How it Works
In a dramatic departure from conventional cone transducers that displace air across a single diaphragm, the Tymphany LAT displaces air using a linear array of multiple smaller diaphragms. The result is a more efficient transducer geometry for a given SPL. The balanced drive design is comprised of a series of coupled diaphragms that are driven by opposing end motors. One motor drives half of the diaphragms, while the other motor drives the other half in opposition. Sound radiates through multiple flow ports along the side of the housing. The transducer can be mounted either horizontally or vertically into much shallower and narrower boxes than conventional drivers.
Features
* Efficient Form Factor - The revolutionary Tymphany LAT brings bass where it could never go before as a result of its breakthrough design and sleek profile. For example, the Tymphany LAT 500 packs the power of two 10” subwoofers into a thin tube-shaped transducer only 5” wide, and the Tymphany LAT 700 offers the equivalent of two 12” subwoofers in a streamlined 7” width.
* Vibration Free - The Tymphany LAT is vibration free, offering a bass sound with minimal or no artefacts. Unlike conventional cone-shaped transducers, the Tymphany LAT has been designed with opposing end motors that cancel out structural vibration, so the transducer does not shake and will not transmit structure-born vibrations to critical circuitry in consumer products. Having done away with mechanical vibration, the Tymphany LAT contributes to system stability, and eliminates the potential for rattle or buzz that vibration can cause in audio systems.

Anyone ever had a chance to see or hear a sub like this? They look ideal for use in a car - really compact. Comments?
