HIGH-FREQUENCY COMPRESSION DRIVERS -

    Iconic's high frequency compression drivers are designed to provide unsurpassed reproduction of the audio spectrum over a wide frequency range with extremely high efficiency. When coupled with Mantaray, sectoral, conical, or Tractrix horns, these drivers provide uniform response to the upper limits of human hearing. When used in conjunction with appropriate low frequency systems and dividing networks, they furnish the realistic sound reproduction demanded by even the most discriminating listeners. No matter where they are used, be it in churches, motion picture theatres, music halls, auditoria, or in the finest home audio systems, Iconic's high frequency compression drivers will provide the most natural sound reproduction possible today with the least amount of induced distortion.

Distinctively Different!

    All high frequency compression drivers consist of three basic parts: (1) A diaphragm; (2) An acoustical transformer; and (3) A motor. All Iconic high frequency compression drivers are designed and built using the finest engineering principles, materials, and manufacturing tolerances in the industry.


    At the heart of the these models is the diaphragm/voice coil assembly - the “vocal chord” of a high frequency compression driver.  If a loudspeaker designer fails in this portion of his work, all the rest will be for naught. At a time when many manufacturers claim to have reinvented  the proverbial wheel, Iconic has chosen a different path. Every Iconic high frequency compression driver incorporates only the finest, time-tested materials and manufacturing methods in its construction. In order to assure superior sound reproduction, every Iconic 102-Series High Frequency Compression Driver combines an all-metal aluminum dome, a tangential compliance, and a voice coil of 1 3/4-inch edgewound aluminum ribbon into a field-replaceable assembly.


    Getting the sounds generated by the diaphragm to the listener in proper phase alignment is also extremely important, and is another area where most manufacturers fail miserably. All Iconic high frequency compression drivers incorporate a Tangerine™ radial phasing system, which provides proper phasing which ensures maximum high frequency reproduction while maintaining smooth overall response.


    Lastly, it takes a powerful motor structure to bring the other two parts of a high frequency compression driver together and transform them into a system that flawlessly reproduces sound in a natural manner. Each Iconic high frequency compression driver has an efficient magnetic structure utilizing a 2.5 pound ferrite magnet that provides a flux density of 18,000 gauss.


    Iconic has two superb models of high frequency compression drivers for you to choose from. Both are outstanding drivers with exceptional performance - the one you choose will depend on your application.


The 102-Series:
 
     Iconic's 102-Series are small-format high frequency compression drivers that utilize several time-tested manufacturing methods and materials for superior audio reproduction. Every Iconic 102-Series High Frequency Compression Driver combines an all-metal aluminum dome, a tangential compliance, and a voice coil of 1 3/4-inch edgewound aluminum ribbon into a field-replaceable assembly. This diaphragm/voice coil assembly is extremely lightweight, and is capable of handling the transients in modern, digital audio with ease.  The Iconic Models102-8A and 102-16A have an impedance of eight and sixteen ohms, respectively. Extremely efficient, the 102-Series drivers are capable of tremendous acoustic output with minimal amounts of audio power. Power handling is 10 watts (AES method).

    The Iconic Models 102-8A and 102-16A High Frequency Compression Drivers are capable of uniform, peak-free reproduction throughout the range of human hearing. They are the most efficient drivers of this type available, and exhibit oustanding frequency response. They are the high frequency driver of choice for superior critical listening applications, and in medium or small sound system environments.

The 109-Series:

    Iconic's 109-Series are small-format high frequency compression drivers that are identical in every way to Iconic's 102-Series, except for the diaphragm/voice coil assembly. As with the 102-Series, the 109-Series is manufactured with a very rugged all-metal Pascalite™ dome, a tangential compliance, and a voice coil of 1 3/4-inch edgewound aluminum ribbon into a field-replaceable assembly. This diaphragm/voice coil assembly is extremely lightweight, and is capable of handling the transients in modern, digital audio with ease.  The Iconic Models 109-8A and 109-16A have an impedance of eight and sixteen ohms, respectively. Extremely efficient, the 109-Series drivers are capable of tremendous acoustic output with minimal amounts of audio power. Power handling is 30 watts (AES method).

    The Iconic Models 109-8A and 109-16A High Frequency Compression Drivers are capable of uniform, peak-free reproduction throughout the range of human hearing. They are the most efficient drivers of this type available, and exhibit excellent frequency response. They are high frequency driver of choice for superior critical listening applications, and in medium or small sound system environments where higher power and sound pressure levels are required, but lesser-quality performance is not acceptable.
