Zeus ZXE Start-Up

The heart of the HiFonics Zeus Evolution subwoofers is made up of powerful Y35 magnets with a diameter of 140 mm, driving large 64 mm voice coils. These are ventilated with thermally optimized pole core drillings. Additionally, the so-called "bumped" T-plates (pole plates) allow for an even longer excursion, reaching up to +/- 17 mm (X-Max). While budget-friendly woofers typically use pressed cones, the ZXE woofers feature expensive, hand-crafted paper cones that are double-stitched with the surround, known for their exceptional sound quality. All these components give the ZXE subs an extremely high efficiency of 92 and 90 dB at 2.83 volts/1 m, meaning that high volumes can be achieved even with low input.

The Thiele-Small parameters are designed so that the ZXE woofers can be used to build powerful bass reflex enclosures with substantial depth, as well as medium-sized sealed enclosures. Free-air applications are also possible. Visually, the Zeus subs live up to the HF style: a newly tooled gasket, the characteristic blue magnet boot from HiFonics, and the blue-stitched surround cone seam proudly display the HiFonics brand insignia.
