We have been using MSP Magnesium Silicon Polypropylene for probably for nearly 40 years. We have experimented with other materials.
Udo and Stephen, they point out that we have been using MSP for quite a long time and they asked for why haven’t we tried or experimented with other materials.Īndreas: Sure. That is why we need to - dig into the new ways of achieving best possible sound.Ĭhristopher: The next question is about the materials that we use for our drivers. Improving them to a point where we cannot really push them any further. And we have been using the large voice coils for nearly 40 years. What are those? -of using the smaller…Īndreas: It is we can achieve the same resonance frequency with the smaller voice coil but with longer winding height so it is a matter of pulling in your parameters and we have found the right optimum.Ĭhristopher: And I guess a lot of this is because we have continuously become smarter and by using these new tools that you have talked about.Īndreas: Sure, sure. Optimal bass performance.Ĭhristopher: And the benefits beside optimal bass performance. We would like to improve our bass performance and to improve your bass you need longer winding height and in order to gain that we have used outside magnets instead of the inside magnets and we increase winding height and hence we increase the period of – the amount of time that the voice coil is within the strong magnetic field in the magnet system so we can actually get better bass performance. But we have found the right optimum.Ĭhristopher: Can you comment on why we are moving toward that smaller voice coil?Īndreas: Sure. So it is not like we are going from 3 inch to 1 inch or even smaller then that. And now we have, through console simulations, achieved optimum performance with just a slightly smaller voice coil. We have correctly been using large voice coils with aluminium wire. And they pointed out that in the past we have had rather large voice coils and now we are moving towards smaller voice coils. So let’s get started with the first question.Īndreas, Neil and Uwe, they have asked us about our voice coils. Mainly for the automotive industry but also for home.Ĭhristopher: And can you tell us what your latest project has been?Ĭhristopher: You know that is a great project to be part of.Ĭhristopher: Today’s topic is obviously drivers. I design loudspeakers from idea to final product. And Andreas would you like to tell us what you do in the Dynaudio?Īndreas: Sure. My name is Christopher and with me today I have Andreas.
DYNAUDIO MSI DRIVER DRIVERS
Is the loudspeaker drivers performance affected by the crossover, and why does Dynaudio use rather simple ones?Ĭhristopher: Welcome to Ask the Expert.
How does a passive crossover affect loudspeaker drivers? How long do different parts of a loudspeaker actually last? What is the life cycle of loudspeaker parts? Why don't Dynaudio always use neodymium magnets in their drivers? Is there a difference between the loudspeaker drivers we put in our Home/Car products? The simple answer: Yes and no.
What's the difference between drivers for Home/Car applications? Is there such as thing as a 'fast' driver. Is there such a thing as a 'fast' driver? Udo, Stefan, and Phillip were wondering: "why don't we experiment with other materials than MSP? Why not use Kevlar?" Why does Dynaudio only use one material for its cone design? But, Neil and Uwe point out that we're moving towards smaller ones now - and right ask the question: "Why?"
DYNAUDIO MSI DRIVER DRIVER
Why use a certain voice coil diameter in Driver design?Īt Dynaudio, we have been using rather large voice coils for some time.
