as the two-way dividing network for midrange and treble drivers in a “quasi-active” three-way (six speaker) system, where the midbass is actively crossed-over at the amplifier. The L2x is based loosely off of the Clarus C2x crossover, with key enhancements, including the option for vertical bi-wiring, as well as an enhanced filter set using low-tolerance, super high-quality parts.

At home in virtually any arrangement, the L2x is Hybrid Audio Stage V high-end two-way passive crossover, boasting exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand with true high-fidelity playback.

Application to all 6.5" midbass (Clarus, Unity, Imagine, Mirus)

New for 2019, the revised The Stage 1 Mirus V line-up is comprised of dedicated coaxial kits for the cost-effective, OEM replacement market.

"We managed to get Hybrid Audio-level performance at this price point; the Mirus name is Latin for 'astonishing'; Hybrid Audio is sure that you will be astonished at how good an entry-level coaxial can truly sound (and look)."

Mirus V represents a radical departure from the norm for Hybrid Audio Technologies. As we set out to improve the already astonishingly-good Mirus range, special attention was paid to critical factors in the Mirus V price range: markedly improving sound pressure level and incorporating drop-dead gorgeous looks. Mirus V boasts carbon-fiber cones and titanium diaphragm tweeters that swivel, along with other features you’ve come to expect in a Hybrid Audio design: reverse-roll high-loss surrounds, powder-coated frames, and integrated low tolerance polypropylene crossover capacitors for the tweeters.
