All need raw power, but every application of power requires finesse too. Sometimes, measuring the smallest things entails the largest machines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout control and refinement, power is just an unruly force. Any large loudspeaker can play loud, but that’s only part of its purpose. The listener must also be able to pick out the subtlest detail from the hullabaloo of an orchestral crescendo or hear an exclamation of appreciation in the midst of an explosive drum solo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoya M1 delivers this precision to the Nth degree, while also being able to reproduce rock concert levels of sound in your living room.

But why eight drivers? It all comes down to efficiency and power handling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompared to the two C225s of our Giya G1 Spirit model, Moya features four times the driver complement, which equates to an extra 6db of efficiency. In Moya we chose to use some of that gain to push the low frequency extension below 20Hz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the voice coil runs out of magnetic road it manifests in obvious distortion. But something less obvious is also happening. The power going into the coil also heats it up, causing resistance to rise and efficiency to drop – as much as 6dB if the coil gets up to 230°C. Now a subtle degradation of the loud passages creeps in. And a tired speaker creates a dull listening experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeeping a check on power compression calls for a large area of voice coil, hence a large diameter coil. Eight drivers, each with a 100mm voice coil, is the same as having 400mm voice coils on a pair of drivers. Even the most powerful 21 inch drivers have no more than a 150mm voice coil, let alone 400mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMASTERING THE SEQUENCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next question was which driver to put next in the sequence. The C125-75 midrange, used in our G1S speaker, is a great driver but would be excursion limited down to 400Hz to keep up with the immense output of the lower frequency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlternatively, taking the eight bass drivers up to 400Hz would be pushing the limits of what was reasonable for such a large array. Clearly, another frequency band was needed to bridge the gap, necessitating a complex five-way crossover and the addition of a pair of C175 bass\/mid drivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing computer-aided network analysis and optimisation, in conjunction with ideally-behaved drivers, a seamless five-way dividing network was perfectly achievable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow the delicate balance of highs, lows and mids was perfectly harmonised – for an optimal experience that will reveal new details from your record collection at every listening session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTWEETERS MINING MATERIAL GAINS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExotic tweeter dome materials appeared in the audio world as far back as the 1990s.
