There’s nothing middling about this midrange.
Whether it’s the use of Kevlar
®
in the cone,
advanced FST
TM
technology, or a new and improved
motor system, we’ve stopped at nothing to make
sure this drive unit delivers unrivalled power, depth
and clarity.
The ideal drive unit is one that
works like a perfect piston:
moving back and forth on a
fixed axis with as little distortion
as possible. That’s exactly what
we’ve achieved with the Custom
Theatre midrange. The unit is
driven by an ultra high-strength
twin magnet motor system,
which gives the driver twice the
power of the standard version
while dramatically improving its
linearity.
Some things don’t change. It’s
been 30 years since B&W first
discovered that Kevlar
®
makes
for ideal midrange cone material,
snuffing out the concentric
standing waves that blur the
sound in conventional cones.
Lending support is our fixed
suspension transducer (FST
TM
for short), a ring of foam around
the cone’s edge that soaks up
bending waves and allows the
cone to move even more freely
and responsively.
