Subwoofers – Technologies
Signature Series Woofers
Clarion’s dedication to reproducing music as it
was originally played is taken to a new level with
the introduction of the Signature Series line of
speakers and Subwoofers. These products use
the latest technologies to produce music that is
dynamic, accurate and easy to listen to.
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 secret to their incredible per-
formance. 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 damped at the same time.
Rubber Surround
Signature Series speakers feature a rubber sur-
round for enhanced flexibility, low distortion and
reliability.
Powder coated damped 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.
Chrome-Plated Terminals
The speaker terminals are chrome-plated push
on types with minimal contact resistance and
high transmission efficiency.
3-Inch Aluminum Voice Coil
At the heart of the signature series woofers is a
black anodized 3-Inch diameter voice coil former.
This former helps wick heat away from the voice
coil winding for improved power handling. The
aluminum former doesn’t add significant mass to
the cone assembly, resulting in excellent dynamic
response.
4-layer CCAW Voice Coil winding
The Signature Series subwoofers employ a
four-layer Copper Clad Aluminum Wire winding
design. This dual voice coil design is low in mass,
but helps create an intense magnetic field, further
improving transient response.
Dual Spider Design
Because of the massive amounts of power that
the Signature Series subwoofer can handle, the
design require two spiders to be used to ensure
linear motion throughout the drivers range.
