Thayer Valve Operation
Open Position
 |
Sound follows a smooth, undistorted path through the valve.
It encounters no violation in path shape and imparts no acoustic penalty. |
Operated Position
 |
The primary passage is identical in both open and operated
positions. The result is clean performance, absolutely balanced in both
modes. |
This is a sound path selector that will deliver the sound wave - your work of
art - with finesse, fidelity, and efficiency.
Traditional Rotary Valve Operation
Open Position
 |
Sound waves encounter sharp angles and severe changes of
direction producing complex turbulence and distortion. |
Operated Position
 |
The result is a weakened and stuffy note, loss of energy in
the fundamental wave, increased resistance, and a change in tone color -
loss of clarity. |
