In conventional woofer designs, high power signals with peaks up to and beyond 100V
create a wide variation in the magnetic field, disturbing the linear movement of the voice coil
and resulting in audible distortion. Unique DVX motor geometry greatly reduces these changes
in magnetic flux, reducing harmonic distortion up to 20dB. DVX frames are designed with
integrated Forced Air Voice Coil Cooling™. The movement of cone and voice coil forces air
inside the woofer, taking heat away from the voice coil and exhausting it out the rear vent. This
results in drastically cooler operation and reduced power compression, so DVX can provide
continuously higher output. The asymmetric suspension of DVX provides a perfectly harmonic
system, eliminating typical loudspeaker resonances that can cause audible sound coloration.
First used in the late ‘90s, this process of Ring-Mode Decoupling was designed into DVX
using advanced techniques. Computer modeled die cast frames are optimized to be rugged
and lightweight, while specially forged steel motor components provide higher sensitivity and
additional weight savings.
Offering an unprecedented level of sonic clarity, dynamic capability, very high output, and long-
term endurance and reliability, the amazing performance of DVX woofers needs to be heard to
be believed.
With every excursion, cool air is drawn
through the voice coil, removing heat. This
significantly reduces power compression,
resulting in higher long-term SPL.
