Passive Radiator
Passive radiator technology
Argon S and X lines utilize the passive radiator
technology developed originally for Amphion’s
professional line. Passive radiators o昀昀er a
number of performance bene昀椀ts over traditional
vented cabinets.
Better quality bass
Passive radiators remove the harmful sonic
signature always present with re昀氀ex loading. In
addition to port noise vented cabinets exhibit
a “tail” of the original signal, which smears
particularly the upper bass and the lower
midrange. When properly executed, passive
radiators produce the ideal, quick, controlled
“start-stop” type of bass, and improve the clarity
in the lower mids.
Increased midrange purity
In addition to better quality bass, the midrange
purity is increased. A driver situated in a re昀氀ex
cabinet is exposed to “disturbance” i.e. air
turbulence and pressure changes caused by air
moving in and out of the re昀氀ex tube. In a closed
passive re昀氀ex cabinet, the internal environment
of the enclosure is better controlled, which
optimizes woofer performance.
