To get round high-frequency

distortion and directivity

problems common to home

theatre speakers, we produced

a tweeter of a kind that no-one

has ever seen before. Driven

by an aluminium ribbon coil

and an oversized neodymium

motor structure, the new, larger

tweeter is one of the loudest in

existence.

Some of our most innovative technologies take

their inspiration from nature. For the body of our

Nautilus

speaker, for example, we created a

spiraling, conch-like form that drains away all

unwanted excess sound from the rear of the driver,

rather than letting it bounce noisily around inside

the cabinet. The result? Almost zero coloration

from the back of the speaker, and a much purer

sound from the front.

For the Custom Theatre range we’ve taken

this concept one step further. We replaced the

single, long tube with a whirl of tightly-packed,

smaller channels contained in a shallow cup, each

of which absorbs a portion of unwanted sound

energy from the back of the diaphragm. Even

at frequencies well beyond human hearing, this

tweeter sings like a bird.

You’ll rarely hear high frequencies captured

with such startling precision as you will with our

Custom Theatre speakers. That’s down to a radical

rethink in tweeter design, combined with the

clever adaptation of technologies ﬁrst introduced

in our most legendary hi ﬁ speaker to date: the

trailblazing, convention-defying Nautilus.
