[. . . ] FCM8 THX Home Cinema Mon itor Product Summary q Front speakers provide localised sound imaging for the action on the screen. [. . . ] Since the speakers are Acoustically Voice Matched, the dispersion ensures that sound which pans across the screen does not change character or 'timbre'. q Each Front Cinema Monitor has a vertical phased array of three tweeters, carefully positioned to achieve the required controlled directivity in the vertical plane. In this tweeter, developed from the unit used in the industry-acclaimed B&W Matrix 801, the ceramic coated alloy diaphragm is attached to a new low-hysteresis suspension to further improve its dynamic capability. Technical highlights Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests. MatrixTM: The basic construction of nearly all loudspeakers is exactly the same panels of wood-based materials, bonded to form a rectangular box.
