Thermal-Dyne eXtreme
, a fundamentally different solution. The design concept of TDX
subwoofer technology was to start with a fresh sheet of paper and build a new product that
addressed all of the problems and shortcomings of conventional subwoofer designs while
significantly raising the existing level of performance. In today's market, a subwoofer should be
optimized for use in a relatively compact enclosure, should handle extreme levels of power, and
displace (or move) a large volume of air without any audible distortion. Conventional subwoofers,
with their dated materials and motor structures compromise several of these requirements.
The "fundamentally different" TDX
subwoofer technology meets all these requirements in
unequaled, elegant fashion. We say fundamentally different because the heart, the motor
structure, of this incredible device is unlike any existing motor today. Because of its superior
design, many of the problems that plague existing conventional subwoofers are eliminated.
To understand TDX
speaker technology, it must first be compared to that of a conventional
speaker design. At the heart of every speaker is a permanent magnet motor structure that
provides the magnetic energy, or force to move the voice coil back and forth within the magnetic
air gap. Conventional speakers use a large ceramic magnet surrounding the voice coil that
actually retains heat rather than dissipating it. TDX
motors use a small but very efficient high
temperature Neodymium magnet mounted inside the voice coil. The geometry, venting and
material selection for the motors have all been optimized for ideal thermal dissipation. The TDX
thermal efficiency is nearly (5) times greater than conventional designs. In conjunction with the
motor design, TDX
Technology utilizes die-cast aluminum frame structures to act as a heat sink
for the encapsulated motor structure. To insure maximum heat transfer from the encapsulated
motor case to the aluminum frame, a special thermal paste fills any surface voids that may
present in this mating surface.
In addition to this superior motor structure, the HEX
PRO subwoofer incorporates a dual
mirrored spider and NBR surround suspension system, and our patented HEX
cone technology.
The result is the most dynamic performing sub woofer in mobile electronics reaching the design
goal of audiophile sound quality performance, SPL capabilities, and continuing the Diamond Audio
tradition of providing the finest products available.
