Every element of a speaker contributes to its sound reproduction. The basket offers a supporting

structure to the magnet and to the parts of the speaker in constant motion. It also can negatively

contribute to the actual acoustic output, through its own vibration and the reflections generated

by the basket spokes. The mechanical resonances of a traditional basket, usually ranging between

800 and 1300 Hz (depending on mass and stiffness), absorb some of the valuable energy that

should be transmitted only through the cone itself.

For the ML165 we have used the same totally inert basket found in the ML 1600. The self-standing

design made of a light, well damped aluminum alloy sets a new reference in acoustic transparency;

the sound is precise and neutral, without any unwelcome coloring caused by resonance and

reflections. This design is innovative; the look is stunning.

Vehicle interiors are one of the most complex and troublesome environments for accurate music

reproduction. Every interior has its own unique acoustical problems, such as the ratio between

direct and reflected sound, the speaker systems reciprocal position and the varying distances from

the speaker to the listening point that affect the performance of the system. Specifically dedicated

installation solutions are required to cure these anomalies.

The MILLE crossover represents the utmost in versatility.

The ability to choose between many different configurations

made it necessary to develop a user-friendly switching

system; able to ensure a top quality contact and remain

reliable over time. The EJ (Easy Jumper) selector system

allows ergonomic use with utterly transparent acoustic

performance.

In the speaker systems of the HERTZ MILLE line, Elettromedia has aimed only at achieving top

level performance, without the compromises imposed by economic or structural limits.

We have designed extremely state-of-the-art speakers in terms of technology, design, and materials

used. In our workshops our engineering team has developed innovative crossover filters, perfectly

matched to the speakers and extraordinary in terms of realization. With this we have achieved our

goal; reference acoustic performance.

An inherent acoustical problem found in the vehicle environment

is the different orientation of the left and right channel speakers

in reference to the listening point, changing the perceived

response, extension and phase of the reproduced

signal. The HFC (High Frequency Contour) is

a proprietary circuit that effectively eliminates

this problem. The acoustic image is now settled

in the center of the dashboard, the listening

sensations are consistent, solid, real.
