After a year of negociations and a few months of pedal to the metal design and
fabrication - the long awaited Linear Motor Technology from TC Sounds has be-
come a production reality! I am very pleased to announce that SoundSplinter is
the first public distributor to carry this exciting new technology, and that these
drivers are impressive to say the least!
Featuring a massive custom-tooled linear voicecoil, these drivers come at you
with an RMS rating of 1000 watts, and should comfortably handle 2000 watts in
skilled hands. This driver is designed for the most extreme and discerning of
audio enthusiasts. If you don't have at least 800 watts to play with, consider our
Premium Series drivers which perform very capably with 400-800 watts!
With a sturdy tall rubber surround, rigid aluminum cone, super strong epoxy
glues, quad-stacked ceramic magnets, thick gap-plates, spring-action terminals,
and beautiful powder-coated high excursion basket, this driver is nearly bullet proof.
On top of all this, we have taken the time to perform custom in-house machining
on our motor's T-yolk in order to accomodate high quality copper shorting rings in
all Supreme series drivers. This process aids in reducing flux modulation, making
for even less distortion on a driver that is already as clean as it gets.
TC's Linear Motor Technology involves a revolutionary new voicecoil which
allows the driver to maintain a constant BL product (force) even at the extreme
high and low ends of its excursion capability. This innovative and unconventional
driver design will require us to let go of some generalizations that we draw from
various Thiele-Small parameters.
Consider the Qts of a conventional driver; While it may be around 4.0 in a free-air
parameter test, once inside a box and moving, it will likely raise to around 8.0
during full excursion. Linear Motor Technology allows the driver to maintain a
constant Qts and BL value, so while the BL parameter may be lower and the Qts
may be higher than in a traditional driver, we need to remember that we are
working with a whole new beast and cannot take these variances at face value.
Which, once you plug one of these bad boys in, I'm sure won't be a problem!
Put it all together with dual spider suspension incorporating woven lead-wires to
eliminate any possibility of tinsel-lead slap, a killer coil rated for 3.5 Ohm operation,
precision-machined parts, along with the expertise of the industry leaders at TC
Sounds, and you have a rock solid driver capable of true 3" peak-to-peak excursion,
with a one-way Xmax of just over 38mm
!
More information including T/S Parameters, enclosure recommendations, and
list prices will be made available, right here on SoundSolutionsAudio, within the
coming week. Anxious to get your hands on one? Contact us for ordering availability.
Waitlist members will be notified tomorrow and be allowed a one-week head start
