Clarions dedication to producing products that
perform as impressively as they look.
The titanium coating features a brushed finish.
This not only improves the appearance of the
Phaze 1 speakers, but protects the petroleum
based polypropylene from breaking down due to
UV and Ozone exposure.
Metallized PEI Balanced-Drive Tweeter
Because of its superior physical properties that
result in clearer output, polyetherimide boasts
high rigidity, high durability and high resistance
to extreme heat. That’s why Clarion has outfit-
ted its Phaze 1 Balanced Drive Tweeters with an
integrated PEI diaphragm and voice coil bobbin,
which dramatically improves the dynamic range
of any sound system.
Phaze 1 Coaxials
Phaze 1 Coaxial speakers were developed for
integrating the sound sources of multi-way
speakers at a single point on the same axis. The
speakers have been designed so that the low and
midrange sounds from the woofer and the high
range sound from the tweeter have the phases
correctly aligned at the listening position. This
allows smooth frequency response over a wide
range and precise positioning of the sound field
with superior phase characteristics.
a high or low input level, the highly elastic rub-
ber surround allows Clarion’s speaker systems
to deliver smooth, well-balanced music with
expansive, low distortion sound over the entire
frequency.
The rubber surround also provides excellent
resistance to UV and moisture damage - this
provides extended longevity and reliability.
Rear-Vented Pole Piece
To prevent pressure from building up inside the
center cap, which can result in increased ampli-
tude distortion, an air vent is positioned to the
rear of the pole piece. This not only prevents the
voice coils from overheating, but also increases
the air output from the woofer duct, resulting in
a smooth cone movement. The increased airflow
through the motor assembly helps to keep the
magnet and voice cool. This reduces thermal
compression and increased speaker longevity.
Change Your OEM Speakers
for Improved System Sound
By replacing the factory speakers in your car with
Phaze 1 speakers, you can enjoy clearer sound
quality with added impact. Clarion’s woofers use
water-resistant and UV resistant mica-injected
polypropylene cones. Tweeters use a balanced-
drive PEI dome with superior high frequency
characteristics together with metallized PEI mid-
range cones for exceptional durability, excellent
frequency characteristics, and outstanding effi-
ciency.
Titanium Metallized Mica-Injected
Polypropylene Cone
Clarion Phase 1 speakers feature a Mica Injector
Polypropylene cone. This cone material offers
increased rigidity, damping and thermal stability
as compared to conventional cone designs. Even
when fielding fast transients, Phaze 1 speakers
generate superior dynamic response and crys-
tal clear sound. The process of adding minerals
