Important!
Please observe that these text files for download are actual measurements of the drivers measured in infinite baffle and without any enclosure. Measuring the drivers in a finite baffle (like the baffle of most speaker cabinets) and in any size of enclosure will lead to different response curves.

FEATURES

  • Extreme overhung voice coil with +/-16mm of linear stroke to ensure lowest distortion at very high drive levels
  • FEA optimized suspension for improved symmetry and lower distortion
  • Very large motor structure with 2.5” voice coil for better control and power handling
  • Balanced Drive motor for optimal drive force symmetry resulting in largely reduced even order harmonic distortion
  • Venting through holes in cone neck for reduced distortion and compression
  • Rigid Foamed Paper cone to ensure piston motion even at high levels - for reduced distortion
  • Dual-spider design for higher mechanical durability and high-excursion stability
  • Rigid die cast alu chassis with extensive venting for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
  • Vented center pole with dual flares for reduced noise level at large cone excursions
  • Heavy-duty fiber glass voice coil former to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
  • Built-in alu field-stabilizing ring for reduced distortion at high levels
  • Low-loss suspension (high Qm) for better reproduction of details and dynamics
  • Black plated motor parts for better heat transfer to the surrounding air
  • Conex spider for better durability under extreme conditions
  • Gold plated terminals to ensure long-term trouble free connection
  • Delivered with foam gasket attached for hassle-free mounting and secure cabinet sealing

Note 1

Measured in infinite baffle.

Note 2

Tested in free air (no cabinet).

Note 3

Measured using a semi-constant current source, nominal level 2 mA.

Note 4

Measured at 25 deg. C

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 exciting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 10/14 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
