The main driver of the model is manufactured by Seas according to Diapason specifications and is equipped with a polypropylene transparent diffuser with a diameter of 110 mm. The high-frequency driver is also made by Seas, its 19 mm dome on a wide suspension provides a more uniform radiation pattern and helps to better work out the smallest details of the musical signal. The crossover is mounted on a board of increased thickness, mounted inside the case directly on the acoustic terminals.
The Diapason Direct Drive system in ADAMANTES V allows you to use a 170mm woofer/midrange driver without a separation filter, which gives a lively and natural sound. The parameter left and right values are measured and selected with a spread of less than 0.1% - the key to accurate localization of sound images.
The two drivers of the model are covered with large-mesh grills made of acoustically inert metal material. A 2-cm tweeter with a soft silk diaphragm impregnated with a special compound is responsible for the upper case.
