Simulation Techniques: Dinaburg C2S Concentric Coplanar Stabilizer Analysis

Dinaburg Technology developed a unique patented integral coaxial speaker cone approach that features the advantages of a passive radiator in a small volume and takes advantage of a back wave from the loudspeaker’s diaphragm to optimize the passive radiator’s response and the off-axis performance of the active driver. The advantages are clearly audible, and this article dives into the mathematical simulation, and integrating the mechanical, acoustical, and electrical simulations.

Test Bench: SB Acoustics’ Satori MW13TX-4 5” TPCD Cone Midbass Driver

TPCD is the acronym for Thin-Ply Carbon Diaphragm, which is essentially the technology developed in Sweden by Oxeon to create a new-generation material with properties that are now well-proven for speaker cones and domes. The Satori MW13TX-4 TPCD cone 5” woofer is the fourth TPCD diaphragm transducer to be explicated in Test Bench, and this one has a substantial feature set, including a single piece bowl-shaped TPCD cone and NBR surround.
