<br>All the information listed below concerns the history of [Audio](https://www.zycoo.com/products/) Tecnology is taken of "The Danish loudspeaker 100 year anniversary" book and we are really grateful to the authors of the book for such an important work.<br>

<br>Audio Technology was established by Ejvind and Per Skaaning in 1990 based on an idea of building little series of speaker motorists for customers that wished to have some degree of influence regarding electrical and mechanical criteria, along with look and style of the loudspeaker.<br>[reference.com](https://www.reference.com/science-technology/troubleshooting-common-issues-computer-microphone?ad=dirN&qo=serpIndex&o=740005&origq=network+microphone+console)

<br>6" motorist with 3" voice coil.
|

First chauffeur established by [Audio](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zycoo-co-ltd/) Technology was the 6" driver. Audio Technology names its Flexunits motorists after the emissive cone size, due to the fact that they run with lots of various front ring sizes and shapes. Front rings can vary a number of centimeters, regardless of using the exact same cone size. The physical shape of the chauffeurs was quickly developed and because it would not be limited by physical dimensions, like heights, etc it was decided, the driver chassis must consist of two rings - a front ring and a middle ring, connected by spacers and bolted together. An extremely flexible construction, that led straight to the name - Flexunits. 6" Flexunits was completed with concerns to the physical construction, however the shape of the cone was still to be developed. It was done according to the 'Experimentation' concept and went on for month. Great deals of tests, measurements and disposed of cones saw the day of light. Fortunately, this brought a great deal of experience and the procedure of finding the best geometry of the cone got simpler for the motorists to come.
|
||||
Sonus Faber (Italian speaker manufacturer) was currently thinking about such a chauffeur, so turnover and sales was guaranteed from start.
|
||||
The chauffeur, utilized in Sonus Faber EXTREMA, was thus the very first commercially used motorist of Audio Technology. It was produced with the Sonus Faber logo on the special shaped front as well as a created cone by the ideas of Franco Serblin. About 2000 Extrema mid-woofers have been produced, and the sales of these motorists, have actually contributed importantly to the continuous foundation and development of Audio Technology. Next beginner was a 10" unit, also with 3" voice coil, however here advancement was somewhat much faster. The physical design was simply a concern of increasing the size of the existing parts, however the cone structure development proved yet again to be rather time consuming. Then, a 4" system was prepared and the need for a smaller voice coil took place. Like the 3" voice coil winding tool, the 2" tool was made as an adjustable tool to produce coils with many possible winding heights. Voice coil previous placed into the tool can be altered by 5 millimeter periods and winding heights to nearly any given objective. Also, the impedance can be of your own option.

The 4" Flexunits was constructed on the basis of the same concepts and from then cone building set to an ideal geometry went quick. Experience does matter ...
|
||||
Hereafter, the 5" Flexunits was made and it rapidly ended up being a popular size chauffeur. A not too huge a motorist, that has the ability to produce relatively large noise in a small cabinet. Many loudspeaker makes around the world have ended up being well-known for producing speakers with great sound, on the basis of this motorist. Also the Danish Hi-Fi publication Highfidelity, launched a DIY project 'Speak & Abyss' with the 5" Flexunits. Due to the narrow structure of the 5" driver, it was required to change the building and construction of the basket. Instead of installing the screws noticeably from the front, a row of treats were concealed under the rubber-surround, permitting a rather smaller sized assembly. This action was quickly embraced into the other chauffeurs. 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", 12", and 15" chauffeurs were now available (1994) - some with 2" voice coil just - others with both 3" and 4" voice coils.<br>

<br>C-Quenze shows up
|
||||
Until now, all drivers were built with the bolted together chassis, but in 2001 a brand-new series occurs - the C-Quenze series. This series of motorists are in every element constructed from the very same parts and material as the Flexunits, with exception of the frame. It is now a cast frame. This indicates the flexibility is reduced, however some criteria can still be changed. The cones are also changed as the energy is taken into getting a somewhat wider bandwidth. As this chauffeur is a bit more cost-effective than the Flexunits, it ends up being quite popular, however still, there are clients that want what they call 'The real thing'.<br>
|
||||
<br>In 2009, the Sandwich Cones appears. It is made from 2 fairly thin carbon reinforced paper skins, which are glued together with expanding foam glue. The structure is light, however really stiff.<br>
|
||||
<br>LR - magnet system
|
||||
Last initiative is drivers with an aerodynamic magnet system - the LR system (2012 ).
|
||||
The pole plates are rounded to an aerodynamic shape, avoiding aero sounds and distortion from the chauffeur. The LR system comes just with the 120 mm magnet so far.

Today, Audio Technology ApS is still owned by Per Skaaning and 2 of his siblings.<br>

<br>Timeline.
|
||||
1990 - Audio Technology ApS was established.<br>
|
||||
<br>1991 - First business speaker system using Audio Technology motorists is evaluated in German Magazine [Audio](https://www.zycoo.com/coovox/) under the heading: "Nur fliegen ist schöner" meaning: "Only flying is Nicer".<br>
|
||||
<br>1993 - Guarneri Homage of Sonus Faber is introduced. The motorist for this speaker is the greatest number of Flexunits produced. Copy No 001, is put in the Violin Museum in Vicenza.<br>
|
||||
<br>1994 - The greatest Flexunits - 15" - is completed. The first Flexunits with 4" voice coil, suggesting excellent power handling. Four pairs were offered to Ace of Base studios in Sweden.<br>
|
||||
<br>1995 - The Parcifal of Verity Audio in Canada is introduced. A very popular speaker that has actually been produced in basically the very same style for 20 years.<br>
|
||||
<br>1999 - The KA system sees the dawn of light. Full bodied bass at low levels, integrated with excellent damping at X-max is possible.<br>
|
