Tymphany Corporation Announces First Tymphany Linear Array Transducer Products and Alpine Electronics Design Win; New Tymphany LAT Products Represent Major Subwoofer Technology Breakthrough.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- Tymphany(TM) Corporation, a leader in innovative audio solutions, today introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the Tymphany LAT 500 and Tymphany LAT 700, the first products based on its revolutionary, patent-pending Linear Array Transducer transducer, device that accepts an input of energy in one form and produces an output of energy in some other form, with a known, fixed relationship between the input and output. (LAT) technology. Tymphany also announced that Alpine Electronics Alpine Electronics, Inc. (アルパイン株式会社 , the world's leading automotive specialist for premium sound systems, is introducing new automotive aftermarket Aftermarket See: Secondary market. aftermarket See secondary market. Tymphany LAT-based products. The Alpine Powered LAT Subwoofer A speaker that reproduces the lower end of the audio spectrum. A subwoofer system may include a crossover circuit which switches frequencies at approximately 100Hz and under to the subwoofer, while passing the rest of the signal to the main speakers. Systems received a 2006 CES Innovations Design and Engineering award in the Vehicle Audio Category. The Tymphany LAT 500 and Tymphany LAT 700 products represent the first significant breakthrough in subwoofer technology in many decades. The Tymphany LAT 500 packs the power of two 10-inch subwoofers into a sleek, efficient, tube-shaped package that is approximately 5 inches in diameter and 15 inches long. It can generate sound across a range of frequencies from 30 to 300 Hz. The Tymphany LAT 700 is the equivalent of two 12-inch subwoofers in a streamlined 7-inch profile that is 18 inches long. It has a frequency range of 20 to 200 Hz. "The Tymphany LAT has captured the imagination of OEMs in many markets because it takes subwoofers to their next level of performance and design," said Ken Kantor, Tymphany's Chief Technology Officer. "The unique form factor and slim profile mean an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and designer can differentiate and aesthetically enhance their consumer and professional audio offerings, while improving the bass performance. Our first Tymphany LAT products are especially suited to automotive aftermarket and professional audio applications. Coming soon, even smaller versions will extend the product's reach into the automotive OEM, flat panel television, PC multimedia and personal audio markets." New Alpine Tymphany LAT-Based Offerings The Alpine PLT-5 and PLV-7 Powered LAT Subwoofer Systems feature the Tymphany LAT 500 and Tymphany LAT 700, respectively. The Tymphany LAT subwoofers are paired with Alpine's new PDX PDX Product Data Exchange (file name extension; XML technology) PDX Paradox Files (file name extension) PDX Product Definition Exchange PDX Phone Data Exchange (Proxon) digital switching amplifiers A switching amplifier or class-D amplifier is a electronic amplifier where the active devices (especially in the output stage) are operated in on/off mode (i.e., as switches). The term "Class-D" is often assumed to mean "digital" amplifier, which is not correct. and Whise Automotive's Ultra Reflex enclosure design technology. The new car audio subwoofers are ideal for space-constrained vehicles. Now it is no longer necessary to fill a trunk or an entire back seat with the equipment needed to accommodate the bulk of a conventional subwoofer. The Powered LAT Subwoofers are on display at CES in the Alpine booth in the North Hall, room N116, and in the Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase in the Sands Expo The Sands Expo and Convention Center, at 1.2 million square feet (110,000 m²), is the second largest convention center in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. It opened in 1990 across the street from the original Sands Hotel. and Convention Center in the Innovations Plus Design and Engineering Booth, #72444, and in Tymphany's Suite at the Las Vegas Hilton The Las Vegas Hilton is a hotel, casino, and convention center in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a joint venture between Colony Capital, which owns 60 percent, and New York City-based REIT Whitehall Street Real Estate Funds, which owns the remaining 40 percent. , Suite #2822. "We believe the Tymphany LAT technology is helping to revolutionize our subwoofer product offerings, and especially products for trucks and SUVs -- vehicles that typically have little or no space to devote to large, traditional cone-shaped subwoofers," says Stephen Witt, Alpine's vice president of Marketing. "When we branded our product, it made sense to incorporate the name of this technology because the Tymphany LAT forms the foundation of this new class of subwoofer systems." About The Tymphany LAT Technology The Tymphany LAT is the first audio transducer to bring great bass in a uniquely slim, narrow shape, making it ideal for space-constrained consumer applications, such as automotive and lifestyle products. This efficient form factor is the result of a dramatic departure from conventional cone transducer assembly. Instead of displacing air across a single diaphragm diaphragm (dī`əfrăm'), term used to describe any of several large muscles, found in humans and other mammals, which separate two adjacent regions of the body. The most commonly known muscle of this class is the thoraco-abdominal diaphragm. , the Tymphany LAT displaces air using a linear array of multiple smaller diaphragms. These smaller diaphragms are fitted into a streamlined cylindrical shape, packing huge amounts of power into an impressively small space. The Tymphany LAT is also virtually vibration-free, thus eliminating the potential for the rattling or buzzing that vibration can cause in audio systems. The multiple small diaphragms, which are connected to two opposing motor structures by balanced sets of piston rods, work in a push-push operation that cancels both distortion and mechanical vibration Mechanical vibration The continuing motion, repetitive and often periodic, of a solid or liquid body within certain spatial limits. Vibration occurs frequently in a variety of natural phenomena such as the tidal motion of the oceans, in rotating and stationary . Tymphany LAT Products -- Availability The Tymphany LAT 500 and Tymphany LAT 700 are fully customizable by Tymphany's acoustic engineering experts to meet the unique needs and requirements of an OEM customer's application. Other versions of the Tymphany LAT will be announced and available throughout 2006. More information about the products is available at: http://www.tymphany.com/products_Tymphany_LAT.html. Tymphany also announced today that it has merged the Peerless and Vifa brands of audio transducers under the Peerless label, and it introduced several innovative new Peerless products for both the home and car audio markets. About Tymphany Tymphany Corporation is the leading provider of innovative, high quality audio transducers and acoustical engineering Acoustical engineering is the branch of engineering dealing with sound and vibration.
