Meticulous Attention to Detail

The speaker drivers' design, materials, and meticulous engineering work in harmony to minimize distortion, ensuring that the sound remains clean and clear even at high volumes. By achieving low distortion, these speaker drivers provide an accurate representation of the original audio signal, allowing audiophiles to enjoy a true-to-life listening experience with exceptional clarity and precision. The Signature Series speaker drivers used rigorous Klippel testing throughout the design process, a state-of-the-art analysis method to provide optimal performance, consistency, and reliability by precisely measuring and optimizing the drivers' magnetic and mechanical properties.

Featuring the innovative use of aluminum shorting sleeves, our speakers deliver unmatched audio performance. These Faraday rings, expertly situated around the driver's pole piece, not only stabilize the magnetic field but also significantly reduce inductive distortion. The result? Consistent, high-quality sound in every note. Thanks to aluminum's superior conductivity, every audio signal is transmitted efficiently and without distortion.

Indexed Cone and Surround Junction

Diffraction caused by the abrupt edge of the surround is minimized by the use of an indexed junction. This design feature helps create a smooth transition between the cone and surround, resulting in improved frequency response while improving the rigidity of the cone further resulting in less cone distortion at high excursion.

Indexed_Cone

Vented Polyimide Former with CCA Voice Coil Wire and Elevated Spider Suspension

The polyimide voice coil formers provide excellent mechanical damping and a smoother frequency response, and the copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire reduces moving mass further enhancing the overall sound quality and increasing the efficiency of the speaker driver. An elevated spider and vented former increases airflow to the coils to keep the assembly running cool during long periods of use.

Concave Black Anodized Aluminum Cone

The aluminum construction of the cone is lightweight, rigid, and helps reduce distortion, contributing to a more accurate sound reproduction. The anodization process is optimized to contribute to the dampening of the cone and provides high aesthetic value to any speaker design.

Open Aluminum Cast Frame and CNC'd Stainless-Steel Badging

The aluminum cast frame keeps movement isolated to the diaphragm, increasing low frequency performance and providing additional thermal dissipation. Stainless-steel badging completes the sleek aesthetic of the Signature Series drivers providing a timeless visual appeal for every speaker designer.

