    Alpair 12

    Purists large full range audio driver


    The Alpair 12 is a large full range single cone drive unit (8 inch - 206-mm frame).
    The primary feature is its extended and detailed range, operating to 20-kHz. The
    driver achieves this performance without using a whizzer or co-axial centre
    tweeter making this driver a purists single cone/cap design.
    This driver incorporates a new cone multi-forming technology originally developed
    in Japan. The cones and made using 7 separate forming and trimming processes,
    all controlled via CNC operation. The accuracy of this technology is superior to
    conventional spun and press methods.
    Tadashi Matsubara San, a most experienced senior driver designer from Japan
    has produced the rear suspension. It is unique and exclusively made for the Alpair
    12. Lui Yi Ping from Taiwan is a specialist in front suspension design. He has
    produced the 7s suspension as the most advanced of its type so far. Its ultra-thin,
    and the production process for this component is all new. The same exclusivity is
    also applied to the frame, coil, connectors, every part for this driver is unique
    custom designed.
    The acoustic result is remarkable for a large full range emitter, delivering
    outstanding clarity, detail and musical realism.

    The Alpair 12 has advanced suspensions that require careful running in:
    Dont use any kind of artificially generated sound signal.
    Hours 1 to 20. Low volume vocal and light music, no heavy bass. Hours 21 to 120, gradually
    increase the volume to normal listening levels and gently introduce rhythmic bass music.
    Patience and care will bring musical rewards.
