Kevlar

Some manufacturers advertise their Kevlar speakers as bullet proof. Did you ever wonder how you could develop something to stop a bullet and then decide to try it out as the cone for a speaker? Oh well, they did and we are the better off for it. Kevlar handles today’s digital audio better than conventional speakers. It also offers a very smooth transition and a great flat level response within its range. The net result is a great sound.

I bring this to your attention because with the New Wave Audio KV series speakers we have a great speaker at one of the most competitive prices in the market. Please use this opportunity, if you haven’t already, to compare New Wave's quality and price with what you are currently buying.

New Wave Ceiling Mount LCR

New Wave has introduced a new type of speaker. It is referred to as a Ceiling Mount LCR. (The LCR stands for Left, Center, & Right). The speaker has a pivotal tweeter and the woofer is mounted at a 15 degree angle to allow you to push the sound back into the room rather than straight down. The speaker looks the same as any ceiling speaker when installed. The dispersed speaker will allow you to put your entire surround sound system less the subwoofer in the ceiling. Our speaker is from New Wave with a Kevlar cone at a price that will kill the competition. The part numbers are NWA-C690 & NWA-C890.

Wire Gauge and Thread Count for Home Entertainment Equipment

So what’s more important when you’re hooking up home entertainment equipment, the wire gauge or the strand count?

The answer is yes—they are both important!

Wire gauge is important to minimize power loss. The rule of thumb is that runs of less than 100 feet should be 16ga; 100 - 200 feet should be 14ga, and runs over 200 feet should be 12ga. As most runs are less than 100 feet, 16ga is the most commonly used wire size. Some installers prefer using a heavier gauge wire in all applications. Using a heavier gauge is certainly acceptable and will help to further minimize power loss.

Sound travels on the outside of the wire strand. Therefore more strands equals more sound. The higher the stand count, the broader the bandwidth of sound carried.

Gauge and strand count are equally important to insure a good installation and a happy customer.

Dual Voice Coil Speakers

How, when, where, and why should you use a dual voice coil speaker such as a New Wave NWAC652 or a NWAIC6D?

How is very simple...you have a 4 conductor from your source to the volume control and you just continue with a 4 conductor to the speaker. The speaker itself has the connections for both the right and left channels.

You should use the dual voice coil when you are in small quarters but want to listen to the full program. Typical areas where dual voice coils are used would be bathrooms, closets, and hallways.

A dual voice coil speaker will allow you to get full programming, both right and left channel in one speaker. This serves two purposes: first it’s just better listening; and second, it keeps the system balanced for impedance matching.

Many systems can be improved with the use of DV speakers, please help your customers understand their use.
