The Coax has been a significant revenue driver for many years. Nonetheless, or perhaps precisely for that reason, it was time for a complete makeover.
No, seriously, every single aspect has been analyzed, scrutinized, and improved.
The most obvious being its new size and shape to create an even larger cabinet volume.
The cabinet has been acoustically enhanced so that the rear sound proportion in the lower midrange is better absorbed. The additional volume helps produce clean, dry, and thus full-bodied basses.
A larger cabinet inevitably leads to adjustments in the “Tension Improve Module” (TIM). As a result of the larger surfaces, the cabinet tends to resonate more, which has an immediate impact on the sound quality.
The new TIM2 is put under tensile stress and positively bolted to the cabinet for even better results. This ensures the rigidness of the construction and keeps the bass as it should be: dry and accurate.

Yes, of course. That’s where we made the most significant changes. An additional neodymium magnet above the tweeter gives it a higher efficiency, particularly in the Coax 811 – with pretty cool acoustic results. The front panel has been stiffened with an extra cross-bracing so the magnets could be “soft” glued, eliminating annoying resonances.
Exclusively, a newly developed special coating on the foil is used. This linearizes the frequency response in the lower transmission range and allows a lower transition to the woofer. The coax driver thus emits sounds from 450 Hz. The sensitive range of vocals is reproduced flawlessly, contributing to a well-balanced and neutral sound pattern.

It certainly does!
Our coaxial ribbon system offers advantages you can’t find in ordinary midrange drivers for love nor money.
The speaker’s “engine” is simultaneously its membrane and thus the sound generating part. This guarantees a fantastic performance – a great deal of horsepower per kilogram!
In addition, the tweeter and midrange drivers have been arranged coaxially on one level. This creates a point source at which the position of the sound reproduction remains unchanged across a wider frequency range, which is ideal for natural vocals. In reality, a voice only comes from one point, after all.