Die Dayton Audio Signature-Serie wurde entwickelt, um Heimwerker-Lautsprecherdesignern Zugang zur Spitze der Lautsprechertechnologie zu dem von Dayton Audio erwarteten Preis zu ermöglichen. Ausgestattet mit einem offenen Aluminiumgusskorb, einer eloxierten Aluminiummembran und einem Polyimid-Träger bieten diese Treiber eine größeren Frequenzumfang bei unglaublich geringer Verzerrung. Spezifikationen: Nenndurchmesser: 8" Belastbarkeit (RMS): 100 Belastbarkeit (MAX): 200 Impedanz: 4Ω Frequenzgang: 40Hz-3000Hz Empfindlichkeit: 91,2 dB bei 2,83 V/1 m Schwingspulendurchmesser: 2" Maximale lineare Auslenkung: 6 mm Der gleichmäßige und erweiterte Frequenzgang dieser Dayton Audio-Lautsprecherchassis sorgt dafür, dass das gesamte Hörspektrum von den tiefsten Bassnoten bis zu den höchsten Mitteltonbereich präzise wiedergegeben wird. Dieser ausgewogene Frequenzgang sorgt für ein natürliches und intensives Hörerlebnis, sodass Sie jedes Detail und jede Nuance Ihrer Lieblingsmusik oder -filme hören können. Akribische Liebe zum Detail; Das Design, die Materialien und die sorgfältige Konstruktion der Lautsprechertreiber arbeiten harmonisch zusammen, um Verzerrungen zu minimieren und sicherzustellen, dass der Klang auch bei hohen Lautstärken sauber und klar bleibt. Durch die Erzielung einer geringen Verzerrung bieten diese Lautsprecherchassis eine genaue Darstellung des ursprünglichen Audiosignals, sodass Audiophile ein naturgetreues Hörerlebnis mit außergewöhnlicher Klarheit und Präzision genießen können. Die Lautsprecherchassis der Signature-Serie wurden während des gesamten Designprozesses strengen Klippel-Tests unterzogen, einer hochmodernen Analysemethode, um optimale Leistung, Konsistenz und Zuverlässigkeit durch präzise Messung und Optimierung der magnetischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Treiber zu gewährleisten. Invers Kalotten-Membran- und Sicken-Anschluss; Die durch die abrupte Kante der Einfassung verursachte Beugung wird durch die Verwendung einer indexierten Verbindung minimiert. Dieses Designmerkmal trägt dazu bei, einen sanften Übergang zwischen Konus und Sicke zu schaffen, was zu einem verbesserten Frequenzgang führt und gleichzeitig die Steifigkeit des Konus weiter verbessert, was zu einer geringeren Konusverzerrung bei hoher Auslenkung führt. Belüfteter Polyimid-Schwingspulenträger mit CCA-Schwingspulendraht und erhöhter Spinnenaufhängung. Der Polyimid-Schwingspulenkörper sorgt für eine hervorragende mechanische Dämpfung und einen gleichmäßigeren Frequenzgang, und der kupferkaschierte Aluminiumdraht (CCA) reduziert die bewegte Masse, was die Gesamtklangqualität weiter verbessert, und die Effizienz des Lautsprechertreibers erhöht. Eine erhöhte Spinne und ein belüfteter Schwingspulenträger erhöhen den Luftstrom zu den Spulen, um die Baugruppe bei längerem Gebrauch kühl zu halten. Konkaver (Invers), schwarz eloxierte Aluminiummembran; Die Aluminiumkonstruktion der Kugelsegment-membran ist leicht, steif und trägt zur Reduzierung von Verzerrungen bei, was zu einer genaueren Klangwiedergabe beiträgt. Der Eloxierungsprozess ist so optimiert, dass er zur Dämpfung der Membran beiträgt und jedem Lautsprecherdesign einen hohen ästhetischen Wert verleiht. Offener Aluminiumgusskorb und Edelstahlplakette; Der Aluminiumgusskorb hält die Bewegung isoliert von der Membran, erhöht die Leistung bei niedrigen Frequenzen und sorgt für zusätzliche Wärmeableitung. Die Edelstahlplakette vervollständigt die elegante Ästhetik der Treiber der Signature-Serie und bietet jedem Lautsprecherdesigner einen zeitlosen optischen Reiz.

Apart 180 HSBThe Apart 180 HBS, another offshoot from Thorsten Fischer's idea for the new Dayton Audio Chassis Series Signature. Theo Winterscheid and Thomas Ahlersmeyer were equally enthusiastic about the concept, so the development for the Apart 180 went to HiFi Selbstbau. Just like the choice of chassis, the housing concept and design were also adopted. In the development of the crossover, the ICY Medien team took their usual time and effort. The result is coherent, despite different developers of the series.The Apart180 is certainly the more mature version, no, fully grown. It powerfully delivers low tones and bass with authority and precision, transporting them deep and rumbling towards the ear canal. The tonal gene of the Signature series is also inherent in the SIG180-4, and its powerful bass capability is by no means all it offers. It delivers midrange with faithful color and homogeneity, perfectly suited to every music genre. The GRS PT2522C-4 ribbon tweeter shines with its large surface, stress-free, elegant, and detail-oriented. Additionally, it offers enough reserves for personal adaptation to room conditions, even in heavily dampened rooms, it can still illuminate tonally. The harmoniously lowest crossover frequency ensures seamless integration. Even in terms of macro dynamics, the Apart180HSB proves to have real resilience. The Apart180HSB fits seamlessly into the Apart series, thus complementing a range that has something suitable for every HiFi enthusiast. That it is also affordable is another convincing argument in our view.
