The ND1060 1 inch exit neodymium high frequency compression driver has been designed for use in high quality audio system designs.

One advancement in the ND1060 is its innovative diaphragm assembly made from a proprietary treated Polyethylene material. Consequently, the ND1060, with its inherent superior diaphragm dimensional stability (160 degrees C), is able to maintain constant behavior during its whole working life. Moreover, the proprietary treated polyethylene film, with its very high value of modulus of elasticity (50% more than standard Mylar and 100% more than polyimide film), is capable of superior transient and intermodulation distortion response. The flat suspension shape has been designed to maintain low stiffness and low mid band distortion and response.

An edge-wound aluminum voice coil wound on proprietary treated Nomex completes the diaphragm assembly. Nomex shows a 30% higher value of tensile elongation at a working operative temperature (200 degrees C) when compared to Kapton. This feature enables proper energy transfer control from the voice coil to the dome in real working conditions. Further, this proprietary former material is also suitable for use in high moisture content environments.
