Bass Drivers<br />
The bass driver pictured below serves as the foundation of the S-<br />
<strong>3EX</strong> speaker system. The driver's strength is the result of the<br />
Aramid/Carbon composite material, originally created during the<br />
development of the S-1EX, that is used in its diaphragm. Pioneer's<br />
exclusive LDMC magnetic circuit technology has been<br />
incorporated in order to preserve linearity from low to high output<br />
levels and minimize distortion.<br />
Bass Enclosure Construction<br />
The unique form of the S-<strong>3EX</strong> is based upon logical necessity. In<br />
order to synchronize the arrival time of sound from the CST and<br />
the two bass drivers, each driver is mounted upon a baffle that<br />
serves to create a highly delicate curve known as the "precision<br />
curve" (see illustration below). Made of up to 100 mm thick MDF<br />
(Medium Density Fiberboard), this baffle is, moreover, strong<br />
enough to contain the force of the drivers. Additionally, the bass<br />
port has been carved out of an extremely thick block of MDF,<br />
resulting in the reduction of wind noise for clear, deep bass.<br />

Crossover Networks<br />
The crossover networks use only the finest components. Air cored<br />
coils, noninductive resistors, and film capacitors in the signal path<br />
are all carefully chosen and optimized for the CST driver to provide<br />
the greatest transparency to the signal. The bass drivers use<br />
silicon steel plate core inductors that minimize distortion and loss<br />
during energy transfer. All components are connected directly to<br />
their respective wiring materials, instead of a printed circuitboard,<br />
allowing for minimal loss and maximum performance.<br />
Collaboration with Air Studios<br />
Since its establishment by George Martin in 1969, London,<br />
England's Air Studios has earned unequivocal respect from<br />
scores of artists who recognize it as the world's premier recording<br />
studio. The Air Studios seal that was awarded to the S-<strong>3EX</strong><br />
indicates that these speakers are capable of producing the highquality<br />
sound demanded by the world's top-class sound creators.<br />
