A newly added acoustically damped rear chamber absorbs the back wave from the diaphragm, delivering even more spell-bindingly clear and sweetly extended high frequencies.

ELYSIAN R crossovers use silicon-iron cored coils for bass, air-core coils for midrange and treble, and polypropylene capacitors throughout the signal path, mounted on a newly designed direct-path PCB for the shortest possible signal route and coupled to the drive units with LC-OFC high-purity copper cabling, ensuring that you hear all the musical detail with nothing held back.

Its large, pleated diaphragm, now made from an ultra-lightweight PET material, is driven evenly across its surface by a precisely controlled magnetic system, moving air with exceptional speed and accuracy. A newly added acoustically damped rear chamber absorbs the back wave from the diaphragm, delivering even more spell-bindingly clear and sweetly extended high frequencies.

A high plasticity coat provides damping to suppress high-frequency resonance, paired with a low-damping, foamed rubber-like surround. Drive energy comes from a 25mm, two-layer voice coil fitted with an aluminium ring to control eddy currents and reduce distortion, mounted to a die-cast aluminium basket with ventilation windows for improved transient response. A specially shaped central phase plug linearises the output across a wide bandwidth, even well off-axis, for exceptionally natural sound throughout the room.
