FEATURES
Three-way speaker system designed with Mini-Horn loaded silk dome tweeter and our unique midrange driver which works in extended mid-band effectively making it an Extended-Band driver, allowing us to push crossover frequencies of the drivers further away from the most critical area for the human ear - 1000-1500Hz and thus reduce crossover distortions and perception of them. Two whole new re-designed ER (Extra Rigid) hard paper cone bass drivers deliver faster and deeper bass response and improve overall sound clarity.
 
The Cabinet-In-a-Cabinet enclosure system taken from upper scale Virtuoso series contributes to a complex closed system that eliminates unwanted resonances by turning acoustical energy into heat, allowing all drivers to perform with precision and dynamics.
 
Figaro features outriggers with height-adjustable spikes, WBT NextGen connection terminals with bi-amping for models L and XL, and also a whole new 6 unique never seen before satin finishes with brass metal accents.

MINI-HORN LOADING
Figaro utilizes a Mini-Horn loading technology to cope with the infamous soft domes problem - cone breakup and cone "walk".
 
 
Our Mini-Horn is based on acoustical dampening which happens at the frontal dome area. We carefully measure at which frequencies the dome starts to flex and emit an avalanche of distortions. Mini-Horn then is designed and manufactured according to desired specifications to dampen those frequencies. The result is a proportional dampening of the tweeters’ movement. The louder it plays the more dampening and air pressure on the frontal area it gets from its own emitted sound. It is described as acoustical impedance and is highly dependent on the Mini-Horn's shape. Another positive by-product of this process is that Mini-Horn adds sensitivity and thus the efficiency of the driver.

EXTENDED BAND MIDRANGE
We created an Extended Band Midrange driver—crossover points of 400-4000Hz are one octave away from the sensitive band (1000-2000Hz). Not only this solution helps with crossover distortion perception but the listener gets uniform, unchopped sound coming from one driver with virtually zero phase shift.  Homogenous sound in our opinion is one of the biggest goals in the audio industry.

CABINET-IN-A-CABINET SYSTEM
This system is based on two separate enclosures - an inner cabinet and an outer cabinet bonded together by a thin layer of Polyurethane. The inner cabinet is manufactured of a lightweight yet rigid material that controls primary vibrations by absorbing acoustical power coming from the drivers. Then a thin layer of viscous Polyurethane situated in between the inner and outer cabinets acts as a dampening layer which converts vibrations born in the inner cabinet to heat. The residue of vibrations is then dampened by the outer cabinet which is manufactured of a much heavier and less dense material that acts as a mass damper.

ER CONE BASS DRIVERS
Er stands for Extra Rigid paper. It is actually visible on the cone surface as flakes of hard pulp and fibers and is natural to rigid cones. ER paper cones were chosen due to all the pros of traditional paper cones and the pros of hard material cones. Hard cones (metal, ceramic, etc.) provide uniform push-pull movement where all cone's points act as a uniform piston which is desirable. Con is that hard cones have the potential to have early break-up points and ringing due to a lack of dampening properties inside the material itself. Paper on the other hand does not have break-up points as it is quite soft and flexible but it does not act as a piston, and usually, the edge of the paper cone are fluttering, and all cone is flexing. Having positive properties of paper and introducing hardening materials like sturdy fibers and hard pulp gives us a unique cone that acts as a piston, but at the same time does not have ringing or early cone breakup points. ER cones allowed us to introduce new piston-like bass drivers and of course our Extended Band Midrange.
