Technology:
| Ingenious Audio's ZVOX systems use patent-pending PhaseCue™ technology
to create the perception of a very large sound by mixing the standard "in
phase" signals with “out of phase” signals. The stereo input
on the back of the console receives two signals: the Left Channel (L) and the
Right Channel (R). The two signals are also differenced to produce L-R. There
are three amplifier channels: L+R , L-R and bass. The L+R and L-R channels are
substantially identical, with identical equalization (EQ). The bass channel has
its own EQ and soft clipping circuit (which prevents it from going into audible
distortion). The left and right speakers use the same signal, except they are
wired out of phase. The left speaker receives the Left signal "minus"
the Right signal. The right speaker receives the right signal "minus"
the Left signal (R-L).
The result is uncanny. The sound? Astounding. You are literally enveloped in sound emerging from the speaker enclosure's surroundings. |
| Another Ingenious Audio patent-pending technology for its ZVOX systems is Infinite Compliance™. The radical design technology creates big cabinet sound from relatively small speaker enclosures. The left and right speakers in Ingenious Audio consoles are each in air-tight enclosures that are connected by an acoustic tube. The connecting tube combines the low frequency pressures generated by each speaker, essentially cancelling them out and thus eliminating any acoustic stiffness in the suspension. This eliminates the need for the large enclosure required by most speaker designs. This phenomenon is referred to as Infinite Compliance. The impedance curve of the speakers at their resonant frequency is completely flat. |
