ORBs are designed using ultra high strength, neodymium, rare earth, magnets. They are much more powerful than traditional magnets, and way more expensive. However, they are also very small, and allow ORBs to have incredible control and detail, super high output for their size and to sound as lifelike and transparent as true audiophile speakers costing much more in much larger cabinets.  

 

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

System Type 

    

High-performance modular satellite/subwoofer design with acoustically-matched custom components 

 

 

 

Total System Frequency Response

 

33 HZ- 18 KHz (subONE & satellites)

 

 

 

MOD1 & MOD2 SATELLITES

 

 

Speaker Type 

 

Magnetically shielded full-range satellite speaker.  Crossover-free design for coherent, lifelike sound.

 

 

 

Driver

 

High-excursion 3" full range aluminum driver cone with Santoprene surround.  These materials maintain their sonic characteristics over long periods of time and over a broad range of temperatures and operating environments.

 

 

 

Magnet Assembly 

 

Fully shielded, high-density neodymium magnet with proprietary oversized voice coil in high tolerance gap to create strong, highly focused magnetic field.  Compact magnet design allows for maximum free internal volume and extension of low midrange performance.
