Upon its release, Earthquake’s MAGMA-X drivers toppled DB drag records one by one like a bowling ball rolling through the lane. The MAGMA-12X effectively converts electrical energy into physical movement with a mechanical construction of superior quality, evident in the almost absurd over-building of all components.

This is further enhanced by adding TCT (Turbine Cooled Transducer) technology. TCT is a patented earthquake-exclusive technology that implements a fixed turbine vane impeller in the magnet gap. It forces the drawn-in air to rotate in a vortex pattern against the aluminum voice coil, exponentially increasing the surface contact of the cooling air. The result is a 3db increase in sound output at rated power compared to the same transducer without TCT.

The intelligent MAGMA-X design with an overbuilt motor system results in a device that is always electrically controlled by the amplifier. The strong reactive electromagnetic coupling ensures the woofer remains compression-free and will not dampen itself mechanically. The high edge surround combined with the super spider allows for huge excursion. The driver’s electrically controlled and mechanically unhampered movement results in a transient response with previously unheard-of dynamic capability.
