Introducing the new 10-12" drivers from Credence with patented Inner Lead System (ILS) technology. This new technology solves a number of problems:
- Voice coil lead wires are now protected
- Eliminates lead slap (lead wires too long)
- Eliminates lead tears (lead wires too short)
The new ribbed surrounds improve the driver's' ability to withstand extreme back pressure and the clear dustcap allows you to see cone and lead wires in motion. |

Rocky Mountain Audio Festival, Denver Colorado
The Rocky Mountain Audio Festival was definitely fun. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in audio, no matter the budget, life style, or their personal allowance as measured in Spousal Permission Units (SPU's). SPU's are bought, sold and bartered but luckily in this case did not cost me too dearly! A few extra days in Colorado was quite acceptable! (K.L.)

Woofer Tester Pro and Speaker Tester
Features for the Speaker Tester and Woofer Tester Pro are continuing to grow. AC and DC bias analysis now includes suspension, motor parameter and in-air acoustic response as well as distortion trends. Check out this WT-Pro presentation for a list of features. Several FAQ pages have also been added to our web page explaining these features in detail.

Fast Testing
Fast testing of electrical and acoustic properties is a standard feature in our WT-Pro. We do not recommend 'fast testing' for generating base line Thiele-Small parameters to use in your modeling program as we found the fast test method to be noise sensitive and lacking precision (repeatability). Fast electrical and acoustic testing makes sense in a production environment where A/B testing quickly identifies units that differ from a "golden unit". In this case, we recommend the WTPro, since it combines electrical and acoustic ultra-fast, FFT-based testing in one box. For those customers using a WT2 in a production environment we can supply a software version with fast test capability.
