V-PLANAR DRIVERS FOR INCREDIBLY LOW DISTORTION The Ether CX is built around MrSpeakers’ single-ended planar driver with patented V-Planar technology A conventional planar driver is assumed to move as a flat surface In truth this isn’t imaginable as the driver is inelastic and “locked” on the boundaries so the driver moves more as a bowed surface than a flat plane V-Planar technology addresses this issue by deeply creasing the diaphragm allowing it to “accordion” when going through the larger motions required by bass notes Much as pleats allow an accordion to expand and contract without stretching the fabric the creases in the driver “open” moderately right through larger excursions In conjunction with pushing more air at low frequencies V-Planar delivers better dynamics high-end frequency response and measurably lower distortion In the Ether CX the distortion is lower than 0 5 percent in the low bass and no more than 0 1 percent from 60 Hz to 9 kHz
