The "Window Shade" System

The outer grill has been carefully designed to offer the physical
protection required yet to have as minimal an acoustic impact as
possible. The open backed nature of the SUSVARA means that
physical protection of the driver inside is necessary but it creates
unwanted relfections. How do you stop the wave reflections from the
protective grill creating wave interference? The answer was found in
the careful crafting of the grill such that the secondary reflections
caused are exactly controlled to avoid any unwanted vibrations
reaching the delicate diaphragm. Thus the most detailed acoustic
subtleties can remain unhindered to offer a perfectly natural sense of
space and openness.
The "Window Shade" on the SUSVARA has been painstakingly
optimized to avoid any resonant frequencies. This leads to superior
aural purity, tonally clean and unadulterated yet provides practical
protection for the ultra-fine diaphragm and additional offering an
appealing visual aesthetic.
