Judge Red

 

The review

Shadow Works have used a new chassis in terms of engineering design and created the next generation of aesthetic drivers that use an ultra low resonance chassis. Dynamic in design, manufactured using the highest quality material producing a visually pleasant yet durable woofer.
True one piece cast chassis which has none of the associated flaws with conventional basket designs such as magnetic field distortion which is common with steel chassis; frequency resonance and thermal rejection. Ultra stiff, heat sinking and vent cooling, non magnetic chassis, low reflection multi leg design which have distinct advantages over normal mass market chassis. Dual AVS coil mated to a Ultra stiff 7005 shallow profile floating cone which suffers very low time-smearing, Cone break up and ringing associated with aluminium cones are reduced with an aesthetic red PPG formula doping on one side only for minimal MMS increase.
A high power magnetic system is employed to drive maximum sensitivity from this design. It also has a perfect placement inside the chassis for a perfect flux pattern around the voice coil. within 0.1mm most average magnets sit within 0.5mm to 2.0mm off centred from the pole yoke. A composite chlorobutyl surround with a profiled aluminium cone joint with a integrated gasket design specifically for inversion.

The Judge Reds surround is profiled similar to the infamous Audiophile 8545. Judge Red has been designed to be robust, having a larger surround surface area bonded to the chassis allows for maximum strength with endurance and is a true inverted high pressure gasket for inversion.
This design has speed, accuracy and quality that other subwoofer cannot match in its league. The transience response is amongst the fastest of any 12 inch aluminium cone design. High damping factors amplifiers are required for the best possible sound quality.

This has a very dry desert bass quality that is extremely tight and polished, it lets you feel the upper bass notes with equal venom as the red infra range of music. If you like to get slapped with bass, this will be the one for you, the Judge Red, has aesthetics and character others can not match.

"A Judge", one who has a internal and external quality of honestly and wisdom, one that has the ability to see, hear and filter what is true and punish the lies and falsehoods.

The Latin for 'red' is ruber, rufus; and red's stone naturally is the ruby, the Philosopher's Stone: antidote to poison, preserver from plague, banisher of grief, diverter of evil thoughts. Apart from its other fiery and bloody connections, red is the colour associated with Magic, 'otherness', the 'underground', insurrection, and prostitution.
