Overview
Audiophile Performance
In A Toolless Design
Nice SC3 delivers outstanding performance and flexibility with six models, all featuring black Kevlar woofers, and 1.25″ aluminum magnesium tweeters, which are 56.3% larger than their 1″ cousins. This results in more power at a lower crossover point, enhanced off-axis power response, and low-distortion.
Kevlar is thin, stiff and light weight which improves transient response and dynamics, aluminum magnesium alloy has superior dampening properties, rigidity and strength- delivering impeccable detail. SC3 introduces a copper shorting ring (Faraday shield) into the design, which helps reduce distortion, improve efficiency while achieving a more consistent impedance across the frequency range.
The asymmetrical crossover with a 3rd-order network encompassing 2nd-order LPF on woofer and 3rd-order HFP on the tweeter ensures superior integration between the woofer and tweeter. Compensation for inter driver time delay. A three-position tweeter level switch for fine tuning the high frequencies, and two position voice switch to allow fine tuning of the soundstage and vocal focus to taste.
This combination is typical in high-end audiophile speakers, and yields an exceptional crisp, clear and dynamic musical performance.
Key Features
- AccuAim — allows the tweeter to click-lock into a fixed angle that can be precisely replicated on other speakers in the system. This improves phase accuracy to pinpoint the sweet spot, and fine tune the soundstage.
- ViseLock™ designed by Swarm — allows a rapid toolless install with the benefits of a patented clamping system of spring-loaded doglegs that snap into place instantly, securing the speaker. Thumb-levered cinches, lock and hold the installation for added stability- preventing spring sag for many years of service.
- XmaG — precision pole piece extends significantly beyond the woofer’s voice coil travel path ensuring a consistent magnetic field- this results in a more linear response at all levels, lower distortion and clearer, more accurate sound reproduction. Loud AND Clear!
- Metal is stronger than Plastic — Custom designed metal frames are stiffer, more stable, with less transmission loss through the ceiling than typical injection molded frames.
- Rust Resistant Grills — All models include a paintable bezelless stainless-steel grill, which resists rust naturally. In-wall models include a rectangular grill.
