The Alpair 5 Generation 2 is a pure Free-to-air Single Suspension Full-Range audio driver.
The outcome is a very easy to use versatile driver suitable for many smaller applications where higher-end sound quality is desired from a mini-sized audio driver..
A typical box bass-reflex box application with an internal volume of 3 liters can be port tuned to below 80Hz while the driver retains is high range output up to 25kHz.
The result is a detailed balanced sound representation across an ultra wide frequency band for this class of small driver.
All production units are then pair matched to with +/- 1Hz @ F Zero.
Production Alpair 5 drivers are made to within +/- 2.5Hz @ F Zero.
The front suspension operating tolerance is measured in milli-newtons.
The accuracy requirement for this new Alpair 5 component design, engineering, and detailed assembly goes well beyond typical commercial audio-driver manufacturing.
Its coil locates cleanly between the drivers cone and motor sub-assembly, making the new 5 a pure free-to-air mechanical design.
This new Alpair 5 design completely removes all these restrictions.
Some other drivers use damping fluid, springs or other devices, all of which produce losses.
Bonded to the coil, it physically restricts a coil\'s ability to transfer mechanical-acoustic signals to the cone.
Traditional driver designs use a spider, a suspension device located behind the drivers cone.
Mark, along with Evan Yu and the engineering team spent several months of research removing mechanical restriction from the ultra thin coil body.
