Borresen X6

Børresen X6 - A revolutionary floor speaker

The Børresen X6 is the largest model in the X series, and it is a speaker that is in a league of its own. This is not just a new entry-level speaker in the Børresen universe, because the X6 also represents a real revolution in quality and performance in its price range. The loudspeakers are created on the basis of all the knowledge gathered in the process of creating the M, 0 and Z series. That is why you will find components from these exclusive series in the Børresen X series - for example the brand new Spread-tow carbon membrane, the acclaimed Børresen band tweeter and the use of copper sheaths in the magnetic motor system.

With the Børresen X6 you get a sound experience that sets completely new standards. The advanced technology and components used ensure exceptional performance and precision. The spread-tow carbon membrane and ribbon tweeter deliver impressive clarity and detail in the music. And the copper casings in the magnetic motor system help to provide a precise and controlled bass reproduction that will impress even the most demanding sound enthusiasts.

Technologies and Components

The Børresen X series loudspeakers are not only a new entry-level into the Børresen universe, but also represent a real revolution in quality and performance in its price range. These speakers are created based on all the knowledge collected in the process of the creation of the M, 0 and Z-series. You'll find components from these exclusive series in this Børresen X series loudspeakers – for instance the brand new Spread-tow carbon membrane, the highly praised Børresen ribbon tweeter and the use of copper caps in the magnetic motor system.

X series membrane – Bass/midrange

This membrane is designed to achieve maximum stiffness with minimum noise. The technological requirements for this unrivaled high-end membrane performance made it necessary to design, develop and assemble all components in-house.

The X6 membrane that consists of three skins laminated into a single unit: two layers of spread carbon fiber, with a layer of aramid honeycomb spacers in between.

The combination of these materials gives this membrane its unique properties. The spread-tow carbon fiber was designed to provide a skin with optimal stiffness. This unique feature of the membrane reduces sound-disturbing vibrations and resonances to unprecedented levels. The aramid honeycomb also has the best stiffness-to-weight ratio in the vertical direction. A flat response membrane in terms of resonances paved the way to build a very transparent loudspeaker with a reduced size of the magnetic motor system to optimize costs.

X series magnet system – Bass/midrange

In the X6 magnet motor system, we use double copper caps on the pole rings to achieve high flux and low inductance. The use of copper caps has been adopted from the Børresen Z-series. Copper produces a response to flux changes – the better the counter-effect of these copper rings, the flatter the inductance curve, and the lower the electro-magnetic resonance. In addition, lower inductance also means fewer spikes in the impedance curve. Both result in a lower load on the amplifier. To ensure high efficiency, the X3 has two pole rings. This causes the loss of some flux, which reduces efficiency, but this is compensated for by a larger magnet.

X series Børresen tweets

The tweeter chosen for the Børresen X6 has the same design used in all other Børresen loudspeaker series. However, there is a reduction in magnet and iron mass. This is possible due to the extremely high efficiency of the original tweeter design. As a result, the efficiency has dropped only slightly from the exceptional 94 dB to 88 dB, but this is still an amazing efficiency for a tweeter.

The tweeter operates from about 2.5 kHz upwards. The moving mass is extremely low at 0.01 grams. The fully concealed tweeter can operate at an impressive speed. The high robustness of this tweeter allows it to handle very high transients without causing any deafening dips.

X series crossover

The Børresen X6 is equipped with a parallel crossover built with the same high-quality components from the Z Series. This makes for a very mechanically stable crossover that minimizes its self-resonance.

X series cabinet

The surface of the cabinet of the new X6 speaker is finished in an elegant black or white piano lacquer and reinforced with optical carbon fiber inserts. The cabinet itself is made of a heavily braced wood composite material that has the property of eliminating sound distortion. The material used for the cabinet also reduces mechanical influences, especially hysteresis. The sonic result is clearly audible. The Børresen X6 cabinet has six bass reflex ports. The tweeter is expected to compensate for the air pressure that builds up. The bass section consists of tuned ports calibrated for musically relevant frequencies.
