The Wilson Benesch IGx embodies the essence of 'Acoustic Truth', delivering precise low-frequency sound reproduction that connects listeners to live performances. This innovative system integrates advanced materials and engineering principles to faithfully recreate the dynamics of live musical instruments.
The Wilson Benesch IGx utilizes a groundbreaking push-pull motor design with dual Neodymium motors to control a lightweight Carbon Fibre – Polyethylene Terephthalate diaphragm. This diaphragm, weighing under 100 grams, is optimized for stiffness and damping, allowing it to respond with unprecedented speed while efficiently reproducing low frequencies without the inertia typically associated with conventional drivers. The unit features a 16kg Steel Core that grounds the energy produced by the motors, eliminating cabinet resonance and optimizing sound clarity. The absence of a traditional basket structure removes the resistive elements that hinder diaphragm movement, allowing for a highly responsive and integrated acoustic performance. This design philosophy adheres to fundamental physical principles, ensuring that the IGx provides an unparalleled listening experience.
Key Features
-
Push-Pull Motor Design: Utilizes two high-power NdFeB magnets and voice coils to precisely control diaphragm movement with minimal inertia.
-
Carbon Fibre – Polyethylene Terephthalate Diaphragm: Offers extreme stiffness and low mass, capable of supporting 1000 times its own weight, thus enhancing transient response and low-frequency clarity.
-
16kg Steel Core: Provides stability and grounds the energy produced, eliminating unwanted cabinet resonance and improving overall sound fidelity.
-
Circular External Structure: Geometrically optimized to defy cabinet resonance, ensuring a consistent low-frequency response without the distortions often associated with traditional designs.
-
Efficient Movement: Without common resistive elements, the diaphragm's movement is extremely efficient, resulting in lightning-fast audio reproduction akin to live drum performances.
