Turbine Head
The all-aluminum Turbine Head is a phenomenally stiff and inert housing for the crucial midrange cone, carefully damped to avoid unwanted resonances and decoupled from both the bass enclosure and the tweeter body. The result? The most realistic midrange sound yet.
Matrix™
Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond benefits from an upgraded Matrix design. Aluminum reinforced interlocking panels brace the speaker's cabinet walls in all directions, reducing resonance and creating a more believable soundstage.
