This gives it an incredibly solid connection to the voice-coil, as well as stabilising its form – which is crucial when you decide to turn it up to 11. (So now, finally, the Third Violin section can have its day in the sun.) And, like all our other MSP cones, it’s a one-piece design (you can tell by the special balance ribs around the central dust-cap). It minimises upper harmonics to further tighten the performance and make it possible not only to pick out individual parts in a piece of music, but even individual instruments in an orchestra. Behind it sits our asymmetrical spider – our passive harmonic rectifier. The cone itself uses a painstakingly developed symmetrical excursion for even better midrange performance. And, unlike other cone materials, it doesn’t change over time – so your Special Forty speakers will still be singing just as sweetly come our next anniversary. MSP delivers precisely the right combination of rigidity, damping and stability for the most faithful sound reproduction. The Special Forty uses our proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) material for its main driver. Its specially selected components handle the impedance optimisation and, because both drivers have extended frequency ranges for even better overlap and integration, that performance borders on the mesmerising. The crossover expertly marshals the input signal between the woofer and the tweeter – so each driver gets only the frequencies it’s supposed to, and can perform at its very best. That’s why it has one of our classic first-order crossover designs, incorporating our unique Phase Alignment and Impedance Alignment technologies. We’ve remixed, remastered and rearranged things to bring those old favourites into 2017 – and beyond. ![]() But we haven’t just got the old band back together to trot out the same old stuff, unchanged. Of course, it wouldn’t be an anniversary speaker if it didn’t include some of our greatest hits. So, as a nod back to classics including the Special One, the Special Twenty-Five, the Crafft and the Contour 1.3SE, we kept the Special Forty pure – if incredibly advanced. ![]() Brains have their own ways of processing information around us to ensure our survival.We do compact speakers really well. For example, we see our nose almost all the time but our brain decides to filter that information out because it just isn’t useful to us on a daily basis. But now that you know, you can’t stop seeing your nose. ![]() Similarly, when we hear audio frequencies, the brain decides which ones to keep, which to amplify, and how to interpret ambiguous signals. Every sound we make and hear comes with its own frequency. “Our brain chooses sounds that are comfortable to it.” “It is possible that I hear the name Laurel because I know someone by that name or the word is familiar to me,” explains Rexy Varkey, senior audiologist at Manasa Cochlear Implant and ENT centre, Bangalore.ĭepending on what we expect and what we’re used to hearing, the brain amplifies certain frequencies for us to notice them. So people who hear Laurel have their brains more tuned in to the frequencies produced by the Laurel than Yanny. Because of this familiarity, shaped by past experiences, their brains choose to amplify frequencies that will result in the word Laurel. The sounds “l” and “r” are heard more at lower frequencies, while “y” and “ee” at higher. Here, you can hear Laurel at lower frequencies and Yanny at higher ones. If you can hear high freqs, you probably hear "yanny", but you *might* hear "laurel". If you can't hear high freqs, you probably hear laurel. Here's what it sounds like without high/low freqs. #yanny #laurel ? /RN71WGyHweĭespite objective proof I still think it’s #Laurel /RcJpZZncRC RT so we can avoid the whole dress situation. What we hear also depends very much on our devices. Inexpensive earphones can often filter out certain frequencies, especially on the higher side, resulting in Yanny.Īn interactive NYT tool allows us to use a slider to figure out when the names change. ![]()
