Hifonics ZXT - Hardcore Bassfreak's Choice

Hifonics ZXT - Hardcore Bassfreak's Choice

HiFonics is a synonym for EXTREME performance and superlatives for over 35 years. Everyone knows: HiFonics stands for strength, power and a lot of sound pressure. Matching the new "ÜBER" power amplifiers from the ZEUS EXTREME series with up to 13,000 watts RMS, the matching ZEUS subwoofers are now available.

Particularly striking is the triple magnet of the same size in all woofers, protected with a blue magnet boot, whose lavish ferrite rings alone weigh  proud 8.5 kgs without the chrome-plated steel pole plates. The "Reinforced Structure Array" surrounds, newly developed for the ZXT woofers and reinforced with vertical elements, also give an idea of how much stroke the carbon-reinforced membranes can achieve. These remain rock solid and are even comparatively light thanks to the triple sandwich construction. So that the cones can also optimally exploit the stroke, they are guided by 3-fold Nomex spiders as if on rails. This ensures that the cones do not tilt even at extreme performance.

The ZEUS ZXT subwoofers are also thermally well-equipped: the 10-inch woofer has voice coils that are already 76 mm in size, and from the 12-inch model even gigantic 100 mm in size. With an unbelievable 58 mm winding height, the membranes can make a linear stroke of +/- 23 mm. The voice coil is made of special pi-CCAR flat wire, which is aluminum flat wire with copper coating, which saves weight and is also heat-resistant up to 240 degrees. All in all, ingredients that impressively demonstrate the extraordinary quality of the Zeus woofers. If you are looking for the ultimate level woofers, you cannot avoid the ZEUS EXTREME series.

ESX VE DSP amps – technology with distinction

ESX VE DSP amps – technology with distinction

It took three years of development until these new, high-performance DSP Amps were ready to unfold their full EMC-free, well-tempered performance: The new ESX 11- and 7-channel high-end digital amps are not only eligible for an EISA award because of their features but also for their DSP technology. Their contemporary styled, compactly sized heat sinks also shelter plenty of multi-channel amplifier power. Specially routed subwoofer channels and 9 or 5 satellite channels are designed for powerful playing pleasure. While representatively installed, the white Vision logo of the pretty small audio gear illuminate the sound landscape. If discreet installations are preferred, the screw-on mounting openings at the corners will delight the owner.

The integrated 12- or 8-channel DSP can be brought on the audiophile track via ESX Toolkit software for PC and smartphones. The free DSP channel can be used to supply a subwoofer power amplifier via mono line output and a processed signal. The BT receiver is already integrated and of course every DSP benefits from the components and chips to which the ESX DSP siblings QL812SP and D68SP owe their EISA awards.

HiFonics Zeus Sound Damping Material

HiFonics Zeus Sound Damping Material

The two ZEUS DOOR KITS ZDK1 and ZDK2 are complete sets with three components in the scope of delivery. This means that two complete doors can be perfectly insulated with Aluminum Butyl and Acoustic Foam. Both kits contain 4 panels of acoustic foam with a thickness of 7 mm and 2 panels of nubbed foam with a thickness of 15 mm. The ZDK1 contains 8 Aluminum Butyl mats of type 120 dB with a thickness of 1.8 mm, while the ZDK2 recommended for larger systems contains the same number of Aluminum Butyl type 140 dB with a thickness of 2.0 mm.

Small door loudspeakers or small underseat subwoofers do not stimulate the passenger cell or sheet metal to vibrate as much as comparatively full-blown 15 "subwoofers. New luxury vehicles may already have better insulation ex works than comparatively simpler or older vehicles. Since the purpose of use can be very different, HiFonics has different quality levels available depending on the strength of the system or requirements: With the HiFonics ZEUS 120dB Aluminum Butyl Sound Damping Mats, very good results can be achieved for most vehicles. If stronger audio components are used or if a higher level of insulation is to be achieved in principle, the even more attenuating Aluminum Butyl ZEUS 140dB is recommended. HiFonics recommends the ZEUS 160dB, which has the highest attenuation properties, for all those who want to let it "crack" in the vehicle or simply want to be on the safe side. It deadened sheet metal almost perfectly because it has an even better internal density and at the same time an even higher mechanical loss factor. Each pack contains 8 bendable and cut panels with a total area of ​​1.48 square meters, which are sufficient for two doors.
