About T1 Super Tweeter
The T1 super tweeter is positioned in a Stilla-Sphere enclosure atop the Tigris speaker for optimal sound dispersion and stability. It is phase-tuned to integrate smoothly with the Super Midrange M2, overcoming traditional challenges in combining super tweeters with main speaker elements.
The T1 features a silk dome diaphragm, enhanced with Accumax to maintain the acoustic benefits of silk while minimizing mechanical breakup at high frequencies. Its powerful motor system uses a rare earth Neodymium magnet for consistent performance across various frequencies and volumes.
Additionally, an elongated Earthquake vortex cooling unit effectively dissipates heat, protecting the motor system from compression and ensuring peak performance.
About M2 Super Midrange
The M2 super midrange speaker from Earthquake Sound features innovative Laminar Flow Optimized Sphere Transducer Technology, commonly known as “Ball-Loaded” for its spherical design. This technology overcomes challenges in loudspeaker design by enhancing upper-frequency response, enabling a smooth transition to the T1 super tweeter.
The spherical shape results from research into turbulent flow and acoustic properties of high-frequency devices. Its wide bandwidth allows it to perform effectively in frequencies usually reserved for tweeters, making it more efficient than using separate midrange and tweeter units.
Designing a high-speed midrange requires balancing mass, power, self-resonance, and stiffness. The speaker’s size affects acoustic performance, particularly in managing air compression and impedance. A key advantage of the M2 is its hemispherical membrane, which eliminates the transition problems found in conventional designs. This eliminates the distortion associated with air displacement near the edge suspension.
The membrane’s double-hung design ensures precise motion, shifting the breakup frequency well beyond audible ranges. Additionally, the silk membrane’s Accumax coating maintains rigidity while offering flexibility at pivot points, aligning the dispersion pattern with that of the T1 super tweeter.
Housed in an optimized Audio Lens Pod, the M2 achieves excellent air coupling without tonal shifts, resulting in detailed sound and an immersive listening experience that feels remarkably realistic.
About K8 Kevlar Woofer
The Dual K8 woofer drive units utilize Earthquake’s advanced XLT geometry, which enhances the traditional long-throw design for a smooth transition from midrange to deep subwoofer frequencies. These woofers are constructed with high ballistic-grade Kevlar, known for its lightweight and rigid properties, ensuring superior pistonic behavior while being moisture-resistant due to a special epoxy process.
The K8 features a high-quality Santoprene surround suspension and an Earthquake Super Spider, allowing for substantial diaphragm throw potential. The XLT architecture prevents CMS compression by only using a portion of its throw at typical playback levels. The K8’s compliant suspension responds easily to light taps.
With an oversized copper wound voice coil and a robust strontium-cobalt magnet system, the K8 offers strong electromagnetic interaction, ensuring precise cone control and minimal distortion. This leads to accurate and tight bass response, regardless of audio complexity or volume level.
About Hemi Elliptical Cabinet
The Titan Tigris tower speaker cabinet is designed using traditional Scandinavian boat-building principles and features a Hemi Elliptical shape, which minimizes reflections and standing waves for clear and dynamic sound.
Unlike typical cabinets that use router grooves for bending, the Titan Tigris employs Earthquake’s proprietary N-Flex method. This technique uniformily layers steam-bent wood without compromising structural thickness, resulting in a robust cabinet made of eight layers of high-density fiberboard (HDF), 30 mm thick.
Each cabinet also includes an internal skeleton made from a unique wood and epoxy composite, enhancing strength and resonance control.
The finishing process involves priming, sanding, and applying multiple layers of black lacquer, followed by a polished clear coat, achieving a refined and elegant appearance.
