Reference 1
The Reference One tweeters are designed to complement the Reference One woofers. It incorporates an optimized silk diaphragm that combines very low mass, superb damping, and a carefully calculated dome profile. A tuned rear chamber, supported by a rugged diaphragm assembly is designed to blend seamlessly with the incredibly articulate, specially developed anodized aluminum mid-woofer. This unique 1-1/8" silk dome and a state-of-the-art motor system ensure that high frequency content is reproduced as transparently as possible, assuring unbeatable performance.
The Reference Series Woofer utilizes a super low-distortion motor system with two short-circuit paths and a rigid but light black anodized aluminum cone. The low-distortion characteristics and high excursion capabilities provide exceptional clarity, detail, and wonderful dynamics. They also feature a low restriction cast frame, low-loss rubber surround, and a solid aluminum phase plug. When these components are combined in the Wathen Reference Tension/Rib enclosure, the outcome is extremely live and engaging with no fatigue.
