Swan Diva technology
Tweeter
All Swans Diva main speakers use an A-grade, hand-selected, high performance 28mm Danish style soft dome tweeter. This device has stood the test of time, and to our knowledge, is superior to anything in the Diva's class. Swan starts with a German silk dome, and adds a Neodymium motor and ferrofluid voice coil cooling. The end result is an exclusive marriage of technology and engineering that gives Swan Diva high frequencies the neutral, open, spacious, and relaxed sound they've become famous for. The 28mm Diva dome tweeter also has very high power handling, very wide dynamic range, and excellent dispersion, features rarely found in-class in Internet-direct distribution.
Midrange / Midbass
For the new Swan Diva series The Audio Insider specified a new cone technology - we requested the finest damped hard paper cone material and the most linear dispersion we could. Each Diva model in the X.2 series therefore features a unique, exclusive new cone technology coupled to Diva's trademark low-distortion motors. We've combined the best of a hard, articulate-sounding cone with a curvilinear profile - like the Kevlar/cellulose hybrid found in the classic Diva 6.1 - with critical damping. The end result is yet another excellent balance of detail, bandwidth, and low cone breakup. When combined with Swan's special motors and a linear suspension, this new midrange driver has very predictable, low-distortion behavior across a very wide range of frequencies.
Woofers
Having succeeded with the new Diva midrange driver technology, we duplicated the cone technology and motor design in larger sizes for the new Diva 5.2 and Diva 6.2's woofers. Once again our distinctive motor technology - lower in distortion than nearly anything in this class - forms the heart of these excellent low frequency drivers. Combined with long throw, linear suspensions, and the rigid new Diva cone material and profile, the new Diva series' bass response is better than ever. Larger cabinets allow even deeper bass extension.
Crossover networks
All Diva models, whether the new X.2 series or original classic X.1 series, rely on in-house crossover assemblies: Swan is highly vertically integrated and makes most components from proprietary designs, including drivers and crossover components, including their excellent linear-wound, heavy-gage air core inductors. High-grade polypropylene capacitors round out these circuits, and all designs are formulated and tuned in the largest test chamber in the East.
Cabinets
No great speaker is complete without a complimenting enclosure and Swans Diva is no different. Each bentwood Diva cabinet is comprised of individual hand-laid strakes applied to a series of CNC-milled internal bulkheads. The final enclosure is finished in lacquer. Glossy piano black endcaps complete the Diva's cabinets and give speakers a rich, opulent, furniture grade look and feel. A Swan Diva is an audio investment that not only lasts a very long time, but holds its value and always returns a sense of owner pride.
