Here's what sets RSL apart from the rest of the industry. The way Compression Guide works is by tackling speakers' oldest enemy: resonance.
Resonance is a form of distortion that plagues most speakers… Resonance is the sound you get when you blow across the top of a bottle. It's the sound in the body of an acoustic guitar when a chord is struck. Every speaker enclosure resonates at its own specific frequency. This resonant frequency inevitably mixes with almost every frequency of the movie or music you're listening to resulting in new, unwanted frequencies your movie or music do not actually contain.
These new frequencies mercilessly destroy sound clarity, add color to sound, and drastically slow down the performance of a speaker's woofer. Slower woofer performance means the woofer lags behind the speed of the tweeter, collapsing the sound image. Translation; you lose the realistic detail and clarity in whatever sound your speakers play.
Subwoofers are severely affected by cabinet resonance and inevitably struggle with sloppiness and heavy lag. This is why so many subwoofers don't seamlessly blend with the speakers in the sound system; and always remind you of their presence.
To make a very long story short: resonance is BAD.
Over the years, speaker companies have tried lots of different methods to compensate for enclosure resonance. The use of woofers made of exotic materials and elaborate enclosure designs, are common practices. These techniques don't actually address the real problem, and are costly, which make the speakers more expensive.
Compression Guide (CG) tuning addresses the problem itself. It drastically reduces the amount of resonance produced in the speaker's enclosure. Without enclosure resonance, sound in its purest and cleanest form emanates from the speaker. Compression Guide speakers also feature spectacular imaging.
