FR084WA03     3¼" alu-cone fullrange, 64 ohm for Line Arrays

 

 

 

 

 

The 3.25" transducer FR084WA03 (64 ohm) was designed specifically for high quality Line Arrays / Line Sources, where sound reproduction without compromises is required. Target configurations are designs with 8 transducers in a Line (8 ohms) or 16 transducers in a Line (4 ohms).

FEATURES

  • True full-range design with on-axis output to beyond 20 kHz
  • Copper cap on center pole to reduce voice coil inductance and to minimize variations in voice coil inductance as a function of voice coil position
  • Black anodized alu cone for better heat transfer
  • Vented polymer chassis for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
  • Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
  • Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil bobbin to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
  • Large motor with 22 mm voice coil diameter for better control and power handling
  • Low-loss suspension (high Qm) for better reproduction of details and dynamics
  • Black 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 at least 12 hours after exiting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 2.83/4.0 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). Unit are not burned in before shipping.
