- In the EPICON 8, two 8” woofers are complemented by a 6 ½“ mid-range driver to peel away the layers of a recording and delicately separate vocals and instruments. The groundbreaking Linear Drive Magnet System of the woofers is complemented by our hybrid ribbon/soft dome tweeter module. This all translates into the largest, most room-filling sound of the EPICON family. Effectively this is a ‘3 + ½-way’ construction
- Each side of the EPICON 8 is constructed from 6 individual layers of MDF, all glued together. In the EPICON 8 these are anchored to a 63 mm multi-layer MDF backbone of the cabinet, which is 10 mm thicker than the backbone of the EPICON 2 and EPICON 6 to maintain control. CNC milling process is applied for making the recess and holes for the bass ports and terminals in the backbone. With a thickness of 33 mm the dual layer front baffle ensures that energy from the drivers is radiated as acoustic energy, and not as vibrations in the cabinet. The curved shape of the front baffle is also a contributing factor in ensuring a stable acoustic platform. Internally the cabinet for the EPICON 8 is divided in two identical sized chambers for the woofers and one extra chamber for the midrange. The woofer chambers are allowing tuning of the cabinet to be done identically yet completely independently for each of the two woofers. The midrange chamber allows the driver to reproduce the critical frequencies related to e.g. human voices without any interference from the rest of the system. Thus you will find two bass ports on the back of the cabinet located as nearby the woofers as possible. Both ports are convex tapered in both ends to minimize port turbulence. At the very bottom of the cabinet, however, you will see that the hardwired crossover is mounted in its own enclosure as well – free from the dynamic variation of cabinet pressure inside the bass reflex enclosures.
