Cinergy 5.1

Ever notice how home theatre speakers can sound so different from one another, even when they are the same brand?

Typical speakers allow the sound from the woofers and tweeters to interact with one another over a broad part of the range, so a horizontal array can never quite sound the same as a vertical one -- even when the same elements are used! Thanks to the patented Infinite Slope™ crossover, the Cinergy 5.1 actually provides the acoustic match so vital to proper cinema sound, even if you turn it on its side. The sound is clear everywhere, so the whole family can enjoy the movie, regardless of where they sit in the room. Magnetically Shielded.

• Metal cone woofers - Aluminum cones are extremely rigid, resulting in very clear dynamic sound free from the common midrange resonances that mar the performance of conventional plastic or paper cones. This woofer is equipped with an extended pole piece that acts as a "phase plug" extending the usable dispersion of the woofer at the top end of its range, and displacing any resonances that could form inside the cavity of a conventional dustcap.
• Silk dome tweeter - These latest generation silk/fabric dome tweeters offer sweet smooth extended highs, without any of the "oil-can" resonances found in metal domes. The result is a natural sounding treble range that reveals all the detail and beauty of the music.
• Infinite Slope crossover - the patented Infinite Slope Crossover virtually eliminates the interactions between the drivers, so the sound that comes from the woofer is separate and distinct from that of the tweeter. It also optimizes the sound of each the drivers, permitting the use of such exotic materials as aluminum cones, while effectively silencing the ringing that such drivers can exhibit in conventional implementations.
