Lyra uses the latest generation of Rockport midrange drivers equipped with state-of-the-art carbon fiber sandwich cones with a variable slice thickness composite. The drivers are installed on proprietary extremely powerful motor units with ultra-low distortion, with a useful bandwidth of almost 6 octaves, and their distortion values are lower than those of some amplifiers (-60 dB).
The drivers used here are the same as in a larger speaker system called Lyra — a low-frequency 10-inch driver with a multilayer carbon diffuser and a 6-inch midrange with a similar membrane. All this is complemented by an inch-long beryllium tweeter.
The Avior II uses a powerful combination of a new beryllium tweeter on a waveguide, a 6-inch midrange and two 9-inch composite woofers. This, combined with a completely redesigned crossover, has created a completely new speaker.
In both the bass and midrange versions, the design uses a revolutionary new carbon fiber fabric that further increases the stiffness-to-weight ratio of the cones, ensuring clean piston behavior over the entire operating range. The mid-frequency and low-frequency drivers also feature newly developed conical profiles, as well as cutting-edge, powerful systems.
