Fixed Phase Plug
Instead of a con-
ventional, heavy
dust cap, the
Signature Series
component
speakers employ
a fixed phase
plug. This reduces moving mass for better tran-
sient performance. It also helps direct sound
laterally, improving off-axis response.
Symmetrical Passive Crossover Network
At the heart of the Signature Series component
set are its passive crossover networks. The sym-
metrical design networks offer excellent phase
response for a coherent sound stage. They
employ high-quality components for smooth fre-
quency response and great power handling. The
networks also have three tweeter output level
selections to work in different system designs.
1” Titanium tweeter
Detail and accuracy in high frequencies is
achieved using a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter
and Neodynium magnet. A textile surround
damps resonance so the tweeters sound smooth
and detailed rather than harsh and aggressive.
The large dome design offers improve off-axis
response. Clarion provides both flush and surface
mount hardware with each component set.
Woven Tinsel Leads
To ensure the complete absence of mechanical
noise, Clarion has chosen to implement tinsel
leads that are woven into the spider.
Audiophile design and
performance
Raising sound reproduction standards
Signature Series component sets were designed
to offer discerning listeners the best possible
sound reproduction. The materials used in these
component sets represent the state-of-the-art in
terms of speaker design.
Composite Cone Design
The cone of any speaker must combine three
important criteria to achieve accurate music
production - mass, damping and rigidity. The
Composite Cone Design used on the Signature
Series speakers is essential to their incredible
performance. The cone is a sandwich of glass
fibre and a PMI (Polymethacrylimide) foam cone.
This cone is extremely low in mass, while being
rigid and well dampened at the same time.
Powder coated dampened aluminum basket
Providing a stable platform for the speaker to
work from is critical. The cast and powder coated
aluminum baskets used in the signature series
speakers feature a low resonance design and
incredible strength.
Rubber Surround
Signature Series speakers feature a rubber sur-
round for enhanced flexibility, low distortion and
reliability.
Chrome-Plated Terminals
The speaker terminals are chrome-plated push
on types with minimal contact resistance and
high transmission efficiency.
4-layer CCAW Voice Coil winding
Just like their big brothers, the Signature Series
components employ a four-layer Copper Clad
Aluminum Wire winding design. This design is
low in mass, but helps create an intense mag-
