Midrange driver
Woofer driver
Thiel & Partner, also called Accuton, is one of the
most famous manufactures of loudspeaker drivers.
XTZ Divine 100.49 uses T&P C173N-T6-90, one of
the best (if not the best) midrange driver in the
world and can only be found in extreme High End
loudspeakers.
T&P C173N-T6-90 is a ceramic driver with a light
cone, equipped with a neodymium magnet.
The driver is extremely stiff and at the same time
light, which contributes to the high sensitivity.
The two black dots are far from a design gimmick.
Thiel & Partner has put them there for a reason.
They suppress a resonance from the cone.
The Accuton driver offers the highest quality and
highest resolution; this is the reason that this driver
is put in the best speakers in the world.
As woofers we selected two aluminium 10" drivers
from the Norwegian company SEAS; which has
been producing drivers the last 60 years. It is with
this knowledge that Seas has built this driver.
The woofer has a cone, made out of pure
aluminium. The moulded metal basket is a "high
flow" type that is acoustically transparent and
offers high precision as the basket is shaped exactly
thanks to the moulding process. This makes sure
that the basket is very stable and efficiently reduces
resonances. The basket is absolutely none
magnetically, which contributes to a higher
efficiency of the driver.
A strong magnet combined with the light cone
yields a high efficiency and a good transient
response. Gold plated terminal reduces contact
resistance and serves as anti-corrosion.
Large windows in the basket both above and below
the spider reduces sound reflection, air flow noise
and cavity resonances.
