The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.
In episode 126 of the THD Podcast, Alfred Svobodnik from MVoid Audio Technologies joins to tell us about the benefits to using the C2S technology from Dinaburg.
The C2S (Concentric Coplanar Stabilizer) technology from Dinaburg helps automotive speaker systems by addressing specific challenges of the vehicle environment, primarily by producing high-quality, powerful sound from a compact, shallow speaker assembly. Key benefits for automotive applications include:
Space Savings: Automotive interiors often have limited space for speakers. The C2S design is ultra-shallow and requires a minimal enclosure volume, allowing for installation in tight spaces without compromising on sound quality.
Enhanced Bass and Clarity: The technology repurposes 100% of the back-wave energy from the active driver using a concentric passive radiator. This innovation eliminates the acoustic short circuit common in conventional designs, resulting in deeper bass, crystal-clear highs, and an extended frequency response.
Reduced Distortion: By optimizing the relationship between the active and passive components, C2S technology drastically reduces harmonic distortion, delivering pure, clear, and immersive sound, a notable advantage in the often reflective and complex acoustic environment of a car cabin.
Improved Off-Axis Performance: In a vehicle, listeners are rarely on-axis with the speakers. The C2S design provides superior off-axis response and uniform sound dispersion, ensuring a well-balanced sound field for all passengers.
Energy Efficiency: By utilizing previously wasted energy, C2S speakers offer significant improvements in energy efficiency, delivering superior performance without requiring additional power consumption.
Lightweight Design: The speakers themselves are notably lightweight compared to conventional high-performance drivers, which can contribute to overall vehicle weight reduction (e.g., a 6.5" C2S driver weighs just 0.297 kg).
