By creating a continuous curve profile, we’ve achieved excellent dispersion characteristics, well-controlled frequency response and seamless integration with the tweeter. Bass dynamics are improved, low-end control is superior, it’s more forgiving of room position too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMid\/bass Driver Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cone geometry of the C³ driver requires exceptional motor strength for optimal performance, so substantial magnets are coupled to the voice coils. The control exerted by the large magnets ensures superb dynamic response and headroom along with articulate bass presence. The magnets also reduce harmonic distortion, as they ensure near-saturation of the pole plate and yoke.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-frequency Driver Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on the tweeter design principle found in the Concept series, the high-frequency drive unit is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the baffle to prevent internal pressure modulations from within the cabinet and from the adjacent C³ driver. The inner chamber is vented for lower distortion, and has a lower crossover point for seamless integration throughout the crossover region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eP2P™ (Point to Point) Bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing used throughout the 3000c series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 3040c is, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes unwanted standing waves and colouration.
