Driver
1″ Aluminum Dome Tweeter:
- FEA-optimized diffuser for airy and unveiled presentation
- Aluminum dome for exceptional transient response
4.5″ Midrange Driver:
- Polypropylene cone for excellent stiffness/mass ratio and pistonic behavior
- Aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and enhance high frequency response
- Cast ABS-fiberglass composite basket ensures precision component alignment and excellent thermal transfer
- Vented voice coil former minimizes air compression artifacts
Dual 6.5″ Woofers:
- Long stroke motor and suspension for high output
- Polypropylene cone for excellent stiffness/mass ratio and pistonic behavior
- Aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and enhance high frequency response
- Cast ABS-fiberglass composite basket ensures precision component alignment and excellent thermal transfer
- Vented voice coil former minimizes air compression artifacts
Crossover
- 3.5-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors and heavy-trace printed circuit boards
- Tapered woofer array optimizes the transition to the midrange driver and reduces vertical axis lobing
- Midrange-to-tweeter crossover: 2.1 kHz (12 dB/octave slopes)
- Top woofer (Combined Woofer) to midrange crossover frequency: 350 Hz (12 dB/octave slopes)
- Bottom woofer low pass frequency: 165 Hz (customized filter Q and slope)
Cabinet
- Separate sealed midrange enclosure shifts standing waves beyond the driver pass band, improving sound quality
- Separate woofer enclosures with optimized port tuning frequencies for smooth and accurate bass response
- Acoustically transparent and FEA optimized grilles minimize diffraction
- Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improved on-axis high frequency response
- FEA-optimized cabinet and bracing eliminates resonances
HiFiChoice “Recommended Products Award” Review: “A presentation that’s finely revealing, harmonically rich and rhythmically tight. The longer I listen to the Prime Tower, the more I appreciate its ability to walk the line between resolving detail and embracing the bigger picture. It’s a sound blueprint for long-term satisfaction.”
TheMasterSwitch Review: “Musical, with great articulation and detail. Felt wide and accommodating, with a very good spread of audio elements throughout the room. Dialogue was clear and precise. Sound effects had a pleasing snap to them. The highs felt detailed, with good dynamics. It’s the kind of sound we’d expect from speakers with another digit on the end.”
