Innovative, low-distortion drivers Coaxial/coplanar driver mounting for correct time response delivers full-range performance with vertical, horizontal, shelf, or stand placement.
The SCS4T and SCS4 each use a very low distortion, high output, metal diaphragm 6.5-inch woofer that is coaxially mounted with a 1-inch, high output metal dome tweeter, the same high performance tweeter that is used in THIEL’s flagship model CS3.7. The woofer's short coil/long gap, copper stabilized motor system greatly reduces distortion, and its reinforced metal diaphragm is specially shaped to reduce diffraction of the tweeter’s energy.
In addition, the unusual coaxial driver mounting allows great placement flexibility by ensuring that every listener hears the sound from both drivers at exactly the same time, regardless of where and in what orientation the speakers are placed (see diagram on right).
Because more than one speaker driver is involved in the reproduction of the several harmonics of any single sound, the drivers must be heard in unison to preserve the natural structure of the sound.
