BG Planar Ribbon Technology Concept Key Benefits BG’s Radia Planar Ribbon technology consists of an extremely thin, low mass, high-temperature polymer diaphragm as a carrier for flat aluminum conductors made via a special etching process. This is suspended within a symmetrical magnetic field created by a double sided (push-pull) Neodymium magnet structure. As the alternating electrical current of the musical signal flows though the conductors, the diaphragm moves in and out producing sound.
Warranty WARRANTY: All BG loudspeaker systems are warranted to the original purchaser for life against defects in materials and manufacture when used in properly designed systems. The warranty is five years for the Z-Sub. Please record your loudspeaker’s information below for future reference.
