SLS ADVANCED LINE RIBBON DRIVER

SLS International (www.slsloudspeakers.com) debuts a line of high-temperature, Kapton®-diaphragm ribbon drivers.

Common features of the PRD 500 and PRD 1000 include Neodymium magnet structures and a high-temperature, thin-film, Kapton diaphragm. SLS ribbon driver diaphragms are 100x lighter than dome tweeter elements, have flat impedance and a linear response up to 40 kHz. Additionally, phase response and transient repro is said to be better than dome tweeters and compression drivers, with a greater dynamic range for clarity and detail at high output levels.
