Speakers ESB Audio 9.6W

ESB Audio 9000 series speakers

The ESB 9000 series speakers (Novemila) proudly belong to the high-end segment and belong to the most technologically advanced car speakers ever made. And also to the most elegant ones! Technology and design come together in a new and unusual aesthetic, thanks to the exceptional flower shape around the tweeter membrane and also on the bass and center speaker baskets. However, this luxurious design was not only created from an aesthetic point of view. It is an expression of innovation that will allow the acoustic refraction at the edges of the tweeters to be less pronounced and adapt to the design of the speakers. An analogy can be found in the new Rolls-Royce engines for state-of-the-art aircraft, which have the same shape on the trailing edge. Exactly where the air comes out and the main turbulence is created. With the new design, these engines have achieved great benefits such as a 10 dB reduction in cabin noise and at the same time a 10% reduction in fuel consumption. However, this is not just a coincidence. The designs of high-end ESB speakers and Rolls-Royce engines are based on the same assumption, namely to reduce undesirable sound characteristics at the edge of the speakers and engines respectively, and to effectively direct the air flow outwards. However, this is only one of the many exclusive technologies that you will find in the 9000 model series. It includes a total of six high-end separate components, two 2-band component systems and three 3-band systems, which will amaze you not only with their sound, but also with their unconventional luxury design and exceptional materials.

Mid-bass speakers ESB Audio 9.6W

The ESB Audio 9.6W loudspeakers impress at first sight with their unusual design, led by a carbon membrane, a beautiful basket in a floral design and an optional grille made of CNC-machined aluminum. The membrane is made of vacuum- and autoclave-pressed high-strength carbon with a module shaped by the M+F system. This guarantees the perfect geometry and adhesion of the carbon fibers to each other, resulting in a material with extreme stiffness, a very high ability to transmit sound, but also with excellent internal damping. And all this at a very low weight and constant performance, because carbon is insensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Part of the membrane is a dust cover also made of carbon fibers, thus forming one perfect whole. When using a large-sized coil, the shape, weight and stiffness of the duster have a major impact on ensuring deep, fast and dynamic bass. The NBL rubber suspension has a shape designed to provide a very smooth, low yaw movement that becomes more and more controlled as you approach the limit. This also contributes to the fact that this speaker is extremely dynamic and able to handle big performances. Also worth mentioning is the powder-coated speaker basket made of cast aluminum, which offers very little resistance to the passage of air and its shape reduces vibrations and resonances. The extremely large voice coil ensures one of the highest outputs in its class and guarantees unsurpassed speaker performance and dynamics. The design of this voice coil allows it to remain completely immersed in the magnetic field for most of its excursion, thus minimizing distortion. The front of the voice coil is made of aluminum with ventilation holes and is black anodized for better heat dissipation. The recessed voice coil has a shorter winding length than the height of the magnetic gap, allowing for lower distortion at lower excursions and more precise control over voice coil movement. The generously dimensioned and very strong neodymium magnet is resistant to high to high temperatures and makes it possible to significantly reduce the size and volume of the magnetic motor. The equivalent magnetic force with a ferrite magnet would require larger dimensions than the entire speaker. A pole plate obtained by numerically controlled machine, rather than by pressing, greatly reduces design tolerances for the benefit of performance. A number of ducts supply cooling air, increasing the woofer's performance and lifespan.

Main features of ESB Audio 9.6W mid-bass speakers

• Diaphragm with a diameter of 165 mm from vacuum-pressed high-strength carbon.
• Dust box also made of carbon fiber to ensure deep, fast and dynamic bass.
• The NBL rubber suspension is shaped to provide a very smooth, low-sway movement that becomes increasingly controlled as the limit is approached.
• A CNC-machined aluminum ring ensures perfect fixing and centering of the rubber diaphragm suspension on the edge.
• Voice coil/diaphragm connection sleeve that spreads the pressure on the diaphragm over a large area to reduce distortion and distortion.
• The large Conex™ spider provides linear excursion in both directions, reducing distortion.
• The extremely large voice coil with a diameter of 76 mm ensures unsurpassed speaker performance and dynamics. The design of this voice coil allows it to remain completely immersed in the magnetic field for most of its excursion, thus minimizing distortion.
• The powder-coated speaker basket made of cast aluminum offers very little resistance to the passage of air, and its shape reduces vibration and resonance.
• CNC machined pole plate from extremely low carbon steel. Special internal ventilation ensures a long service life of the oscillating coil.
• The generously dimensioned and very strong neodymium magnet is resistant to high to high temperatures and makes it possible to significantly reduce the size and volume of the magnetic motor.
• Gold-plated terminals help save space and prevent the loss of precious power generated by the amplifier.
• The magnetic board designed using magnetic flux analysis software allows for perfect and homogeneous saturation of the magnetic gap to benefit coil lift, reduce distortion and increase dynamics.
• The package includes a design aluminum grille machined on CNC.

About the ESB Audio brand

The history of ESB Audio dates back to 1972, when this Italian brand was officially founded. ESB audio is one of the most famous speaker system manufacturers of the second half of the 20th century, and during their rich history they have launched many innovative technologies and many high-end home audio products that have achieved huge worldwide success. Based on the experience gained, in 1984, ESB engineers began to engage in research aimed at optimizing sound in the automotive environment, and two years later began the production of the first car speakers. Thanks to the great success, ESB began to focus more and more on the automotive industry and its demanding challenges. Car Audio is becoming a phenomenon of the time, and in 2005 a school dedicated exclusively to vehicle sound was founded in the city of Aprilia, where ESB is based. It was then that the final decision was made to leave the world of home audio and focus exclusively on vehicle sound systems. Currently, ESB belongs to the Italian company Apex Group together with the American manufacturer of audiophile amplifiers and DSP processors Zapco. In the offer you will find several model lines of speakers, led by the super high-end Diecimila three-way system, which represents probably the best quality and most expensive car speakers on the market today. And that is the main mission of ESB audio. To produce speakers of the highest quality, focused on faithful sound, which will allow the user to reproduce as the interpreter intended. Exactly according to the company's slogan "Just like live".
