Technology of TS-W 5000 SPL Necessary for getting High SPL High Power Handling Technology High Power Handling Ceramic Coated Voice coil* 3 -Layer Fibre Woven Radial Rubber Surround * Louder Output Wide roll, Overhung Surround Design Triple stacked Magnets & Thick Plate, High Power Motor Assembly Strengthen Cone Rigidness Interlaced Carbon Fibre Reinforced IMPP Cone* Improved Output Ability and Minimize Energy loss ADMG(Aero Dynamic Magnetic Gap) Design Aluminum Die-Cast Deep Basket with Motor Grip Structure Extended / Vented Pole Yoke Design *: Patent Pending

TS-W 5000 SPL 3 -Layer Fiber Woven Radial Rubber Surround * Green frame: Vibration Parts tech. Orange frame: Magnetic circuit and other tech. Interlaced Carbon Fibre Reinforced IMPP Cone* Wide roll, Overhung Surround Design* Convex, Laminated Carbon Fibre/ Paper Composite Center Cap High Power Handling Ceramic Coated Voice coil* Aluminum Die-Cast Deep Basket with Motor Grip Structure Vented Aluminum Die-Cast Damper Support Triple stacked Magnets & Thick Plate, High Power Motor Assembly ADMG(Aero Dynamic Magnetic Gap) Design Extended / Vented Pole Yoke Design 8 -Gauge Wire Terminal Notice: This is not final sample’s photo. *: Patent Pending

3 Layer Fibre (Aramid-Fibre) Woven Radial Rubber Surround Honeycomb Pattern Aramid-Fibre Woven Cloth Inserted Surround 3 -Layer Fiber Woven Radial Rubber Surround *: The surround is required to precisely control the huge power handling and extended linear excursion. This design eliminates surround puckering at large excursion, resulting in louder, more controlled bass response with improved durability. The honeycomb pattern reinforcing cloth evenly distributes strength throughout the surround material, eliminating any weak points of surround and improving high power capability.

Results of 3 Layer Fibre Woven Radial Surround u Eliminated Surround Puckering A case of regular grade subwoofer It does not become dented. →Moreover it restrains “Rolling”. General Surround becomes dented. →It is bad influence for excursion ※ 3 Layer Fibre Woven Radial surround is adopted all new subwoofers! 3 Layer Fibre Woven Radial Surround Skin Inserted Cloth Skin(The back side of inserted cloth)

Wide roll, Overhung Surround Design: Overhung Surround provides 22% larger cone surface than general cone design to increase SPL.

Interlaced Carbon Fiber Reinforced IMPP Cone Skin Fibre Skin Interlaced Carbon Fiber Reinforced IMPP cone*: To prevent cone failure at high SPL, an extremely rigid yet lightweight cone was required. A new patent-pending IMPP cone using a special blend of Carbon fibers was developed. The long carbon fibres interlace together to form an incredibly resilient fibre weave, providing strength and rigidity for the cone.

High Power Handling Ceramic Coated Voice Coil Wire Primer (Ceramic Compound) Insulation Part (Ceramic Coating) Adhesive Part Cupper Wire The section of Ceramic Coat Voice coil wire High Power Handling Ceramic Coated Voice coil* Ceramic coated wire provides superior heat capability to double the input power handling capability. Ceramic coating insulates the voice coil wire, preventing short circuits due to over heating and dramatically improving reliability. Typical SPL competition subwoofers consistently “Burn” during competition, requiring frequent replacement. The Ceramic Coat Voice Coil virtually eliminates failures during SPL competition.

Aluminum Die-Cast Basket with Motor Grip Structure Deep Basket: Any flex or vibration in the basket structure would reduce the output energy of the woofer. A massive die-cast basket with huge 10 mm thick rigid spokes holds the top & bottom side of motor structure securely, effectively minimizing any undesired output loss and prevents resonance.

Triple stacked High Power Magnets & Thick Plate, High Power Motor Assembly : The massive motor structure provides more powerful force to move the cone assembly harder, which is required to overcome the huge air pressure resistance experienced in world record SPL level environment. Magnet weight is 9 kg(3 kg x 3)!!

ADMG(Aero Dynamic Magnetic Gap) Design & Extended / Vented Pole Yoke Design ADMG(Aero Dynamic Magnetic Gap) Design: Each pole piece and top plate have air channels in narrow magnetic gap, thereby reducing mechanical resistance by more than 10%. The result is greatly improved linearity at high power input. Air channel
