Features
Proprietary Aluminized Fiberglass Matrix cone woofers are the heart of the
Destination Audio CS100 & CS100C speakers. This special material is stiff,
lightweight, and has self-damping properties which helps provide a virtually
uncolored audio reproduction. These woofers have a powerful magnet that gives
them high excursion capabilities; this helps the CS100 & CS100C provide an
extended dynamics and frequency response not typically found in speakers of
their size. To avoid any interference with tube-type televisions and monitors, the
CS100C is video shielded using additional opposing magnets and steel cups to
cancel any stray magnetic fields.
High frequencies are handled by a high-quality nano-silk tweeter. This tweeter
uses liquid cooling to allow for greater power handling. This allows the tweeter to
last longer and provide accurate reproduction at the higher power output levels
today’s amplifier systems are capable of. The CS100C's tweeter’s magnet is
also shielded to prevent any stray magnetic fields from negatively affecting the
speaker’s environment.
Steep crossover network slopes are used to integrate the CS100 & CS100C’s
woofers and tweeters. The use of steep crossover slopes allows higher than
average power handling, minimizes the audio interaction between the drivers,
and maximizes the speaker’s overall clarity by allowing each driver to specialize
in its own respective frequency band. One component featured within the CS100
& CS100C’s crossover networks is a polyswitch. A polyswitch, or current-limiting
device, is used to prevent damage to the tweeter if the speaker is over-driven or
fed a distorted audio signal. This device operates 900% faster than a fuse and
self-resets when the volume level or amount of distortion is reduced.
The CS100 & CS100C enclosures have a narrow profile to minimize the impact
the cabinet has on the audio signal. The speakers virtually disappear, leaving
only a wide, deep sound stage with pinpoint imaging typical of much higher
priced speakers. A special damping material is also used inside the cabinet
to dampen the internal standing waves which helps these speakers provide a
true-to-life experience.
