This paper describes some of the technical performance aspects, design
considerations and features of THIEL Coherent Source® loudspeaker systems. It is
intended to supply information for those who are interested in such matters. It is not
intended to imply that good measured technical performance is sufficient to
guarantee good sonic performance.

Page 3: Frequency Response
The major cause of nonuniform driver response is diaphragm resonances. These resonances are also the major energy storage mechanism. In THIEL products all driver diaphragms ( with the exception of the CS.5 woofer and the CS3.6 midrange) are constructed of anodized aluminum which provides much higher stiffness and compressive strength than conventional diaphragm materials. - Page 4 First, listeners may be located far from the optimum position and therefore will be hearing the speaker as it performs off-axis. Secondly, off-axis response is a measure of how uniform the total energy response of the speaker is. Since the total energy (in all...
- Page 5 (or speaker) position. PHASE RESPONSE We use the trade mark Coherent Source to describe the unusual technical performance of time and phase coherence which gives THIEL products the unusual ability to accurately reproduce musical waveforms.
- Page 6 In practice, none of these three conditions actually exist but all THIEL drivers incorporate refinements of design that greatly improve the accuracy of each of these factors.
- Page 7 To eliminate this problem all THIEL drivers (except the CS3.6 woofer) use an unusual short coil/long gap system where the coil is much shorter than the magnetic gap. Therefore, even when the coil moves a considerable distance from its rest position, it continues to be acted upon only by the uniform magnetic field in the air gap and does not experience the changes in magnetic field strength with position as in the conventional system.
