Frequently asked questions

Which is better, electrostatic or cone drivers?
You don't have to be a rocket scientist or a physicist to see that electrostatic drivers are very light and
fast. In fact, the moving mass of an electrostatic panel is 1/30 the weight of a typical cone driver. For
instance, the moving mass of the entire sounding surface of a model 90i is approx. 1 gram. This makes
electrostatic drivers very fast in comparison with a lot of conventional designs. The result is obvious to
all who listen to them. If a driver is light and fast, it can easy follow the so-called musical signal's
'envelope'. So the rise time (attack) of percussive signals and the decay are very fast and natural. As a
result, an electrostatic driver will provide you with fast transients, greater clarity, detail, low level
resolution and a marvellous stereo imaging.
How does the Final system work?
In a Final electrostatic driver, a thin conductive film (diaphragm) is suspended between two perforated
"stator" assemblies. Spacers – the thin black lines that run down the surface – separate the film from
the metal stators. The stators are insulated with a special paint and power is supplied to them by a DC
(low voltage) source followed by a DC high voltage generator. The amplifier sends the audio signal via
a transformer to the diaphragm, which it makes move to the front plate when the audio signal is
positive and to the rear plate when it is negative. The moving diaphragm is coupled to the air and
sound waves will reach our ears.
Because all the sound emerges from one single diaphragm, the sound keeps it phase relationship,
resulting in a more realistic sound. Proper phase behaviour and the diaphragm's ability to follow the
music's waveform very accurate (due to the diaphragm's minimal weight), adds to the impression of
startling clarity, realism and a holographic imaging. Final electrostatic panels are also dipolar line
arrays. The sound is radiating to the front and to the back, but basically out of phase. The advantage is
