The extraordinary performance of the new “W” cone challenged us to come up with suitable technologies to match, for a no compromise result.

A brand new frame was designed for the brand new Utopia Be. It is made of a special aluminum alloy providing strength as well as optimal heat transfer where necessary and good vibration damping. It is finished with finely textured black power coating, for distinguished aesthetics suiting its performance. The high pressure injection process allowed intricate sculpturing and details.

One of the purposes of this new reference line of products was to allow exceptional quality installations, even in the most difficult, intricate and tight areas, which are often found in luxury and high performance automobiles.

This was clearly calling for a compact magnetic motor, while at the same time we had to come up with high magnet strength for the performance we were looking for. This is how we ended up designing a brand new powerful ring magnet made of neodymium, material which provides 10 times the energy found in ferrite. To extract the utmost quality of this superb material, we went through the trouble of many Finite Element Analysis based iterations of designs. This is how we determined the right shape of the motor in order to obtain a perfectly symmetrical distribution of magnetic energy in the air gap for optimized control of the motion of the voice coil, from small to large displacements. We literally shaped the magnetic filed in which the voice coil is immersed at all frequencies for most constant force factor.

The result is a level of control of the voice coil rarely encountered, insuring extremely low distortion even under the highest stress of hard driving. The woofers of the Utopia Be line have all been designed and engineered with a particular concern for one all too often neglected quality: consistency of tonal character at all levels, from low to high. This means that your system sounds the same, has the same balance, the same sound whether you play soft or loud as all the parameters stay stable under small and large excursions. Rare care for rare quality. The woofers of the Utopia Be line have also been designed so that they work with a perfect mechanical stability over their entire frequency range.

To play beautifully, very loud or very soft, for very long time, this is what these woofers are for.
