For some time now, we have been exploring alternative ways of generating sound. To date, we have used various types of drivers to transfer electical signals into audible sound waves. This is the way speakers have worked since the beginning of recorded sound.
A few weeks ago, we conducted an experiement where we used the electromotive force of electrons to directly stimulate sound waves in the air. Since no drivers are required in this process, there is no driver-induced distortion.
Throughout time, speaker drivers have been the most inaccurate component in the sound system. By being able to eliminate the use of the drivers themselves, you eliminate the distortion added to the signal chain. The result is speakers with zero distortion and a totally flat frequency response.
That, of course, means that total system distortion is limited to the much lower distortion originating in the amplifier, pre-amp and source gear.
This new technology will completely up-end the speaker marketplace since all existing speaker technologies will be rendered obsolete. Thus, this is a cause for much celebration.
Have a great day...April 1st.
