SR Fundamentals
Transducers
Transducers, by definition, convert energy from one form to another. Our High Frequency Transducers (HFTs), Electronic Circuit Transucers (ECTs), and Ground Circuit Transducers (GCTs) convert room resonance and electromagnetic waves to uniform high-frequency harmonics in both your listening room and your components. Based on a patented combination of resonant material makeup and dispersion patterns, our transducers correct phase and frequency interactions with sympathetic resonance for harmonic balance that complements the music. Simply put, our transducers literally cancel out harmonic noise on any surface they are placed, and bring clarity, definition, and dimension based on how you want to shape the sound.
Our transducers are made even more effective when used in partnership with our Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) Generators, as our ULF products help to overcome some of the ambient RF and EMI in micro and macro applications, paving a foundational direction for our transducers to further emphasize.
Why it Matters
Harmonics are interconnected, so when you affect them - even those beyond the limits of human hearing – you also affect the lower frequency harmonics you can hear. HFTs literally cancel harmonic noise on any surface they are placed. Your system’s overall performance comes from three main fundamentals:
The Sound of Your Room
Your room is like one big instrument with 500 strings – your walls, your furniture, windows, light fixtures, decor, and your even your system. Every time your speakers create a note these strings are being excited, and that’s the problem - they are all resonating out of tune, distorting your music. All this resonance pushes back on your soundstage, compressing the air and decay of notes and distorting fundamental harmonics in your favorite music. This is why most systems have soundstages that primarily exist in and around the speakers. This is also why many systems are set up like a gigantic pair of headphones with extreme speaker toe-in creating one narrow sweet spot that prevents you from sharing the joy of music with others. Strategically placing a variety of HFTs around your listening room reduces this out-of-tune resonance and syncs your room to your system without overdamping with absorption or diffusion so you can experience the magical presence of live music in your home.
The Sound of Your Components
As well designed as high-end audio electronics components can be, they emit or are introduced to some trace of electromagnetic waveforms that can interfere with the jobs they are supposed to do. When this happens, this ambient interference creates a high frequency hash, resulting in a more brittle, fatiguing sound, smearing of image clarity and a sense of compression in the sound stage. Utilizing ECTs on or near circuit components or GCTs within your chassis grounds or PCB ground traces reduces the interference within the unit and improves its overall sonic performance.
Your Personal Hearing and Sonic Preferences
It should be of no surprise that we all hear just a little bit differently. Even if you compare two people with “perfect” hearing, their ears have different shapes, are on slightly different locations of their heads, and on different sized bodies. The way sound forms at any given place in the room will vary slightly based on how the person’s ear is shaped, and where they are in relation to the person sitting and listening. Luckily, our transducers are tiny and easily movable, with many customizable placements so you can shape the sound to your personal preferences.
Its Role in the Uniform Energy Field (UEF)
Transducers are one of a few unifying fundamental technologies that work in partnership to establish what we call the Uniform Energy Field (UEF). As mentioned above, transducers are made even more effective when used in partnership with our Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) Generators, as our ULF products help to overcome some of the ambient RF and EMI in micro and macro applications, paving a foundational direction for our transducers to further emphasize.

Hearing is Believing
We fully acknowledge that high end audio cables and accessories are polarizing territories of discussion. Synergistic Research takes both objective and subjective approaches towards the design and development of our products. We strongly believe that every measurable difference is audible, but not every perceived audible difference is measurable. Rather than getting into argument or debate, we encourage you to gain direct, first-person experience to understand impact of our UEF portfolio, all of which carry a 30-day no-risk money back guarantee.
