WHY DC GOLD AUDIO?
At DC GOLD AUDIO we have worked to
improve the basic design of speakers. The patented designs enable
DC GOLD speakers to sound better. Our speakers are designed and
built in America by people who are passionate about the
reproduction of music. Listen to a pair and hear for yourself, the
quality speaks for itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One design improvement is the
elimination of the “spider”, the corrugated cloth diaphragm behind
the speaker cone. DC GOLD speakers utilize ferrofluid to both aid
centering and cool the coil. The elimination of the “spider”
eliminates the reflexion of sound though the cone and helps with
the speed and detailed yet delicate highs you hear from our
speakers. It also allows unrestricted movement for clean fast
bass.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other major design
aspect of DC GOLD speakers is they are all full range. One speaker
handles all of the frequencies from the lowest bass to the highest
notes. Most speakers have woofers and tweeters and associated
crossover components. The best analogy is pebbles in a pond; a
still pond with one pebble dropped in it allows a natural
concentric waveform pattern to flow from the center. This is the
same as a sound pattern as the microphone that recorded the event
in the first place. If done correctly, it is the best, most natural
way to listen to music. Back to the pond: we now drop 2 or 3
pebbles into the pond. No matter how carefully we try, we will have
many waveforms and ripples that cross over one another; this is
distortion. It can be measured and can be
heard!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other aspect of a
full range speaker is the elimination of all of the crossover
components. The capacitors, inductors and resistors all add or
subtract from the music and add phase and time distortions. KISS –
keep it simple….. A good full range eliminates all of the crossover
components; the music goes from amplifier to voice-coil with no
impedance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our aluminum alloy cone,
with a proprietary coating, allows it to cover the full range and
be totally impervious to the elements. Our aluminum voice-coil and
fluid bearing allow it to handle tremendous power and keep its
cool. Most of our speakers are utilizing neodymium magnets. They
are a more powerful yet much lighter
magnet than the ceramic magnets most companies use. This allows for
a lighter, smaller magnet structure than you might be used to. The
benefit is: our speakers might just fit where others will
not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listen to our speakers
with the most complex music possible. Voices are particularly
difficult to reproduce well. Pick a piece of music that covers the
full frequency spectrum. The DC GOLD will cover it with the speed
and detail of the recorded performance. Listen and compare to any
speaker made; we think you will become as passionate about our
speakers as we are!
