SLAM is unique and is patent pending, we avoid altering sound by adding passive filters in the path of sound.
To create dynamic, controlled bass (the kind that hits with precision and depth), you need three critical components: good driver control, a solid seal and precisely calibrated tension. We already nailed the driver control through our Uniforce and Fluxor technologies, but great bass demands more.
Here's the challenge: a tight seal is crucial for deep bass, but it also exerts additional pressure on ultra-thin diaphragms. While less tension may enhance bass, it can lead to issues like the diaphragm sticking to the stator, or require spacing the stators further apart, reducing efficiency. Balancing a perfect seal, maintaining optimal tension, and delivering powerful bass while preserving driver reliability is no small feat—it's an engineering paradox.
That’s where SLAM comes in. We found a way to solve both problems simultaneously. What if the pressure-relieving mechanism also acted as an acoustic modulator to enhance low frequencies? With this, we could maintain the seal, tension, and still achieve even better bass response without compromise.
SLAM incorporates precisely engineered channels seamlessly integrated into the ring that connects the earpads to the drivers. Each channel’s length, cross-section, and shape are tuned through simulations, measurements, and critical listening to achieve the ideal low-frequency response.
These channels not only relieve pressure but acoustically modulate the low frequencies, boosting them in a smooth fashion. The result? Six decibels of bass enhancement, or more, extending as deep as 10Hz, and even less low-frequency distortion.
I am borrowing this graphics we already have on our site, I have also shown the symmetric channels we added to the ring that goes between the earpad and the driver.
