Collaboration with Air Studios
Since its establishment by George Martin in 1969, London,
England's Air Studios has earned unequivocal respect from
scores of artists who recognize it as the world's premier recording
studio. The Air Studios seal that was awarded to the S-3EX
indicates that these speakers are capable of producing the high-
quality sound demanded by the world's top-class sound creators.
Bass Enclosure Construction
The unique form of the S-3EX is based upon logical necessity. In
order to synchronize the arrival time of sound from the CST and
the two bass drivers, each driver is mounted upon a baffle that
serves to create a highly delicate curve known as the "precision
curve" (see illustration below). Made of up to 100 mm thick MDF
(Medium Density Fiberboard), this baffle is, moreover, strong
enough to contain the force of the drivers. Additionally, the bass
port has been carved out of an extremely thick block of MDF,
resulting in the reduction of wind noise for clear, deep bass.
