ABOUT RIBBON DRIVERS and BG
Except for our subwoofers, all BG loudspeakers incorporate at least one planar ribbon driver in their design. Our planar ribbon provides the incredible detail, clarity and pinpoint imaging that make listening to BG loudspeakers so realistic and lifelike. A favorite of audiophiles for decades, the technology of today’s planar ribbon makes them as reliable and robust as conventional transducers.
The planar ribbon driver is an evolution of ribbon-based designs that were first conceived in the 1930s. Early designs however were costly, fragile and often unreliable. Over the past eleven years, BG has actively engaged in in-depth research and led the industry on solving important problems associated with the construction of planar ribbon based loudspeaker systems.
BG Corporation was founded in 1994 with the goal of becoming the world's leading source of planar ribbon loudspeakers for Home Theater, Audio and Professional applications. A combination of patented technology and passionate dedication has allowed the planar ribbon to achieve its true potential as the perfect transducer.
