THE © DRIVE SYSTEM
The speaker cord and output relay are included in
the sensor circuit which starts at the speaker enclosure
terminals in the © drive system as shown in Fig. 4. It is
a new
approach
to control speaker cone vibrations,
which
it achieves ideally to improve sound quality by
preventing distortion.
Performance data obtained through test measure-
ments as shown in Fig. 5 and 6 show improved sound
reproduction
heretofore
unattainable
with
even
the
highest quality circuits. Thus, superior sound is assured
with
& drive, and
confirmed
by these
performance
data.

Distortion is 1/10 to 1/200th for £ drive as compared to conventionalcirive
throughout the jow to high frequency range.
