∂ (delta) value that represents internal energy loss
(dielectric loss), thereby enhancing accuracy, speed
and depth. Magnetic linearity has also been
improved; in the low range by using a large inductor
with a rod-shaped silicon steel core, and in the high
range by using an air-core inductor.
Heavy-Gauge Internal Wiring
Heavy-gauge, 0.014ohm/m cables are used for all
internal wiring to keep energy loss to an absolute
minimum.
All-Aluminum Dome Tweeters
and Diffusers
Both the shape and material used
for dome tweeter diaphragms and
diffusers were refined to improve
speed and response. 30µm pure
aluminum film was formed into a
new dome shape and fitted with an
all-aluminum diffuser for wide-
ranging 50kHz sound reproduction
capability.
Magnetic Shielding
As befits their status as a top-of-
the-line home theater reference
speaker systems, the HX Series is
equipped with magnetically
shielded cases that prevent
interference with video
components and signals.

Fully Independent Driver
Elements
Crosstalk distortion that can result
from signal interference between
coils, cables and drivers is kept to
an absolute minimum by using fully
independent direct crossover
connections for low-, medium- and
high-range driver elements. In
addition, interference between
speakers of the same diameter
and range is reduced by using
independent elements for each driver in center
speaker and double woofer systems.
Direct Connections
The HX Series uses short lead wires and direct
terminal connections for each component to
minimize energy loss and reduce interference. This
is in contrast to most other manufacturers, who use
low-cost printed circuit boards that can degrade
reproduction quality.
High-Quality Capacitors and Coils
The HX Series uses metallized polypropylene
capacitors generally found only in top-of-the-line
components and studio systems. This lowers the tan-
