ZR 18 DD is a state-of-the-art Hand-Crafted, direct-drive mid-woofer. It is probably the best-known speaker from ZR Speaker Lab since 2004 when it was introduced for the first time. Direct drive without crossover enables the speaker to operate without phase-shifts, and with maximum dynamic combined with the live sound-stage.
All components of the speaker are chosen to be in tune with each other, giving the sound that is impossible to get with any other speaker. The main components are the light-weight cone, resonance-free basket, optimum power of the motor, quick and precise voice- coil and specially chosen spider. It effortlessly follows the amplitudes of the amplifier, which results in a transparent sound with the extraordinary dynamic in full range of the speaker.
