Esoteric Speaker Line
The Technology
Exclusive Esoteric magnesium (Mg) diaphragm technology meets elegant British assembly.
The world’s first all magnesium diaphragm two way loudspeaker system!
Mg alloy diaphragm technology
- Esoteric exclusive technology (ceramic coating and corrugation)
- World’ first Mg diaphragm 2 way loudspeaker
- Exceptionally high resolution
- Crystal-clear transparency
- Free from carbon fiber, Kevlar, metallic & paper resonance
British engineering integration and production
- Designed by Esoteric and Made in Great Britain
- Final acoustic engineering and assembly by TANNOY, Ltd. UK
Elements required for high performance diaphragms?
- Low mass High resolution / high sensitivityCapability to reproduce extremely delicate notes Mg, the most “sonically neutral,” and most lightweight industrial metal known!
- Fast sonic propagation Sharp focus True to life dynamics Mg, three times faster acoustic response rate compared to paper cones!
- High rigidity Precise piston motion Reduced distortion Mg, the highest rigidity among industrial metals!
- High internal dissipation Better resonance control / reduced coloration crystal-clear transparency Mg, highest internal dissipation among industrial metals!
- Low mass = high resolution and higher sensitivity!
- Three times faster than paper providing ultra fast acoustic response!
- Free from metallic resonance and acoustic coloration known to exist in other metals, treated paper, carbon fiber and Kevlar
 Esoteric acoustic engineering and exclusive Mg coating technology produced with NIPPON KINZOKU
- Extra-thin two layer coating
(Organic membrane + specialized ceramic coating) 9 Better anti-resonance capability without loss in sensitivity Protection against rust and other environmental influence
- Corrugation technology
Carefully designed resonance control technology Proprietary application
Goal: Maximize Mg performance through superior resonance control!
Impulse response characteristics
Conventional metal diaphragms have a very fast response rate and slow decay. This clearly creates metallic coloration.
Esoteric’s Mg cone designs have a very fast decay thanks to their higher internal dissipation and resonance control technology (Proprietary ceramic coating and corrugation). Furthermore, Mg is acoustically neutral and “color free.”
 Mg -Sonic character / basic advantages
- Higher resolution
- Very high sensitivity
- Exceptionally smooth response
- Crystal-clear transparency
- Sharp focus and precise imaging
- Delicate strings, lively percussion
- Natural vocalizations
- Lack of coloration – acoustically neutral!
Other Features
- Ultra high grade components
-ICW ‘ClarityCap’ film capacitor for HF network (UK made)
-Large and low loss laminated silicone steel core inductor
-Hard wired network / no PCB board
-van den Hul high purity, silver coating connecting wire
-Bi-wire terminal with “earth point” to minimize RF interference
- Rigid enclosure construction
-Specially selected Birch enclosure (front baffle: T25mm)
-Non-parallel side panels prevent internal standing waves
-Solid American cherry side wood rails for rigid baffle joints
-Extensive cross bracing and heavy interior acoustic damping
- Elegant finish
-American cherry wood veneer
The Esoteric loudspeaker line
an integration of completely new diaphragm materials and internal technologies, newly developed sound engineering applications and state of the art British assembly techniques!
