” The project was code-named Dreadnought after the Theta Dreadnought 5-channel home theatre amp I use to this day. It made for a nifty code name. Along the way we were doing research on driver behaviour in closed cups and I came across a knurled planar-driver patent by Bruce Thigpen. I called him to ask if he thought it’d apply for our use. He thought it might and suggested we try It helped but not enough to solve the problem we had. Bruce’s knurling technology basically creased the driver panel to reduce surface oscillations which can cause nonlinear response and distortions. We discovered that if we took the process a lot further by using a deeper form of knurling that permanently deforms and textures the driver surface, we reduced distortion, improved dynamics and extended response at both ends of the spectrum. ”
