D-260 1s not just another offispring of any existing model but an entirely new construction designated to be the basis of a new tweeter generation Proven Basics For more than 14 years the internationally acclaimed DYNAUDIO D-28 tweeter has been produced in ever increasing numbers and employed in the most renowned and expensive High End loud- speakers. Today there 1s no alternative technically as well as musically 10 a well tuned and optimized soll dome, Numerous new and exciting construction of tweeters have appeared during these past 14 years, but all of them have either disappeared or survive as exolic items only, The ESOTEC® 0-260 Is a soft dome. Aiming High A few years ago the ESOTAR® T-330 D was launched. It was soon recognized as a state-of-the-art item, which considerably upgraded the international standards for quality in high frequency trans ducers. The high price resuiting from lavish vse of material and labour made this driver out of reach for many potential cusiorners. The target now was to create a new product integrating both the know-how obtained with the T-330 D and ils outstanding properties in a unit within more popular price range New Record To reach this aim DYNAUDIO has invested considerably in both R & D and new tooling and machinery. This was the only way to reduce tolerances to an even lower level and still each a given price target On tooling and machinery alone for the ESOTEC” D-260 more than US $ 500,000 was spent before the first product came off the production line Rare Insight Ail components of this tweeter are | developed entirely trom scratch. The “s! cross section shows that great care ' has been given to every detail of he complicated inner construction Important Details Pole piece and back plate are made as one piece in a new process under very high pressure. Thus the precisely defined conical shape of the inner channel, which is of vital importance for the air flow area damping, is produced in one process. The back housing has been constructed to minimize any reflection by special shape and bracing. Also the pole plate is a new design. The dome with its bearing plate is centred on the pole plate by means of high-precision positioners. Heavy terminals are inte grated in the bearing piate. Even for the front plate of the unit a new die cast was developed. The production of the sott dome itself is not based on existing tools, but a new geometric shape was constructed in accordance with our undated know-how In Pace The experience with the ESOTEC® 7-330 D has impressively demonstrated the importance of the precise uniformity of drivers to the definition and imaging. Therefore all construction details are aimed at absolute uniformity of reproduction Optimized Absorption ‘Apart from generally known parameters. technical priority was given to the perfect damping of the backwarded energy. With other tweeters a more or less heavy part of the energy is reflected by the pole piece resulting in heavy distortion of ine transients. The internal labyrinth of the ESOTEC® D-260 absorbs all this energy. The plot of the MLSSA waterfall measurement shows clearly the ideal be- haviour. Inner Values All surfaces opposite the back of the dome are covered with absorbing materials. The centre-hole diameter of the pole piece increases towards the bottom piece. No parallel walls are found in the back. housing, which points conically into this hole. Different damping materials of defined density in the vent opening and in the back housing result in a graduated absorption close to 100% of the backwarded energy in the dome movement The Bottom Line: The Achievement The unique quality of this construction is not so easy to demonstrate through conventional measu rements of amplitude and frequency. Much more evidentis the measurement of energy/time response But most of the gains are evident in the musical qualities: resolution without any sharpness, dynamic without any aggressiveness are the outstanding qualities of the ESOTEC® 0-260.

The result is a very special shape of the vent in the pole piece where air turbulences as well as rellexions ara controlled now. Hard dome material of course is more easy to produce and to work with, but once a soft dome has been designed and cantrolled correctly the resulls ara superior due to lack of high resonance paaks. ‘The magnet system using heavy magnet rings is assembled with Inhouse tumed iron parts with lowest tolerances and the total construction is assembled under lab conditions.

Now some very sealed enclosure imporlant specifications got upgraded’ the cone is, a omer changed to polymer based ; mixture (PHA=phase homoge- neous area), enriched with ‘metal oxide particles for higher magnesium die cast damping and the geometric shape basket is revised for almost unmeasurable very high power distortion (See diagram h.d.) The handling magnet system is enlarged substan high BL-factor tially and allows now cone displacement rigid construction ‘of total 29 mm. The center venting is adjusted tropic proot accordingly. The highrated advantages as DTL vented long throw (dynamic transient linearity), HEXACOIL and system the rigid magnesium die cast frame remain unchanged hexacoil technique PHA cone material (phase homogeneaus area) With a STEP-FUNCTION datas about SPL and time scale are not important. A trained expert can compare sieptunctions made with even different scales. The cone steps up and creates a sound wave which meets a 1/4” B&K measuring ‘mic. The slope shown on the screen shows the amount of air moved. So with ‘wooters of same diameter the average of slope is the Same. If now rise and slope is set in relation to each other two stepfunctions can be compared. The right picture shows that the 21 W-54 has a rise time ten times as fast as normal spea- Kers of this size. TONE BURSTS Tone bursis are the best way to oblain an accurate picture of overall acoustic performance. Regrettably they ‘are mostly used only to lest rise-time and ringing - which shows much more clearly with a step funklion test? With a tone burst. all the moving parts ofa speaker can be loaded without burning the voice coil. Witha given frequency the SPL should be 3008 higher at 1000 W input when compared with a 1 W input, if the output is linear, This test shows the driver's ability to reproduce the transients without compression The right picture shows thal even a 1000 W input is not the limit: the dynamic response is absolutely linear. Dala given in catalogues (and even lest reports) normally are calculated figures and not © measuredvalues, This compression effect is either under-rated or ignored very often. Thal is why many speakers do not produce SPL's above 100 dB, in spile of higher theoretical speci fications However this test ‘exposes Such anomalies between calculations and actual measurements, DYNAUDIO’ fh coe te Parra Pe StI nn rant eo S09 mene: AMS tut 20 vse 100. ore PT sebaey Tobe 3 Y ay nay ows Balanced response up 10 4 kHz, imponant in 2way combinations Early fof and high ‘but narrow resonance impedance incicate high magnetic damping and energy.
