TDX™
TECHNOLOGY
Thermal-Dyne
eXtreme™
is
a
fundamentally
different
solution.
The
concept
is
simple,
eliminate
the
detrimental
effects
of
heat
in
a
loudspeaker
system.
The
solution
however,
is
quite
complex.
Our
engineers
decided
to
start
with
a
fresh
sheet
of
paper
and
build
a
new
line
of
products
that
addressed
the
thermal
problems
and
shortcomings
of
conventional
designs
while
significantly
raising
the
existing
level
of
performance.
To
understand
TDX™
speaker
technology,
it
must
first
be
compared
to
that
of
a
conventional
speaker
design.
At
the
heart
of
every
speaker
is
a
permanent
magnet
motor
structure
that
provides
the
magnetic
energy,
or
force
to
move
the
voice
coil
back
and
forth
within
the
magnetic
air
gap.
Conven-
tional
speakers
use
a
large
ceramic
magnet
surrounding
the
voice
coil
that
actually
retains
heat
rather
than
dissipating
it.
TDXTM
motors
use
a
small
but
very
efficient
high
temperature
Neodymium
magnet
mounted
inside
the
voice
coil.
The.geometry,
venting
and
material
selection
for
the
motors
have
all
been
optimized
for
ideal
thermal
dissipation.
The
TDX™
thermal
efficiency
is
nearly
(5)
times
greater
than
conventional
designs.
In
conjunction
with
the
motor
design,
TDX™
Technology
utilizes
die-cast
aluminum
frame
structures
to
act
as
a
heat
sink
for
the
encapsulated
motor
structure.
To
insure
maximum
heat
transfer
from
the
encapsulated
motor
case
to
the
aluminum
frame,
a
special
thermal
paste
fills
any
surface
voids
that
may
be
present
in
this
mating
surface.
The
evolution
of
TDX™
Technology
can
be
seen
in
the
new
HEX™
Pro
series
of
products.
The
new
HEX™
Pro
component
systems
take
this
TDX™
Technology
and
expand
on
it
to
maximize
the
benefit
for
superior
full
spectrum
audio
performance.
To
faithfully
reproduce
an
extended
frequency
range,
the
materials
and
design
must
be
optimal.
This
coupled
with
a
demand
for
very
high
power
handling,
is
extremely
challenging.
These
systems
utilize
an
improved
version
of
our
legendary
HEX™
cone,
our
patented
dual-tuned
chamber
tweeter
along
with
our
extruded
aluminum,
high
power,
programmable
crossover
to
make
the
very
best
speaker
system
available
in
mobile
audio.
