The Alpair 12 is a large full range single cone drive unit (8 -
206mm frame). The primary feature is its extended and detailed range,
operating to 20kHz. The driver achieves this performance without using
a whizzer or co-axial centre tweeter making this driver a "purists"
single cone/cap design.
This driver incorporates a new cone multi-forming technology
originally developed in Japan. The cones and made using 7 separate
forming and trimming processes, all controlled via CNC operation. The
accuracy of this technology is superior to conventional spun and press
methods. Tadashi Matsubara San, a most experienced senior driver designer
from Japan has produced the rear suspension. It is unique and
exclusively made for the Alpair 12. Lui Yi Ping from Taiwan is a
specialist in front suspension design. He has produced the 7s
suspension as the most advanced of its type so far. Its ultra-thin,
and the production process for this component is all new. The same
exclusivity is also applied to the frame, coil, connectors, every part
for this driver is unique custom designed.
The acoustic result is remarkable for a large full range emitter, delivering outstanding clarity, detail and musical realism. Link to more info Link to plans Link to review in MJ magazine [Japan]
