FEATURES

  • Dual-Piston design combining a 22 mm textile dome with a 45 mm ceramic cone. Precision textile dome ensuring high frequency extension, ceramic cone adding low frequency output and efficiency
  • Copper clad center pole yielding very low voice coil inductance for reduced distortion and increased high frequency output
  • Front-side reflection reducing foam ring
  • Flat low-damping IIR surround
  • Vented through to a damped rear, die cast, chamber for low resonance frequency and low distortion
  • Alu chassis with built-in heat sink for increased long-term power handling
  • Dual-neodymium magnet structure
  • Optimized dome shape for ultra-high frequency cut-off
  • Underhung voice coil design for improved linearity
  • 22 mm voice coil design with high power handling, and low resonance frequency
  • Copper-clad aluminium voice coil wire offering lower moving mass for improved efficiency and transient response
  • Flexible lead wires for higher power handling and larger excursion
  • Gold plated terminals to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term reliable connection
  • Delivered with foam gasket attached for hassle-free mounting and secure cabinet sealing

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.

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.
