Features
Plus One Woven-Glass-Fiber
Woofer Cones: The Plus One speakers use cones approximately 30% larger than
other speakers of the same size. This is accomplished by using a new basket
design and hi-roll surround. The Plus One design offers greater bass output and
a significant increase in efficiency. The woven-glass-fiber material is very light and extremely
stiff, minimizing cone flex. This results in very low distortion and improved
clarity.
Motor Structure: The new Kappas
use a Neodymium motor structure with an integrated heat sink. This design
provides a massive amount of energy while minimizing mounting depth and magnet
diameter. The integrated heat sink cools the motor structure efficiently, thus
increasing power handling while reducing distortion.
Emit Tweeter and MMD Dome
Midrange:
Each speaker has an Emit tweeter and an MMD (Metal Matrix Diaphragm) dome
midrange. The
benefit is increased power handling and reduced distortion at high output. This
technology also allows for better integration with the woofer. The tweeter has
an adjustable output level, +0 dB (flat) and +3 dB.
SLI High-Output Design: This
high output 2 ohm design extracts every watt from today's high
powered receivers and amplifiers, increasing overall system output and efficiency (relative to
4 ohm speakers).
Crossovers: Kappa speakers include computer-optimized, voice-matched crossovers,
using audiophile quality air core inductors and polypropylene capacitors.
Crossover Connections: Each
crossover has a 12" input lead terminated with bare wire and two 19"
output leads, one for the woofer and one for the tweeters, terminated with female
quick-slides. The female quick-slides connect to the male quick-slides on the
speaker. The positive terminal on the woofer input is 0.248" and
the negative is 0.191". The positive terminal on the tweeter input is 0.205"
and the negative is 0.111".
Crossover Dimensions:
L=4.265", W=2.076", H=1.215"
Bottom Mount: Spacer rings are
included to use when bottom mounting the speakers. The rings add about half an
inch to the flange height.
