We know the higher the frequency the more likely beaming like a torch can occur. To overcome this we moved beyond the conventional forward firing super tweeter. The SuperTrax’s omnidirectional design radiates energy through 360 degrees, enveloping you in a sphere of coherent sound. This is made possible by our patented SuperTrax tractrix radiator with its revolutionary approach to sound dispersion.
Revealing Harmonic Detail
Every loudspeaker or audio device exhibits a low pass filter function and consequently acts as a frequency independent time delay in the pass band, otherwise known as a linear phase response.
To reduce the low frequency phase error, we would add a subwoofer, which does more than just add bass. It is this reduction of phase error that is one of the main benefits of a well integrated subwoofer. Music with no apparent bass content will sound more natural when this error is removed.
Likewise, the addition of a super tweeter, time aligned to the acoustic centre of the IsoFlare, will reduce the high frequency phase error by moving the low pass roll off point much higher. So even if we ignore for now the perception of sound above 20kHz, the addition of a super tweeter will better preserve the harmonic relationship between instruments and is apparent down to low frequencies. This is a very important fact which is not intuitive.
A Spectrum Beyond Hearing
Research reveals that musical instruments emit energy up to 50kHz and beyond frequencies once thought to be beyond our perception. Yet, research has shown that these ultrasonic tones do influence our auditory experience, even if they’re not directly audible. The SuperTrax captures this spectrum, ensuring you’re not just listening to music-you’re perceiving it.
The Revolution of TPCD
At the heart of the SuperTrax lies the Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm, a new type of dome material, allowing frequencies to reach up to 60kHz, before introducing a controlled break-up of sound. This enables a linear and extended frequency response without distortion, thus delivering sound with high accuracy as the artist intended.
