DIATONE DS-8000N

Commentary

A large speaker system combining the DS 8000 with a variable network box.

In the DS 8000 n, OP 8000 nw, which was sold separately as an option in the DS 8000, is included as a dedicated network.
The OP-8000NW allows you to change three frequency bands, one for the tweeter low band, one for the mid-range low band and one for the mid-range high band, making it possible to use a total of 27 sound qualities.
By making the network box independent, adverse effects such as vibration and magnetic flux leakage from the unit are reduced. By using a strong box for the network platform, a clearer system is realized. The exterior is finished with a veneer, and the knob is made of solid wood.

In the low range, it is equipped with 38 cm cone type woofer following the technology of 2S-305.
The diaphragm is a newly developed pulp cone. It is designed to take advantage of the advantages of pulp cone such as light weight, good sound separation, large internal loss, and low natural sound. It is combined with a magnetic circuit with a gap magnetic flux density of 14,000 Gauss to enable large-scale low-frequency reproduction.

The mid-range is equipped with 16 cm cone type mid-range.
A lightweight aramid cross cone is used for the diaphragm. In this diaphragm, resin such as epoxy resin, which has been an obstacle to weight reduction, has been eliminated, and a new multi-layer structure has been adopted to achieve weight reduction. Moreover, the high internal loss of the aramid can be utilized, and natural sound is reduced.

A 5 cm cone type tweeter is installed in the high range.
B for this unit₄Uses C (Pure Boron) cone. Pure Boron is a material with excellent material properties that has high specific elasticity next to crystal diamond and also has moderate internal loss. It has a cone type structure that can set the lowest resonance frequency low, making the connection with the mid-range smooth.
In addition, a strong magnetic circuit with a gap magnetic flux density of more than 19,500 Gauss is used for the magnetic circuit, which realizes high resolution and beautiful granular sound.

The enclosure uses a bass reflex system.
The DS 8000 n uses a twin port system with a 100 mm diameter bass reflex port. By changing the length of each port, the port tube resonance and noise from the back of the woofer are reduced and an excellent S/N ratio is secured. The resonance frequency of the port is set as low as 38 Hz, which realizes low sound reproduction with a sense of power.
The exterior has a real wood veneer finish with oak for the baffle and walnut for the side plate. Solid walnut is also used for the grill frame.
