8000 Series - Speaker Systems
Elevated To Perfection
The 8000 Series can be considered the direct heir to the 7000 Series. The goal was to renew a variety of speakers in itself exceptional, with the help of the latest technologies and the use of the best materials available today, always with installation versatility in mind. Key to the development of this type of car speaker system was to build on their exceptional musicality. In the 8000 Series, every detail was treated with the utmost care, from the choice of materials, the forms, construction and finishing of the baskets, to the ventilation systems of the magnets and voice coils. We have improved what was thought to be difficult to improve and we strongly believe we have laid the foundation for a new series of exceptional car speakers.
8000 Series - Tweeters
Main Construction Features
• The large 28 mm diameter voice coil is the best compromise between the lightness of the standard 25 mm coil and the great power management of 32 mm coils. This perfect combination of power and lightness is necessary for a tweeter that must reproduce frequencies linearly and faithfully, even beyond the threshold of audibility. The voice coil uses an aluminum support to disperse the temperature better.
• Body made of 7000 aluminum alloy and brass, manufactured entirely by numerical control (CNC). This makes the structure very rigid with practically zero tolerances, yielding consistency of performance and maximum linearity of reproduction, free from any vibration and/or resonance.
• Torcon® soft dome, an exclusive Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) with high-performance fibers, offers superb heat resistance, low weight, and excellent self-damping, resulting in a resonance-free frequency response over the audible frequency range.
• N52 oversized, high-quality neodymium magnet. This “motor” guarantees a perfectly linear response and constant magnetic flux over the entire working range of the tweeter, assuring an extremely linear and neutral response both at low and high volumes. Furthermore, a pure copper ring was added to reduce harmonic distortions.
• A careful study supported by FEM analysis allowed us to design the metal parts of the magnet to maximize the flow exactly around the voice coil, and make it linear throughout its entire excursion. Ventilation is ensured by a large opening on the bottom, protected by a filter with calibrated holes. This solution also reduces the peak impedance to the resonance frequency, making the tweeter easier to interface with any passive crossovers.
8000 Series - Woofer
Main Construction Features
• Basket made of 7000 aluminum alloy manufactured entirely by numerical control (CNC). This makes the structure very rigid and with practically zero tolerances, yielding consistent performance and maximum energy transfer from the voice coil to the cone. Moreover, there’s an increase in efficiency in the low range and absence of resonances in the medium/high range (only with Limited Edition Speakers).
• Cone and dust cap made from unpressed paper, yielding the best compromise between damping and rigidity for an extremely natural sound without colorations or alterations. A water-repellent treatment also makes it suitable for applications in harsh environments.
• Oversized magnet. The high-quality magnet (Y-35) guarantees a surplus of energy, making the excursion peaks easily reproducible by this woofer. Even at high excursions, the coil works quietly in its magnetic field.
• A careful study supported by FEM analysis allowed us to design the metal parts of the magnet to maximize the flow exactly around the moving coil, and make it linear throughout its entire excursion. Ventilation is ensured by a large opening at the bottom, where its shape reduces turbulence noise to inaudible levels.
• The exclusively designed clamp accepts large gauge cables.
• The large diameter voice coil uses an aluminum support to disperse the temperature better. Furthermore, the entire voice coil is exposed to the outside air through large slits in the basket (protected by a dust filter).
