a high-pressure injection moulding process to achieve different thicknesses at critical points of the cone geometry.
MMP® Mk2 provides better stiffness, consistency and tighter production tolerances resulting in superior sonic
performance.

C-CAM Tweeters
Advanced software simulation has allowed us to optimise the tweeter design, bringing higher sensitivity and a wider

C-CAM drivers
Developed over many years, C-CAM is used as a cone material for all high frequency drivers, and deployed for mid-
range and bass drivers in our mid-market and top-of-the-range CI and hi-fi speakers. Created originally by aerospace
engineers for jet-engine blades, Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium exhibits ideal acoustic properties, being
extremely strong but very light in weight. Conventional cone materials are liable to flex in operation, producing a
significant level of audible distortion.

RST
Our most refined technology, the RST cone surface is patterned with either concentric dimples or radial ridges, which
further reduces mass, increases stiffness and eliminates the bending associated with conventional metal cone
designs. The result is a smoother, more agile response, better control of break-up and a wider dynamic range. Not
only is RST employed by the Gold Signature range of hi-fi loudspeakers, but also the GS-CP in-ceiling and in-wall
models.
CP
No sound installation is ever the same. CP stands for Controlled Performance, because each CP in-ceiling or in-wall
product is fitted with its own rigid mineral filled enclosure allowing the acoustics to be optimised every time. This
ensures that its exceptional sound remains consistent wherever it is fitted.
High Frequency Switching [H.F]
Factory set to 0dB, this offers a sonic balance as the designer intended. However in environments with a high degree
of soft furnishings it may be desirable to lift the H.F level to the +3dB setting to achieve a neutral sonic balance. In a
minimalist environment it maybe necessary to drop the H.F level to -3dB position.
Mid Frequency Switching [M.F]
Factory set to 0dB, this offers a sonic balance as the designer intended. However in environments with a high degree
of soft furnishings it may be desirable to lift the M.F level to the +3dB setting to achieve a neutral sonic balance. In a
minimalist environment it maybe necessary to drop the M.F level to -3dB position.
