Scientific fidelity Tesla
Tesla’s Name
Tesla is named after Nichola Tesla, the only man to understand electricity in his soul. He was the inventor of A/C electricity, making transformers and therefore long distance energy transmission possible. George Westinghouse gave him his start, Thomas Edison took credit for most of his inventions, and J. P. Morgan ( the owner of General Electric at the time) crushed him.
He died a broken and forgotten man.
this speaker is dedicated to him.
Tesla’s woofers
The woofers that are used in Tesla are Scientific Fidelity’s own Design, employing many unique features.
Long throw-soft suspension design
To avoid dynamic compression (the problem of having less and less relative bass the louder you turn it up), which is caused by the woofer’s increasing stiffness as it gols through its travel, a very long voice coil and a soft compliant suspension have been selected.
R.I.D.S.
the aforementioned system simply consists of two foam gaskets (one in front of the woofer frame and one behind it), and a compression ring to hold the woofer against the cabinet so that no part of the woofer frame touches the cabinet.
Carbon Fiber Cone
carbon fiber is very strong, yet lightweight, when woven into cloth, soaked in resin and then pressed into a cone shape it becomes an extremely rigid piston.
Aluminum Phase Plug
by extending the pole-piece completely through the voice coil to the front of the speaker, heat is conducted away from the voice coil in both directions (providing a highly conductive material, such as aluminum, is used) and power handling is greatly increased.
High Loss Norsorex Surround
a high loss surround not only flexes freele at low frequencies but also absorbs energy at high frequencies so that it damps any edge ringing norsorex is currently one of the best materials for this purpose
Edge-Wound Copper Ribbon Voice Coil
ribbon wire is superior for conducting heat away from the center of the voice coil. It also puts more conductor in the gap than any other type of wire.
Tesla’s Finish
Tesla’s beautiful wood finishes (Rosewood, Teak and Ash) are all obtained using obiche wood. Obiche is a fast growing tree from the country of Cameroon, which has some of the best forest management in the world. In Cameroon, 80% of their forests are protected by law. Only 20% are open for commercial production, and in that 20% only one obiche tree is allowed to be cut per acre per year, and that tree must be over 200 inches in circumference.
This is a sustainable process so long as the trees are cut in this manner three will always be obiche trees.
