1946-1979 Amplifier & Subwoofer Combination Pioneer HVT
Horizontal-Vertical Transforming (HVT) technology is a truly groundbreaking approach in loudspeaker design. HVT technology uses a unique linkage mechanism, which allows the magnet and voice coil of a speaker to be positioned at the left and the right side of the speaker diaphragm. This opposed to conventional loudspeaker systems, where the magnet and voice coil have to be placed behind the speaker’s diaphragm. HVT technology brings significant advantages in comparison to conventional speaker designs, both sound wise and on a practical level.
Distortion: no more
Loudspeakers have to vibrate to turn audio signals into audible music. However, any unwanted vibrations of the loudspeakers will distort the musical signal. The Horizontal-Vertical Transforming topology that is used in the TS-WH500A results in far less unwanted vibrations, compared to traditional speaker designs. As a consequence, the sound is much cleaner and free of harmonic distortion.
