SINCLAIR AUDIO
260T 2-Way, Double 6.5" Tower Loudspeaker
Destined to become our most successful speaker ever. The 260T redefines the standards in its category. Consider it as a smaller dual driver version of the technologically marvelous 460T, as it shares much of the same technology and allows you to affordably take home a piece of Sinclair's ultimate acoustic achievement. Designed to excel for home theater and music applications in mid to large sized rooms and efficient enough to be driven to concert levels and maintain crystal clear clarity by most electronics.

Technology
Black Diamond Silk Dome Tweeter
The Brighton series Black Diamond Silk Dome tweeter creates the wonderful high frequency clarity that has become a Sinclair Audio signature. Extremely light silk is heated to extreme temperatures, molded into its dome shape, and treated with our proprietary Black Diamond amalgamation to give it the strength and rigidity it needs to maintain its shape. The tweeter also features strong neodymium magnets, ferrofluid in the gap and thermal protection circuits to handle high power and maintain perfect performance.
Woven Fiberglass Hybrid Woofer
Woven Fiberglass possesses an incredible strength to weight ratio which is why it's a popular material used in the construction of race car bodies, allowing them to stay very light yet maintain perfect rigidity. The benefits are identical when applying it to woofer construction, making it light enough to react quickly for a quick, tight response, yet strong enough to maintain its shape during challenging, explosive, bass-heavy passages so it's free of unwanted distortion.
Woven Fiberglass Hybrid midrange and Aluminum Phase Plug
The Woven Fiberglass Hybrid midrange cone is identical to the Woven Fiberglass Hybrid woofer with the important addition of a true phase plug. Midranges benefit from a true phase plug to help synchronize the sound that comes from the edge and center of the cone and time align the frequencies in the 300Hz-2K range. Frequencies below this, like those from a woofer, are omnidirectional by nature and do not need a phase plug which actually limits the SPL of a woofer. The phase plug slows down the acoustic wave from the center of the cone so it's transmitted at the same time as the acoustic wave from the edge, which is marginally slower, for perfect sonic accuracy. It also reduces cone mass to permit an extended frequency response and allows more airflow through the motor structure which improves cooling, thus increasing power handling.
DALtech Acoustic Damping
Distortion occurs when a speaker resonates from the speaker's own energy, discoloring the desired sound and resulting in reduced sound quality. DALtech, which stands for Dead as Lead Technology, is an acoustic damping material that eliminates this distortion when strategically installed in specific parts of the speaker cabinet, capturing and absorbing the unwanted resonances
