EIGHTEEN SOUND
Technologies The philosophy of pure sound
AIC Active Impedance Control technology (AIC) consists of an additional voice coil permanently fixed on the pole

piece of the magnetic structure. The magnetic field generated by this secondary coil introduces many positive

effects starting from the linearization of impedance, as well as of the acoustic and electric phase. A significant
increase of sensitivity and total SPL, together with a total harmonic distortion reduction has been achieved.
