WireTailTM
( A loudspeaker transducer binding post ).
After the dramatic sonic improvements introduced
by the Monopole®
the next item on the agenda became the transducer. The tweeter proved exceptionally
difficult to accommodate because most tweeter domes come complete with
their terminals factory fitted. Designing another dedicated terminal for
the tweeter would only introduce one extra unnecessary interface. The woofer
proved to be more easily adaptable.
To this end the Transducer Terminal ( WireTail™
) was designed. Turned from Pure Copper it adds further in creating a direct
solderless link from the power amplifier to the transducer voice coil.
Another stunning improvement in clarity and transparency resulted from
installing the WireTail™ . Finished
in the same manner as all Monopoles®
W-3.
The W-3 it allows for the voice coil fly wire
to be directly secured without solder into the same assembly as the power
wire from the speaker crossover. Power wire up to 8mm in diameter ( 48mm2
cross-sectional area ) can be directly mounted into the W-3. Hence multiple
strand wire or audiophile cable can be directly connected to the
transducer voice coil. The W-2 allows for both the Power wire assembly
and Voice coil wire assembly to be worked on separately.

W-5
The W-5 is the simplest and most versatile
of all the WireTails™. Where a transducer is fitted with standard spring
loaded binding posts, these can be removed and replaced with W-5's. The
consequence is an improvement in both transient response, stereo imaging
and a reduction in colouration. Not as pronounced as with the W-2 // W-3
// W-4 WireTails™ but a lot easier to utilize. The effect is immediate
and permanent.
Fabricated from Pure Copper; silver plated
and then gold plated. Having the same high integrity of finish and materials
that all the other products in the Bocchino Audio product range carry.

W-6
The W-6 is made from hex copper and has a
twin M4 grub screw engine. Insertion cylinder is 20mm long and 4.5mm in
diameter.
Where a transducer is fitted with standard
spring loaded binding posts, these can be removed and replaced with either
W-5's or W-6's.
The consequence is an improvement in both
transient response, stereo imaging and a reduction in colouration. Not
as pronounced as with the W-2 // W-3 // W-4 WireTails™ but a lot
easier to utilize. The effect is immediate and permanent.
Fabricated from Pure Copper; silver plated
and then gold plated. Having the same high integrity of finish and materials
that all the other products in the Bocchino Audio product range carry.
