Materion has produced Truextent acoustic beryllium speaker domes, cones and diaphragms for more than 20 years, supplying high-end speaker makers around the globe. Recognized around the world by OEMs and ODMs, Truextent genuine all beryllium acoustic components enable these firms to provide their clientele with unrivaled crystal-clear sound reproduction, thanks to beryllium’s high stiffness-to-weight ratio. This property improves the diaphragm’s pistonic motion, dramatically reducing unwanted distortion or sound “breakup.”
The partnership with Californian-based Radian Audio will enable Materion to offer increased volume to support the growing high-end acoustic industry and support continued growth into the next decade. It also sets the stage for potential future collaborative efforts between the companies in the effort to bring the acoustic benefits of beryllium to a wider audience.
Radian Audio is a fully integrated manufacturer, from concept, design, and assembly of LF and HF transducers. It has a global supply chain to match its domestic and international sales.
“Materion has supplied Radian Audio with premium acoustic beryllium domes, cones and diaphragm assemblies for a number of years,” says Clive Grannum, Chief Operating Officer, Materion Performance Alloys and Composites. “Both companies are focused on producing best-in-class audio components, so joining forces in the form of this partnership ensures that we can meet the increasing demand for high-end speakers.”
“Radian Audio is at the forefront of premium audio development and manufacturing, renowned globally for our great sounding, high quality speakers, and in particular our mastery of diaphragms. It was that search for musicality and excellence that lead us to recognize and maximize the unique properties of beryllium. We strive to be the best, and partnering with Materion on their Truextent Beryllium Dome is a natural evolution toward our commitment to provide the best in audio,” says Dwight Tobiano, Radian's chief operating officer.
As Radian also explains, with the new partnership, the Truextent beryllium diaphragm is assured a place in the premium audio Market. "The synergy between Materion and Radian Audio will afford speaker manufacturers the opportunity to develop the beryllium technology to their specific audio needs – from concept, design, and production, up to the finish product," they state.
