Commentary
The most compact 2-way speaker system in the Ti series.
A 16 cm special polypropylene cone woofer is mounted in the low range.
Based on polypropylene, special fillers greatly enhance the synthesis while maintaining the same internal loss as polypropylene.
It also uses a unique SFG magnetic circuit and a sturdy aluminum die-cast frame.
A 044 ti tweeter using a pure titanium diaphragm is mounted in the high frequency range.
The dome of 25 micron thickness has been realized by the unique technology of blowing the excess flow of high-pressure nitrogen gas. Excellent response has been obtained by combining the diamond edge pattern inspired by Japanese origami work and the reinforcing rib.
The enclosure is made of high density particle board with a natural cheek finish.
In addition, in order to prevent disturbance of response due to reflection at the grill frame, we have adopted a flooring grill using a unique floating structure.
