SW084OM01/02     3¼" paper cone subwoofers, 4/8 ohm

 

 

 

 

 

The 3.25" transducers SW084OM01 (4 ohm) and SW084OM02 (8 ohm) were designed to provide real and undistorted bass from small enclosures. Examples of applications are high quality multimedia and lifestyle speakers and  personal audio products, where bass reproduction without compromises is required.
Works well as dedicated subwoofer in combination with small 2-way designs. Another obvious application is as the woofer portion in a 2-way speaker in combination with a small fullrange unit (ideally like FR040WA)

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

  • FEA optimized suspension for perfect symmetry, reducing even order harmonic distortion
  • Balanced Drive motor with perfect force factor symmetry for reduced distortion
  • Long linear stroke, ensuring low distortion at high output levels
  • Rigid paper cones to ensure piston motion even at high levels - for reduced distortion
  • Vented voice coil former and magnet center pole  for reduced distortion and compression
  • Vented chassis for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
  • Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil bobbin to increase power handling and reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
  • Progressive suspension with optimized compromise between linearity and soft clipping
  • New damper (spider) woven of a mix of polymers and natural fibers for improved durability
  • Gold plated terminals to prevent oxidation for long-term reliable connection
  • Delivered with foam gasket attached to the frame for hassle-free mounting and secure enclosure 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 4.0/5.65 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
