1. The Resolution Series loudspeaker enclosures feature a Medium Density Fiber board MDF design Excellent resistance to vibration is achieved using a minimum 1 thickness of MDF The baffles of all Resolution loudspeakers are 2 thick which further damps unwanted resonance In addition the liberal use of internal bracing deadens the enclosures Ideal operating environments for the midrange and tweeter drivers are provided by specialized sub enclosures that isolate these driv ers from the resonant effects of the woofer drivers Large radiuses at the rear cor ners of the enclosure reduce the effect of internal standing waves and contribute to the refined appearance of the loudspeakers Crossover Design Each group of driver units tweeter midrange and woofer has its own dedicated crossover circuit board Each circuit board is made of double sided fiberglass and has a number of unique elements To minimize parasitic inductance and resist ance multiple capacitors are connected in parallel and air core inductors are wound with oversize wire This design allows each drive unit to handle its portion of the music signal without strain maximizes power delivery and increases signal lin earity High current polypropylene film capacitors are used liberally in the audio signal path Similarly the resistors in the crossover networks are connected in parallel to mini mize parasitic inductance and maximize current capacity and power dissipation2.
