DeVORE FIDELITYs' new
statement speaker is the long awaited
Silverback Reference. This speaker is
unmatched in its ability to convey subtle
musical nuance and delicate micro-details
coupled to explosively powerful dynamics
and truly full-range frequency response.
A 21Hz-40kHz bandwidth achieved with
a true 8 Ohm impedance, and a low-reactance
crossover using our award-winning gibbon
technology and pure silver foil capacitors
makes the Silverback Reference transparent,
seamless, and very easy for almost any
amplifier to drive.
The silverback crossover
is implemented using our proprietary
gibbon technology assuring excellent
transient fidelity and seamless integration
of all four drivers. The crossover uses
the DeF SVDX (Suspended Vibration Damped
X-over) system in which all components
are encapsulated in Vibraflex and mounted
on an isolated baffle to eliminate coil,
capacitor and resistor resonance.
The tweeter is a state-of-the-art
silk dome with flat response to 40kHz
using powerful dual magnets and a carefully
tuned enclosure. The tweeter is then
suspended in its own isolated housing
to prevent midrange and bass frequency
vibrations from effecting delicate high
frequencies.
The midrange phase-plug
controls dispersion in the critical
crossover region, and allows higher
power handling and dynamics.
The carefully sculpted
narrow front baffle allows the speakers
to throw a wide, precise soundstage
and disappear into a room.
The upper baffle, cabinet
top, and key internal partitions are
made from D-MASS, a unique high-density
material, that acts as an energy barrier
and allows the midrange and tweeter
to operate as though mounted in a completely
separate cabinet from the woofer system.
The silverback cabinet
uses 6 separately tuned internal chambers
and non-parallel walls to achieve low
bass extension and explosive, uncolored
dynamics and transient performance.
Twin long-throw 8-inch woofers are mounted
in a force canceling sub-chamber with
non-parallel walls to eliminate standing
waves and minimize cabinet vibration.
D-MASS outriggers and
custom designed isolation feet provide
a stable platform for the silverback,
and allow full adjustment of listening
axis height in any room.
