Metamodal TPCD release

In the loudspeaker industry, manufacturers like ourselves, are always looking for new, exciting materials. When the TPCD cones came to market, they immediately caught the interest of many. We were no exception. From early on, we embarked on a long mission together with Composite Sound, with the end goal to make the ultimate cones. There have been countless simulations, testing, and sample assemblies. And here we are – some few years later, with the result.

We are more than proud to finally present and launch the second generation TPCD – the Metamodal TPCD. In itself the TPCD material exhibits exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. The groundbreaking part is how the new Metamodal construction controls the inevitable cone break-up to push the boundaries of sound reproduction to an unprecedented level. This is achieved by its unique composition, combining thin spread carbon tapes in several layers where the thickness and stiffness, and the direction of the stiffness, is varied throughout the cone. Engineering the cone like this to optimise the modal break up of the cone make it possible to have it all - high stiffness, low weight and good damping.

The technological marvel of the cone enables the other parts of the driver to really shine as well. The W16NX005 loudspeaker driver incorporates a meticulously optimized linear and symmetric magnetic field with precisely fitted copper parts to also linearise the inductance. Thus eliminating unwanted distortions and allowing the driver to effortlessly handle all the dynamics in the music. Furthermore, the suspension system of the driver has been fine-tuned to provide unparalleled linearity and control. The carefully selected materials and optimized geometry work in perfect harmony, enabling the driver to respond swiftly and accurately to the input signal. Whether it's a gentle whisper or a thunderous roar, the W16NX005 maintains its composure, ensuring a truly immersive and engaging listening experience.

We understand that true audio enthusiasts demand nothing but the best, and the W16NX005 loudspeaker driver is designed to exceed those expectations. Its state-of-the-art technology, combined with experienced craftsmanship, results in a driver that represents the pinnacle of performance and precision. Immerse yourself in a world of unrivalled sound quality, where every note is rendered with astonishing clarity, depth, and realism.

SEAS TPCD

Dear High End Friends,

At Axpona this year, you are more than welcome to take a look – and listen -  to our brand new speakers with TPCD membrane technology! And it is safe to say that they give a magical acoustic experience. Heres’ what our Managing Director expresses his first experience with them:

“I was completely flabbergasted when I finally listened to a system with the new TPCD drivers SEAS are showing at Axpona. The way the resonances in the cone are controlled, give a level of detail in the sound stage that I have never heard before. Look forward to talk more about this technology at Axpona”.

One of the most significant audible benefits of TPCD diaphragms is the improved clarity and detail in the sound it produces, resulting in a more lifelike and realistic listening experience.
Because TPCD is a very stiff and lightweight material, it can precisely reproduce the nuances and subtleties of the audio signal. This results in a clearer and more detailed sound, with improved imaging and separation between different instruments in the recording.

TPCD diaphragms are constructed using multiple thin layers of carbon fiber that are stacked and bonded together to form a lightweight and stiff diaphragm. Each layer is engineered to cover the full cone or just some small areas, so that they combined give stiffness to the areas we want stiffness and softer with more damping where that is needed. This construction technique results in a material that is much stiffer than traditional diaphragm materials like paper or plastic, while still maintaining a low mass and good internal damping.

We are located at Madisound’s room at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL.

WELCOME!

Launch XM011-08 L22ROY2

We are so proud to finally present and launch our new Extreme 8-inch driver L22ROY2!

This driver has been in development for years and is based on our design philosophy with extreme excursion and low noise as it's big brother L26ROY. Perfect for use in applications where space is limited, but the need for extreme, detailed, and precise bass is high.

The name of the driver L22ROY2, indicates that we, after an internal revision, decided to move the advanced magnet system another step forward by optimizing it with an additional aluminium ring above the pole piece to reduce distortion even further with a symmetric and linear inductance for large excursions.

We are very happy with the results. The excursion possibilities and power handling in this driver can be pushed to the extreme.

The SEAS R&D favorite application for this driver is to use two parallel connected drivers in a closed box, mounted on opposite sides to reduce cabinet resonances. The low end should then be tuned to fit the room and your personal preference

SEAS History Book (English)

We have published a book titled: The History of SEAS Fabrikker, and it covers ca. the years 1950-2020. You can buy the book from Audiatur Bokhandel AS, the bookstore ships international. Select distributors will also have the book available for purchase, please check with your local distributor.
