SW263WA01/03     10¼” die cast, alu cone suwoofers, 8/4 ohm

 

 

 

 

SW263WA01 and SW263WA03 are woofers designed for dedicated subwoofer applications. They work equally well for high-end hi-fi, high quality home theater systems, and top multimedia setups.
The extremely rigid aluminium cone, the long linear throw, exaggerated ventilation, and the special dynamic linearization short circuiting rings together makes up for an unusually linear and low-distortion woofer. Even at very high signal levels, the unit behaves controlled and without distortion.
Due to low mechanical losses SW263WA01 masters equally well low level details and extreme dynamic requirements.

FEATURES

Wavecor subwoofer SW263WA01
  • Extremely rigid aluminium cone to ensure piston motion at high levels and for better heat transfer at high continuous power levels
  • Die cast alu chassis with additional spacers for optimal ventilation and increased stroke
  • Vented cone neck for reduced distortion and compression
  • Vented chassis for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
  • Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil bobbin to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
  • Large motor system with 2” voice coil diameter and huge dual 145mm magnet for better control and efficiency
  • Black-plated magnet structure steel parts for increased heat dissipation and power handling
  • Upper and lower  built-in alu field stabilizing rings for reduced high-level distortion
  • Long linear stroke motor for reduced distortion at high levels
  • Linear suspension with specially designed CONEX damper (spider) for long durability under extreme operating conditions
  • 4-layer voice coil for increased control and better small-cabinet performance

Note 5



 

It is generally a rough simplification to assume that loudspeaker transducer voice coils exhibit the characteristics of an inductor. Instead it is a far more accurate approach to use the more advanced model often referred to as the “Wright empirical model”, also used in LEAP-4 as the TSL model (www.linearx.com), involving parameters Krm, Erm, Kxm, and Exm. This more accurate transducer model is described in a technical paper (PDF) here.

Note 6

 

After burn-in specifications are measured 12 hours after exiting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 10/14.1 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
