By applying such new techniques to planar loudspeaker
construction, Eminent Technology has been able to eliminate
many of the flaws inherent in earlier designs. The use of a welded
channel-and-crossbar frame dispenses with the need for
perforated sheet metal (an “off-the-shelf” material presumably
used for reasons of economy and ease of manufacture.) thus
greatly improving dispersion, especially at high frequencies.

Since it is now possible to have a powerful, precisely aligned
magnet structure on both sides of the diaphragm, true push-pull
operation has been achieved: Regardless of the degree of
excursion the diaphragm undergoes, the voice element is always
optimally positioned within the magnetic field. The result is
extremely linear performance throughout the audible range, with a
profound increase in dynamic range and an absolute minimum of
distortion.
