Audio Dynamics – Exceptional Acumen Conducive To Exceptional Products
Conceived in Missouri during 1993 and stemming from the audacious aural ambitions of Aaron White; Audio Dynamics is a company built upon the bedrock foundations of vast knowledge, accumulated experience and engineering acumen. A vessel created for the purpose of allowing Aaron and his team of astute engineers to freely express their exceptional expertise and craftsmanship. During its tenure Audio Dynamics has successfully realised Aaron’s vision of creating a vast stable of superb quality audio products; products that combine exceptional design methodologies and meticulous construction with a delectable and a most realistic musical performance.

Master Series – Accuracy Beyond Astounding
Not everyone is looking to be hammered into submission. On the contrary there’s an echelon of discerning audiophiles who desire supreme sound quality above all else. Articulated deep bass, delectably controlled midrange, and supremely accurate highs. Barriers are there to be broken, and budget is of secondary concern. This is the territory of the superb Master series from Audio Dynamics. Developed with every detail heavily scrutinised; the Master drivers are as close to aural perfection and can be found.

Design Ideologies
To achieve the level of perfection required for the Master range, Audio Dynamics teamed up with U.S. speaker engineer Dan Wiggins, an absolute master of his craft. With several patents under his belt during his almost half century tenure, Dan has designed speakers for fortune 500 companies, top quality PA systems, recording engineer’s reference speakers in top studios around the world and high-end microphones used by Grammy award winning musicians. He also personally knows Wolfgang Klippel and was tasked with setting up the very first Klippel in the world!

Rising Beyond Limits Previous
Audio Dynamics’ superb Master series drivers were designed to shatter the perception of what was thought possible in modern car audio. Designed, developed, manufactured and perfected without the constraints of budget restrictions; the Master series are absolute world leaders in sound quality, displaying industry leading performance no matter what is asked of them.

The Middle Marvel
The Master series M3 midrange is a low distortion wideband midrange. This midrange has high stroke, natural very wide bandwidth and high power handling. It features a 38.1 mm / 1.5″ voice coil for high power handling and strong motor force.

Superior Excursion
The M3 midrange features a split-gap design which provides +/- 4.5 mm of linear excursion, about double of most 3″ / 75 mm midranges. This lowers distortion over the operational range and allows this midrange to play at least half an octave lower in frequency, allowing better imaging and sonic cohesion.

Internal Shorting Rings
The M3 midrange has multiple copper shorting rings within its magnetic structure. These features result in exceptionally low inductance at all operational frequencies and across the entire stroke. This further extends bandwidth as well as reduces motional inter-modulation distortion for a much more open and natural midrange.

Advanced Diaphragm
The M3 midrange uses a thermo-fused woven, strand-oriented-chain hardened polyolefin thermoplastic polymer cone. This cone features very high strength due to the strand orientation of the polyolefin monomer chains, and exceptional internal damping from the polyolefin itself. The thermal fusing ensures an air-tight surface without degrading the woven feature and strand orientation. The result is a cone with over 600 MPa of tensile strength, vastly superior internal damping as compared to carbon and glass fibers; along with a density of just 0.9 g / cm³ , approximately 40% that of carbon fiber.

Holding It All Together
The M3 midrange basket is also extremely open and holds the motor structure at the rear, so that basket-based reflections back up to the cone are minimised. Use of a shallow split gap motor structure and custom tooled basket, surround, cone and spider result in a very shallow mounting depth so the midrange can be placed as high as possible within a vehicle, to raise the stereo image up near the head of the listener.

Protecting Your Investment
The M3 midrange comes with a chemically etched steel grille featuring an anti-resonant hole-pattern with size of opening optimized for dispersion. The grille is mounted to the midrange with a friction-fit gasket ensuring vibration-free operation and eliminating visible screws.
