The quality of music recordings available to listeners has evolved. Hi-Res Audio recordings contain significantly more data compared to a standard CD recording and require a loudspeaker that is capable of smoothly reproducing frequencies of 40kHz or higher.  The Z speakers are designed to deliver sound that’s clearer, sharper and more complex – reproducing music that is closer to the original performance.

The Z tweeter’s aluminum alloy diaphragm allows the tweeter to remain pistonic and linear at ultrasonic frequencies.  The unique diaphragm shape, developed using HSDOM (Harmonized Synthetic Diaphragm Optimum Method) computer analysis, accurately controls differential vibration produced by the diaphragm and improves high frequency dispersion.  Pioneer’s Vertex Drive System improves the mechanical coupling of the voice coil and the tweeter diaphragm, reducing distortion and coloration caused by low damping and increasing power handling.

Twaron is a synthetic aramid fiber that is very strong, heat resistant and rigid when woven into a cloth material.  Cellulose fibers are naturally self-damping and reduce unwanted resonance.  The TS-Z65CH dual layer cone, constructed with both a Twaron layer and a cellulose layer, combines the strengths of both materials.  The result is fast response and clear bass, with low coloration and distortion.
